Nintendo DS G-pak Organizer Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was really excited to get this product once I found out how many games it holds. I have no idea why it's so difficult to find a case that holds more than a few DS games, especially given their small size, but it is. This case will hold 30 DS games and a bunch of GBA games. There isn't room for much else inside--just 2 dividers and space for maybe your DS, its charger, and maybe headphones or a car charger--but it does have a zipper pocket on the outside that will hold some smaller stuff (maybe a couple more games, a stylus or two, screen protectors, etc).
The problem I had with this product is that the games were difficult, for me at least, to get in and out of the mesh slots. It's a pretty tight fit, and I was only able to get 4 games per row (each row should hold 5) without forcing the 5th one more than I was comfortable with. Since the slots won't hold games in cases the contacts are left exposed, which concerns me given the difficulty in getting the games in their slots in the first place. I also noticed that it was pretty tough to get games out of the 2nd or 3rd rows when the 1st row was fully loaded. The mesh, which is black, and the elastic also partially block the title on most games, so its tough to see which game is where unless you actually pull them partly out or only put them in about 3/4 of the way when you're loading them.
These issues won't be a problem for some people, and are certainly better than the alternative of just leaving the games lying around or cramming them into the nooks and crannies of other DS cases. For me, however, the pain in getting games in and out was enough to dampen my enthusiasm for having more game storage, and I'll be returning this product and buying more plastic cases instead. If the ability to store a ton of games is your absolute top priority and you're willing to tolerate the inconvenience of inserting and removing them this case may be for you--but personally I'll keep looking for a better solution.

DSi/DS Lite Universal Transporter Carrying Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this bag for my kids 2 DSi's. It will fit both, along with 20 games, but it is not very roomy. If you have a silicone cover on the DSi, it does not slip in & out of the bag very easily as the bag is felt lined and the compartment for the DSi is fairly snug. You deffinitely couldn't fit a DS in here with the Nerf Armor case on it. While I complain it is not very roomy, it is not meant to tote around 2 DSi's and the accessories that go along with both of them. If you wanted to use this for just 1 DS & accessories, it would be perfect because everything that goes along with it isn't very large anyways.
It has an adjustable strap that can fit a child nicely, yet adjust to fit mom & dad too. The strap attaches with a spinning hook, which I find great because it doesn't get all twisted. You can even remove the strap and use the handle on top of the bag if you wanted to. Lots of room for extra stylus (slides into an elastic strap to hold in place). Overall, a great little bag that doesn't take up too much room and keeps the DSi's safe when not being played...I wouldn't worry about the DS too much if they were inside and the bag was dropped.
******UPDATE******
I actually can fit my sons DSi in the bag when it has the Nerf Armor foam case on it. It is very snug, but it does fit!! I have 2 kids, which means 2 DSi's...so I'm ordering another Nerf case and I think this bag will hold both of them with the cases on. I'll update then and also add a picture showing them both in there.
****** 2nd UPDATE ******
Well, we have had this bag for almost 8 months and it is still the perfect bag for my kids 2 DSi's. I never got around to ordering another Nerf Armor case as I stated above, but I don't doubt it would fit both of them if needed to. With the DSi's in it, this bag has been dropped, had drinks spilled on it, been in the middle of tug-o-war matches, and still looks fairly new. I only wish it could hold more games as time goes on and their game collection grows.
****** 3rd UPDATE ******
About a year later, our DS family has grown to now include a DSi XL. This bag WILL fit the XL, could even fit 2 XL's snugly beside eachother. The newest additon, the XL, is mine (yes, parents have toys too!)...I still keep my kids in the pockets and just stick mine in the front of the pockets. It floats around loosely, but everything is felt lined so it is perfectly safe. So the ultimate DS bag has just become the super ultimate bag that can transport 2 DSi's AND a DSi XL safely!! Yay!
