Default Recommendations for ndsl carrying case??

Hiya guys,

just want to seek opinion (esp from those who own the following cases) on which carrying case to buy. Cz i carry my ndsl often in my bag which has a lot of stuff so i thinking of putting my ndsl into a carrying case when i put it in my bag. my ndsl already has blackhorn's polycarbonate case liao, but i still want to give it that additional security =p

So, i need a case that can cushion shock, and big enough to accept an ndsl with polycarbonate casing. I'm considering these three cases right now but cannot decide, any opinion?

i would prefer the 1st one.
my friend has it and its really good for keeping your DS unharmed.
although there is just one bad point.
the colour comes off quite easily if heavily used.
my friend's one became white when its original colour was black.

my last two pics were hori. only the top one is not. note that the one in my 1st pic is a lousy pirated one =p It's based off a really good case by Kemco (jap company). The design is the same except that the front tag is a shiny long plate that spells out "Nintendo" fully. Plus the cut of the kemco case is so much more stylish and can accomodate the NDSL much better than that pirated crap in my pic =p

Haha, i bought the 3rd one in the end. heh, it's bigger than shown in the picture. but it's quite solid.. can contain my DS with the blackhorn polycarbonate case with grips (and that's quite thick!), ezflash 3 in 1 and a pair of earpiece! and it's *still* doesn't bulge. incredible. =p

I still own the second one, however because it's like so troublesome, I am using the psp soft pouch instead cos it's less bulky and light. Moreover, I don't like the idea of holding the pouch with the ds together esp when you are playing games whereby your finger needs to move fast and requires less actions (for instance taiko no tatsujin, the drumming game)

im currently using this Lite Slipon Socks Pouch - gray, bought frm GameScore for $19.
Its not like those handphone Socks which are soft and easily loses its elasticity.. it grips and hold the DS lite very firmly

@snoopy942: i got the pouch at playasia. 13.50 like that.

@akira_kun: i like your pouch! Too bad i put my ndsl in my bag and my bag has too many stuff so i worry about impact damage on my ndsl, hence didn't get the sock type pouch.

thats pretty expensive....

but the main concern is, i think it looks soft? because i prefer the texture to be hard, so as to protect the DS.... you get what i mean? like those very thin cloth.. lol.. still looks soft to be although you say no?

stormcontrol: i guess more likely i'd picked the pouch from the 3rd row of pic you showed....

The first row looks way too bulky, but that might be a good thing though to some
2nd is not that bad
3rd looks cute

so either 2nd or 3rd =)

nope it's not soft, i'm quite surprised by the texture, its not like those hp socks u seen outside.. it really keep the DS intact and it wont slip out of the socks, 100% tight

i'm getting one pouch soon too
i don't like bulky case, i preferred those, soft soft spongy feeling case

getting mine from online auction, i saw something similar at comics connection selling at $9.90, i'm getting mine at $7.50, is that considered expensive?
it doesn't really look like it will grip onto the ds though :/



but it comes with a hand strap, which is exactly what comics connection is selling~~
