Make your DS bulkier, louder


Gametech's new Sound Shell DLite solves the two major problems with the DS Lite: first, that it's not big enough, and second, that it just doesn't make enough noise. Why be discreet when you can be conspicuous, right? Aside from making the DS totally beefy and loud, the Sound Shell acts as a cover for both the top and bottom of the system, and includes a built-in stand. Okay, that last part -- integrating a stand into a case -- is actually a really good idea. The Shell will retail for 3,200 yen ($30).

GAME Watch has other, more conventional (as in not-full-of-electronics) cases on display in their roundup, including the useful-looking Fine Pouch, which is actually already available for sale.

Gametech card case makes room for reading material


The new Game & Manual Holder 24 from Gametech is one of the few cases designed to hold a large number of DS cards-- this one (obviously) holds 24. It is also the only case we know of that has pockets for game manuals. Since we can't imagine needing the manuals after reading them once, maybe you can use those pockets for jerky, Fruit Roll-ups, or some other flat snack.

The case comes in blue (above) black, brown, and white, and will retail for 1,680 yen ($14.75) when it comes out this Friday in Japan. Of course, if you can't wait, you can just make your own multi-game case.

Back up and manage your game saves

Unlike Datel's Action Replay Max Duo, this game-save manager from Gametech doesn't require any GBA-slot jury-rigging or an unsightly device that sticks out of your handheld like an air conditioner. All you have to do is pop your DS cart into Gametech's discreet USB dongle, hook it onto a PC with the installed software, and you're good to go.

This $30 device can be really useful for titles like Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja or SimCity DS, both of which having only one save slot. You can also keep a back-up of your progress in case you accidentally lose the game or decide to trade it in later.

When you stare at this DS case, the DS case stares back at you

Gametech seems to have a taste for the gaudy when it comes to DS Lite covers, but they totally got it right at least once. This DS Lite case features a kunoichi (female ninja) design in simple white on black fabric. It's cute and striking at the same time.

The design looks quite similar to R Stevens' I am Ten Ninjas t-shirt, although much more feminine and much less blocky. We'd love to clothe our DS in such mystery, but at 3,980 yen ($32.26) it's a little pricey for our tastes. But, then, so are most sandwiches.
