I have been looking around for a great case to put all my DS games in. I have around 10 games but have had a hard time finding a good solid DS case. I was thinking of buying the official Nintendo plastic white case with Mario on it, but seems kinda blah. Only holds 6 games too which isn't bad. I just want something kinda cool looking.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a perfect case that holds a good amount of cards, remains compact, and looks good. I've been searching for a while and haven't found a thing.

In the end, I bought one of the first products I came across: the official Nintendo 3-card cases that come in a 3-pack. They're also a nice translucent grey that looks very smooth and allows you to view the labels without opening the cases.

It's not a perfect solution considering the fact that if you want to carry 9 games around you have to bring all 3 cases, but they really are very flat, compact sticks that can easily fit in your pocket.

My sister and I have these. I love them!

I use those two. I have over 20 DS game so I've got a bunch of them, but they work great for organizing and protecting your games.

That is Play-Asia's selection. Some cool things there but wish they had more pictures. I don't really want something to travel with cause I had a small camera media case and lost it, or it was stolen.

They sell that 3-pack at the local WalMart for under $4.00. I don't have any experience with the product, but they're cheap enough to experiment with.

I store my games in Altoids chewing gum tins...6 carts fit perfectly with no wiggle room.

Wow those cases look great! I'm gonna have to keep them in mind as filler items.

The Naki G-Pak seems like a pretty good carrying case. Ordered mine a while ago from amazon but still have yet to receive it. Might be a lil too big to carry with you everyday though.
Heres a link to a it on amazon

As well we all know (or should know), anything made by Nakiworld and of the G-Pak line kicks ass.

You can snag one of these, which should hold 24. I should have mine within a few days at the latest.

Otherwise I just have an army of those little 3 game clear plastic holders you can get at Circuit City/Best Buy/Target/etc. They are ok.

Try using an Altoids Gum tin to hold between 6-8 games in one tin. I have 15 games and use 2 tins to hold all my games. Plus they are metal to they keep your games safe. If you have a PSP, use the Altoids round mint tins for UMDs.

Yeah something with a little style. I kinda liked the black or brown leather case. Has a nice look to it and holds GBA but I think it takes a few weeks to get. I have a nice CD holder for my games. Looks like a book. And I am thinking about doing something similar. Get a book and glue and hollow it out. Would be kinda cool.

The 3 game holder is absolutely perfect. I have a hori pouch, and arranged properly you can comfortably fit three of those three-game cases in the back zipper pocket. What this means is you can 100% safely carry 10 games with you (one in the system) anywhere you go. The best thing about the cases imo is that they are a nice hard plastic and don't flex easily, but at the same time the games are not held in with any pressure...the design is so perfect that they have absolutely no room to move, but are not being held down or clipped in.

For 5 bucks, its a great buy. Probably the best portable game carrying solution I've ever had. If I ever get a digital camera I'll take pictures to show how well they fit in a hori pouch case.

Then again, I guess the hori pouch is pretty frickin awesome in itself.

I saw an official Nintendo one at TRU, had Mario on it. Held like quite alot for around $10 but don't know... seems too cheesy. I want something stylin' just don't know what yet.

Has anyone thought of using slide album pages in a three ring binder?

I did just that, actually, about a year ago when I was frustrated with keeping them in order.

They fall out way too easily. The pockets don't close and are fairly roomy, and the carts themselves are slick. There's no friction.

It is a good idea if if would work though.

A while back people were talking about these thingies - cool nes controller mint tins - This one's mine but I actually don't use it much - I have an A.L.S. Industries zippered case that holds my dslite eight games and cables/gba carts. You can get the mint tins at World Market/Cost Plus stores and also I think at Hot Topic.

I really like that idea. It is cool, nintendo and seems pretty cheap. I just need to find one though :/

If anyone can't find the little NES mint things, I've seen a ton at my local Hastings. I'd imagine they cost between 3-5 bucks.

If you seriously want one and can't find one, let me know and I'll see what I can do. There are probably several still there.

There's the Nintendo Power mints.

I find eclipse gum cases a good holder of 10 games.
