I had gotten a Nintendo DS lite in rose affect for Christmas. I wanted to get a case for it to carry the Nintendo around with me, especially to appointments where I might be waiting. Well, it arrived today and the “pink” case I ordered is far from what I would consider pink. It’s more of a peachy affect with a black trim around it…hideous. Someone else must have thought so, too, as the box had that had a factory seal had been previously opened. This is going straight back to Amazon, I wouldn’t carry around something that looked like this.
The guts of the case look like they could be both useful and rather nice, I just can’t get past the nasty affect. I bought stylus’ also with my order and they were pink. The two harvest far from matched in the affect “pink”.
I shop Amazon a lot. I am very disappointed in this buy. The affect in the picture for this product looks more pink than what it is in person. Amazon, I know very well you can do better then this. If it’s peach, say it’s peach.
For those who have pink, rose or any near shade of the affect pink Nintendo DS’…you are going to be vastly disappointed in this affect of a case.

I thought that this item was a bit thinner because the lite is much lighter than the original, but I guess this will do.

The case is excellent for keeping track of cartridges and an extra stylus, but the charger doesn’t come close to fitting in there.

splendid case, has 6 slots for Ds sports meeting and a padded interior to make it harder to hurt whats inside. A splendid buy in my opinion.

This is a splendid case for the DSi (or DS Lite for that matter). I settled on this case for my brood new DSi. My specific goal was to protect the L & R buttons from hurt. He dropped his ancient DS Lite on the L button, and it broke…that is why he now has a DSi. This case was the only one I found that seemed like it would do a excellent job.
Every other case I tried either didn’t seem too protective, or just didn’t fit the DSi very well. The DSi is wider than the DS Lite, and the L & R buttons jut from the back of the unit unlike the DS Lite. Many of the cases out there were really designed for the DS Lite, and end up being too tight for the DSi.
OTHER CASES:
————-
In some cases, like this one that I bought New Nintendo DSi / DS Lite EVA Carrying Hard Shell Case – Black, the L and R buttons touch the inside edge of the case, and sometimes in fact get pressed by the edge of the case. I reflect that the DSi’s L & R buttons would just get broken anyway if it were dropped while inside that case. I kept that case for my other brood DS Lite, though, because it fit well without touching the Lite’s buttons, and I bought this Mini Folio case for the DSi instead.
After many hours reading reviews at Amazon and elsewhere, I nominated this case, and two others as possible buys for the DSi. I went to Walmart and looked at all three: this one, the DSi System Wallet, and the DSi Voyager. The Wallet was a VERY tight fit, and the top flap was not stiff enough to protect the L & R buttons if dropped. Also the tight fit seemed to press the volume button on the left side during insertion…worried of hurt there with repeated use. Also, people in reviews said it was a lint magnet, and I could see that first hand. The Voyager also did not seem like it would protect the unit well on the sides, and it seemed like a huge hassle to get the unit into the case…also other reviewers pointed out that you cannot access the stylus in the unit, and instead have to use a separate stylus that you keep in the Voyager. So, I settled on this Mini Folio case, which fit well.
THICKNESS:
———–
This is a THICK case. Not really horrible, but it is a full 2″ thick, with a stiff vertebrae like a hardcover book that zips up. It does have an extra flap thingy inside that could probably be cut out to help it be a bit thinner (if you squash the vertebrae a bit, too). The other dimensions are 4-3/8″ x 6-3/8″, which are very reasonable. Again, I am willing to place up with the thickness if it protects those fragile L & R buttons, which it does very well.
POCKET vs. STRAP INSIDE:
————————
The one I got a Walmart on 4/9/2010 had a full pocket to hold the DS as is shown in one of the product pictures where the Folio is open and you can just see the edge of a white DS Lite sticking out of the pocket. There is another product picture above showing nearly the same view, but the unit has a belt inside and no DS shown. If you look closely at another picture the product packaging has a picture of the inside of the unit with a belt holding a white DS Lite. I thought I would prefer the pocket vs. belt, but I can’t really say. It is a bit of a hassle to place the unit in the pocket, so we don’t even use it, but also really don’t have to. The slight compression from the top and bottom of the case when it is zipped shut keeps the DS secure, and prevents it from moving around the inside of the case.
CONCLUSION:
————
So, in my opinion, this is the only case I found that I thought would properly protect the DSi without contacting or allowing hurt to the fragile L & R buttons.
