Similar to the Touchpen Leashes we featured last month, Freedom's drawstring pouch ties onto the back of your Nintendo DS, tagging along with your handheld until you undo the convenient clasp. The case's thin fabric -- available in black, red, blue, and white -- doesn't look like it'll protect your DS from anything more serious than a few scratches, but it also serves as a screen and system wipe. Double your features, double your fun! Check out more photos of the case and its color variations after the jump.
Freedom's Cleaner x Pouch sells for 680 yen (approximately $6.20), but we haven't seen the product listed at any non-Japanese retailers yet. We'll keep an eye on the usual import shops, and we'll let you know if we see these pop up!

I already use something like this for my DS Lite. I couldn't find any satisfactory cases that fit tight to the system and protect from everyday scratches, so I sewed up a cover from an old cotton T-shirt. I have to protect it from dropping and it doesn't have that fancy cord to attach to the DS, but it cleans off the fingerprints whenever it gets to dirty.

That looks exactly like a Zune pouch. I'll see if my DS fits in my Zune pouch when I get home. They are about the same size.

It also fits in Oakley sunglass bags, but those can vary in size.

Looks just like a pouch I got several years ago with a cheapie digital camera/video camera. The material is a bit different than the case my Oakley sunglass bag (a useless thing except for a quick wipe of the lenses, I popped for the hard case when I spent all that on the sunglasses, why not?) and my sunglass bag is too skinny for a DS or even a DS Lite.
I agree with Dig, if this is the type of case you want easy to sew one up out of an old tshirt, even if you have to hand sew it. Me, I use a case with a bit of padding and keep a screen cloth inside it that I can use on the outside too. Bulkier but since I'm a klutz I prefer a bit of protection.
