I figured you were talking about something like the plastic cases that used to come with the old GB classic games. I know some companies started to make similar cases for GBA games here in the States, but I haven't seen anything for the DS yet. Just in Japan, anyway.
i just looked over about 6 different DS cases tonight and for 9 bucks got everything i needed for transport.
Holds 8 games, the DS , and the charger with room for a couple GBA games as well and is barley any larger then the DS itself.
it's all black and has suade on it too... soft and fuzzy to the touch
targert has those as well as a larger version. i felt no need for anything bigger, sorta defys the whole portable game system idea otherwise.
NEVERMIND... you posted while i was typing... u just want cases for games alone.... go with the tictac boxes, and a wad of cotton shoved in to keep them secure.

hey StRaNgE, is this the case you're talking about..
because I have one in red and while I am completely in love with it, I didn't want to post it because maynerd said he wanted one only for his ds cards.
Otherwise, it is a GREAT case for your DS, especially for me since I play mainly GBA games on mine, with it having space for 8 DS cards and (for me) 3 GBA games in their Mad Catz cases.
It's also a great value, since you can get one for yourself in red, blue, black for only $10, boyyee!

I have this (in blue) and it's pretty amazing. Then again, I've had their cases since the GBA (original) days, and couldn't be happier. Anyone know if they've made one for the PSP yet?

LOL!!! :lol I like your protector of the TicTacs, too. =D
Anyways, I always use those little plastic cases that the games come with. I then put all my DS games inside a type of small coin bag I have that is attached to my DS carrying case. Everything is kept together and pretty well protected.

Yes indeed, after much debating today that is the one i went with. i chose the all black insted of blue or red. i figured when in hell would i ever have time on the go to have more then 8 games on me to play and when at home they can be returned to thier proper cases for longer storage. a win win situation and small enough to still shove in the pocket of cargo pants or shorts. unless you're a cowboy wearing pants so tight you aint even got room for yer nuts it's the perfect case.

I got that case for free at Best Buy when I bought my DS a few weeks back. Got a silver one that looks sweel. It fits more stuff and maintains as much compact-ness as it needs to while still looking tolerable... and I actually prefer it to my imported Hori case which I'm donating to a friend of mine. Funny how that works, huh?

I need a new box (jpn), I got really drunk one night and threw it against the wall and it broke.
Game is fine though.
Where can I get one?

I thought I was clever by using an old original Game Boy clear case to hold 4 DS cards. Turned out just a bit too wide, though, so was a real bitch to get open again.
I heartily approve of this DS case. Currently contained within, I have:
7 DS game cards
4 regular GBA games
1 oversized Bomberman DS ROM card
1 oversized Wario Ware Twisted cart
1 E3 2004 DS stylus (thick)
1 DS charger
1 pair of Electroplankton earphones
1 Play-Yan media player cart, and of course,
1 Nintendo DS
Once I send back Bomberman to Ubisoft, I'll have room for two more DS games in their proper slots, and enough open space to cram in at least four more. Hell, the DS games are so thin you could probably stuff them under the DS when you place it in the case.
If you need a DS case to store all of your stuff, get this one.
I have this one:
I have all the little plastic slips on the inside full now (there's 9 I think)... with one game in the DS. I wish there was one that was like a tiny cd wallet. Maybe like 2 or 4 games per page, maybe even just one, that'd be awesome.
Anyway, I like this one because of the fun little slide in pouch you put the DS in. The plastic slips are against the inside wall and there's plenty of room for other junk. The top has another storage compartment too, good for GBA games or whatever. I only leave the short strap on it so it's easy to carry.

Scoobert said:Theres this one, which hold 3 games and you get two of them. So technically will hold 6 games.
Or if you just want individual game cases:
THanks for the suggestions all. This one looks pretty cool. I like the tic tac idea though. And the pod card one is pretty cool as well.
I still can't believe I have to import these damn things! Why isn't cool stuff available in the US?

I have that in grey, I love it. I also use it to hold my camera when I'm not using my DS.Rolio said:hey StRaNgE, is this the case you're talking about..

Unison said:Old-School Gameboy clear snap cases hold 4 DS games comfortably.
I got it to close easily enough, but then found I couldn't so easily do the "press in to release and open" bit. Ended up more or less prying it apart and was thankful I didn't rip the plastic.JoshuaJSlone said:

I think that you guys would be more satisfied with just using the cases that the games come in and keeping them all together in a bag. I dunno about you, but I'd rather put that money towards another DS game. :lol I guess I'm a cheapskate.

They need to make, like, a pez dispenser case for the DS carts.
Maybe with a mario head at the end.
