UPDATE: CAG case now in-stock
Use coupon code: cagexclusive


For those of you who haven't visited, PenguinUnited carries some pretty spiffy accessories. Well, I assume they're spiffy, I've only ordered their 24 pk DS card pouch...



Fellow CAGer dyreschlock posted a nice review of the case with some good pics:

And fellow CAGer Strell has nice things to say about it...

Originally Posted by Strell Indeed. This thing works very nicely, I must say. I'd venture to say it holds them a little too snugly, but that's being overly picky. The only complaint I have is that the back most page is oriented differently, but this is like complaining "the fourth apple I got had a stem on it, and the others didn't." It really is a nice little case. Zips shut, holds 24 games in a small space, looks stylish, and has a cute little penguin logo that my gf likes. I might get 2 more at some point (yes, I am a nerd with that many games). Anyway, really recommend it if you can pay a slight premium on something like a games case.

I'm not sure what he's talking about the back page... both of the ones I ordered were fine.

Anywhoo, onto the deal. I finally broke down and ordered a pair of these the other day (after failing to find a coupon anywhere). Once I received them in the mail, I immedatly noticed that they were very high quality. I posted on another forum about them and shot an e-mail off to the nice folks at PenguinUnited.com thanking them for the awesome merchandise, mentioning my SPAM post and asking if they had a coupon code they'd like me to hand out as well.

They hooked me up with the coupon code: 'thankyoufrompenguin'. It gives you 12% off your order (pre-shipping). These cases are a deal at $10 and a steal at $8.80.

Thank you! I've been needing a good storage solution. I've got at least 40 DS games. I once designed a case that would hold like 50 GBA games, but I never bothered to produce it.

I ordered 2 cases, 1 of each color, with first-class mail:

Applicable Discounts: 12% off
Total Goods: 19.98
Shipping and Handling: 3.67
Total Discounts: 2.40
Grand Total: 21.25

Priority Mail shipping would have been only $1.50 more.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother with Priority Shipping. I got my two cases in less than a week... Very satisfied with the standard shipping.

Know when the coupon expires?

I'm surprised nobody else went nuts for this. It looks to be the single best S game storage solution ever. Alas, CAGs don't own enough DS games to need one...

This is definitely the best carry case for DS games, bar none. It starts out a bit stiff, squeaky, and smelly, but any vinyl product just takes time to break in. It's functional, slim, and attractive -- I couldn't ask for more. And honestly, it's cheap enough even without the coupon, so this should convince anybody sitting on the fence.

Thanks for the info. I'll definately look at getting at least one closer to when the coupon expires. I'd get it now but I think I've spent too much because of CAG.

very nice, i've been looking for something like this for my 30+ DS games.
right now i have most of them just shoved into a digital camera case, making me dump the whole pile out to find a specific one

Finally ordered one of these...can't wait.

I wished they had something similar for PSP games as well.

I have that case!! It's really awesome!!

Gah... I know that feeling. Spent $300+ on DeepDiscount this month. :(

I guess there is no way to use the discount code with Paypal checkout. . .
EDIT: yes you can, just don't choose PayPal on the first checkout screen, you get a chance to choose it later after the discount code is entered.

Looks like they ran out of Grey cases already. I picked up 2 Red cases anyway.

That's awesome. I've been looking for something like that. I have that many DS games that I picked up 3 (too bad they don't have any grey left). Now I can give a bunch of these small three casers away.

ordered 2, will need a 3rd one in a cpouple weeks after the TRU sale

Hi Guys, This is Richard over at Penguin United. First I like to thank everyone at CAG - over the past few days, our pouches have been selling really well. I talked to Uncle Bob about the shortage of grey pouches:

Believe it or not, these Pouches are items we custom made - we only made 200 units of them and over the past few days, its been almost sold out...(Only the Red ones are left, we have about 30 red ones left. We are still deciding if we should continue this product... We love it because we know there are no better alternatives out there. We designed the concept because we like to keep all of our games in a "library" like how we collect baseball cards(for example) However, it is hard for none hardcore gamers to realize the advantage of this item, and we cannot drive the price down without producing couple thousands of these. It is a real challenge for us.. The pouches you got may just be a collector's edition : )

To add on to this email - We believe in the value of this product, but it is risky for us to produce more because it has been difficult for us to push volumn of these products to the distributors or retailers because most of these guys don't see the point of this product. The pouches has not been selling well prior to people posting about it i the gaming community. But for the past couple of days, it has been great. I think since it is new, people have to know about it for it to be successful.


So right now we are still not sure if we are going to keep this product... I wil keep everyone updated.

I hope you do keep making it! With some more advertisement this product can be a huge hit. I was going to order a couple of the gray ones but I came too late :(
