Soft-case For Clamshells
« on: February 06, 2006, 12:26:01 pm »
I know I am not the first to use a Nintendo DS case, but I don't recall ever seeing any mention of a model number anyone may have used.

Here is the one I use:

NDS14-
 ), some lime green color, a baby blue and a gray that I have seen.

Here is the inside:
 

It has a space behind thse slots where I can put my car charger, remote, and/or AC charger.

My SL-C3100 fits snugly and securely in the elastic strap, and there is room to leave a Wifi or Bluetooth card that sticks out in the unit while in the case.

Oh, I lied, I just stuffed a type-I CF card into one of the game pockets, but I will say that it is a very tight fit, and you risk damage to the pocket and I doubt you can put another CF card on either side of it.

I paid something like $8 or so plus tax at Wal-Mart.  Sure, it isn't sleek, executive leather, but it gets the job done and is reasonably small in size   The actual case I use for my DS is twice the size of it

Mine is black:

Cool, thanks. I've been eyeing up the DS holders since people have started posting about using them.

I use a Gameboy holster style holder:

It's a Dave Mirra GB holder that has no room for anything but the Z, but I like how the wide strap covers the CF slot, which is usually empty on mine. I carry a CF ethernet and CF wireless in each of my suit, inner breast pockets.

That's the one I use, too, in solid black.

I put my CF network cards in the pocket along with a small USB mouse and a JumpDrive SD to USB adapter.

I put SD cards, a small USB hub and a USB adapter in the elastic card slots.

I keep my AC adapter underneath the Zaurus.

Tight fit, but everything does fit, and it's compact and easy to carry.

I've picked up an ECGO EP00-22 from JourneyGear. Journey Gear Cheap, $20 Canadian at a luggage store in the mall across the street. Neoprene, 2 compartments for the camera card and the network and other cards, as well as earphones, and it all fits ... the 860 is a bit loose in it, it would probably take a slightly larger clamshell with no problems.
