DS Daily: How are you protecting your handheld?

With a gun?

No, but seriously, what kind of case set up do you have there? You can see this blogger's case above (got it at E3), and even one of our staff has their DS Lite insured (ask your agent). What about you guys? How is your beauty protected? Take a picture, describe it to us!

Mine's unprotected, just thrown in my messenger bag. It's already well protected, unlike the PSP. My games are kept in an eclipse mints case which holds 10 cartridges perfectly.

"The case itself I got as part of a promotion when I bought pokemon blue at electronics boutique (UK chain, long since turned into game) all those years ago..."
We have Electronics Boutique in america too. It's been abbrieviated to EBgames and has since been bought by Gamestop.

I use a bootleg Aero case I got off Ebay. The elastic strap in it sucks, but it zips shut, holds my games, and is nicely padded. Not bad for $0.01 plus shipping from Hong Kong.

I play my DS exclusively on the commode, so the only thing it needs protection from is fecal coliform.

For which I use bleach.

I use pacific design bag, but I think I like the nerf cover so maybe I'll get it, to add more holding space because I have gotten a trigger finger injury from the DS and my sidekick. :( I miss playing.

I keep mine in a perfectly fitted red hello kitty case.The games slip right in with it. I'm going to finally buy the clear case for it because I'm a total snob about showing off my ice blue lite and can not use anything that will prevent me from doing so.

I've got mine in a lovely black leather case to match my black DS Lite. The case can squeeze in two other games, but then again, I don't need more than 3 games (not including GBA since it would stick out) at any one time.

I use a GAMEware sock. Its thin, doesn't add any bulk and protects it from scratches, and I don't need drop protection because i'm not a stupid retard who drops things. ; ) I need the scratch protection for when i put it in my bag (because the DS Lite is still far too big for any pocket of mine).

It's like this but black:

If you want to look classy (and not like a twelve-year-old) this is the best case out there: http://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-ds/nintendods.htm
