Club Nintendo DS Card Case Unboxing

Open Back

At least it's stylish. The cover art is fine, though made of thick cardboard. The case' structure is somewhat like a hardcover book, which is nice. Unfortunately, that aspect bites it in the ass pretty quickly...

Case Illogic

There's no locking mechanism anywhere on the case, so you can't actually keep it closed. This honestly sucks. At least give me a button snap or something.

Comparison

It's about the size of a DS case, though a hair taller. It doesn't look all that great sitting in the same row as the DS cases, either:

Awkward Fit

When you open the thing up, you notice that the styli and DS game cards are secured by thick grey foam. This actually works really well, although it can be difficult to get the styli out, as the finger "holes" are very small. I had to pop the red stylus out with a pen.

Interior

Styli

I apologize, by the way, for the fuzziness of some of these images. My camera is old, and doesn't like taking close-ups. At any rate, the case is actually good at what it promises--it securely holds the styli (now, I will never run out) and nine DS game cards. The cards fit in very snuggly, and are easier to remove than the styli, since you can just wedge your fingernail into the "hole" and pop out the card. On a related subject, remember when you first saw a DS game card? Blew my mind, personally. It was so tiny!

Games Within

So that's the DS Game Card Case, folks. I think it's a better product than the Wii Remote Holder, but not by much. It's certainly not worth twice the price. Of course, the Wii Remote Holder wasn't worth 300 points, either. My only real complaint is that it lacks a closing mechanism. Otherwise, as a travel case, it's perfect. I can take my whole DS library with me instead of one or two games. Verdict? Thumbs....up.

I thought about getting this, but it's definitely not worth it. I got a plastic case that holds 16 DS cards (and with a closing mechanism) for $9 on Amazon. 600 of my hard-earned points for a prettier outside? I think not.

I would get this except I just cram 7-11 of those bad boys in a regular DS case and carry one or two of them with me.

I thought about getting the all blue one. and for 600 points that I pretty much have nothing else to spend on I just might do it.

I wanna wait till I see if it will fit DS2 games too.

Fantastic review. I can't help but love the styli. The pics look great, too bad about not having a snap.
