On the flip side, you can make a DS case out of just about anything. You can even stick it naked into your pocket or bag and depend on luck. Considering all this, here's our question today: how much money do you think you've spent on cases for your DS(es)? If you're one of the lucky ones who can answer "none" who isn't also carrying around a DS in a sock, then our kudos to you!

Would a DSLite fit inside the shell of a Gameboy? (Without the zippers, etc.)

I spent $12 on an ALS Industries Game Traveler Case. I'm happy with it. I've been considering getting a folio case for my carts, but I haven't, yet.

About fifteen bucks. I had one case that I got for Christmas a while back that kinda bit the dust and then I bought the Star Wars one with the lightsaber styli not too long ago.

Um, no case for me. But then again it's typically in my man-bag, so there is no reason for me to have one.

My original DS Lite's case was a digital camera case that I picked up for 1.50 (down from 19.99) on a clearance table at OfficeMax.
My curent DS Lite's case is a Nintendo-branded case. I don't like it as much as the original.

4$ total. $2 on a neoprene-ish sleeve from dealextreme.com (free shipping!) and $2 on a toiletry bag from Daiso (the Japanese store in Richmond, BC) to transport the DS, adapter and headphones.

I just took an old CD Case and took out the CD Flaps. Works fine for me.

I have spent about $50 on DS cases. I bought 3 carrying cases and 1 Final Fantasy IV hard case that covers the actual system. I have also spent $10 on a very cool came gase that hold about 16 DS games in pages and another $7 on a smaller hard case that hold 6 DS and 2 stylises (sp?).
I actually carry my DS and the smaller hard case in my messenger bag in a pocket that seems it was almost designed to hold a DS and hard case.
I could have bought 2 or 3 DS games.
Whats funny is I did the same thing when I bought my Gameboy SP.

I paid $10 after international shipping for my red zip top Hori case for my red DS brick. Never needed another case.

Well let's see...
I bought one for $20can, and then I decided it was too big and didn't like it. So I searched the net for something better, and I ended up buying one off of SF bags.com for $59can. It's beautiful with it's real leather and super-soft lining. Very high quality too. I would recommend it to anyone. The service there was fantastic too.

I paid 10$ for one of those big ass metal Intec cases, because they look really good......until you take it out of the package and actually try to put anything in them. So I use my DS case for loose GBA cartridges and my DS just rides around in my pocket. I want my 10$ back.

I too also grabbed the sfbags DS lite case.
It is pricey but worth every dollar you spend on it plus it just automatically upgrades your status just by looks alone.
Especially when partnered with either the Red or Blue dual tone systems.

$4. Made one myself for my Phat out of black duct tape and then decorated it with some White-Out I found. I gave it to my sister for her PSP when my dad gave me an official Nintendo one after seeing my paltry attempt at duct-tape construction.

$0. My dad had an extra case for his GPS, and it fits my DS Lite perfectly!

Spent under $10 including shipping from an asian website for a black faux leather case that I am QUITE happy with. Would like a Waterfield design case, but it's a bit too expensive for my taste.
