Would anyone recommend a DS Lite case? • Gaming • DS • Eurogamer.net

I've recently bought a DS Lite along with some hori screen protectors, but I never thought of getting a carry-case or skin. Do I really need one? I'll always keep it in a secure place but I suppose its better to be safe than sorry. Can anyone recommend a case? I got a skin for my old SP and it was quite frankly rubbish, so I would like a little advice before I get anything this time.

Oh and its black, so a fitting colour scheme would be appreciated. I was interested in this. But I can't find a black version anywhere.

I bought that from Game for Ł10 and sadly only in white... Its fine though and keeps the DS safe. Just wish I had bought a white DS now as my black one is forever covered in finger prints.

The PSP Slipcase works perfectly for the DS lite, much better than it does for the PSP as the DS is a clamshell and the PSP has an exposed screen.

I've preordered a blue version of this case from Play-Asia. Not due to be released for a few days yet though so I can't tell you what it's like!

This one is also recommended too.

Here's a good thread about soft Lite cases.

I got a Foofpod (which come in DSLite size, not just iPod size) after Shinzou llagged them up in that thread. It's really good quality. Thick enough for protection, but not so thick as to drastically affect the size of the unit.

There are a bunch of them here I will go for the hori ones and the keys factory ones, they are better quality in general...

Thanks. Those Hori pouches are top of my list now.

yes, Dune is ok, I have bought from them before, but they don't have all the selections sometimes, but if you can find what you need and like, it's easier than import.

I highly recommend the Venom Flip and Play cases. I have one for the DSi and it's excellent. Only costs about Ł7 as well. Keeps the DS nice and safe and you don't need to remove it from the case to play it.

Anyone know of a really well fitting rubber skin for the DS?

I was going to go for this one but the review about it coming loose has put me off.

I'd be interested in your suggestions for other types of "don't increase the bulk on the DS" cases.

I don't see the point of a case for a DS. They don't need one and you just add to the bulk.

I've had my two for ages and both screens are mint bar touch screen wear. The clam case has done its job and you get a road worn ds which looks ace frankly.

It will be getting chucked in my ruck sack though.

Going from your postcount and the content of the only 2 posts you've made, NO.

FUCK OFF.

My ruck sack has a lovely little dediacted compartment that I only keep my DS or psp in, depending on the mood.
