For some, the current selection of game cases for the DS just doesn't meet their needs. Christina Cary, for example, wanted to pack away her bulky plastic boxes, but wasn't able to find a storage solution with enough slots to hold her carts. Even Penguin Unlimited's pouch, for all its cuteness, only holds 24 games -- a paltry amount for the serious collectors out there.
Christina ended up doing what any creative craftster would do -- make a case of her own with whatever she had lying around the house. She scrounged up fabric from a pair of pants, plastic from an old pencil case, and other materials to create a 36-cart caddy that rolls up like a rug and sticks shut with two squares of velcro.

I was imagining something like this while driving home the other day... had I taken initiative, I could'a been famous! I might just do the same thing.

I like it. Those official DS cases with Mario on the front are good for holding your DS too.

Never underestimate the power of ingenuity, skill, and a sewing machine!

You'd never find enough good DS games to fill that. I've had a DS for years and I only have 5 games. And one is the Metroid Hunters demo

Love that case!!!
I use a plastic craft box from Joann that will hold an insane number of games, but I really like this fabric option--you can see what you have more easily, and it's nicer for travel--when you can't choose just a couple of games to take with you, but don't need to carry your whole collection either.

Note: It's Penguin United, not Penguin Unlimited. I just bought a blue silicon game sleeve from them the other week, great folks, very nice.
