I only have one charger for my DS Lite at the moment, and I'd like to have an alternate around just in case something happens to it. For $2, even if this is crap (which it doesn't seem to be), it won't be that big of a waste. And besides, I'm practically out of outlets in my room anyway. So basically, this device may be perfect for me!
Thanks OP!

2.27? Eh, why not. Now I don't have to worry about taking my charger with me when going from my campus apartment to home.

another one in white for 11 cents more. apparantly only works for NDSL.
I might bite on these, I am severly running low on outlets and right now the nintendo charger is a pain to plug in.
The first time I saw the DS lite charging port I thought it was usb connector. I use the USB ports on my computer a lot but the wii has USB and it can charge my ipod so it would work with this.
However, the nintendo adapter states 450mA, the USB port, with out circtury will only provide 100mA so I guess it would take longer to charge.

Still that can't really hurt it, it would just take longer to charge, I guess. Anyone have experance with these?

I actually picked up the white USB DS charging cable as well as a bunch of other random items.
Some other notable items:
White Wireless Wii Sensor Bar ($7.80)

DS/Wii Trigram Screw Drivers ($2.00)
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2905
Metal Retractable Stylus for DS - 4-Pack ($3.50)

DS Screen Protectors ($1.37)

iPod Cable ($2.98)

You can also use coupon code DX041500 to get $2.00 off if you buy 5 or more items. Not exactly earth-shattering, but between the free shipping and ultra-low prices, it might sweeten the pot enough to add a couple of other items on.

I'd be wary of this only because it isn't first party, but I suppose that's just me.
Karyyk, is the coupon for 5 or more items total, or 5 or more unique items?

You can pay with Paypal at this site, too. That was nice.

i dont want to sound like a jackass or anything, if i do that is.
But the ipod cable link links to the IR sensor bar for the wii.
Fix the link?

Or you could have just searched the site. Just type "ipod cable" in the little search box at the top and you would be good to go.
Now that's sounding like a jackass.
On the other hand, then you'd have to wade through how the site does its search results, which is a major pain, so there...link fixed.

I just ordered 5 items including the tri-wing screwdriver, the black USB DS charge cable and an S-video cable for the Wii. Didn't know about the coupon code but I'm not gonna stress over $2.

Just got mine today, and it works fine. The box it came in was cheap (and it was crushed when I got it), but the cable seems perfectly fine and it charged my DS just as good as the regular charger. Great buy for $2 and some change, especially when I'm using my one extra outlet to charge another device, or when I want to play my DS while it's charging (I usually sit on my bed while playing my DS, but the regular AC adapter cord can't fully reach the bed so I usually can't play it while charging unless I sit on the floor or stand).

The first time I saw the DS lite charging port I thought it was usb connector.
LOL, me too. I even went as far as trying to plug it in to my pc. I have a mini-USB cord hanging out the side of my pc that I use for everything (camera, phone, etc.) and just assumed it was the same connector.
Thanks, OP. I think I'm going to get this and a DS case from that site.

Damn, I thought the spare DS Lite Charger I picked up for my sister at Bestbuy for 5 dollars was great....
