Daiso Store Selling $1.75 version of $10+ Hori Nintendo Switch Game Card Case 24

[DavidD]

Weird deal time. 

Hori sells a small carrying case for Nintendo Switch games, which holds 24 games (or 23 with 2 microsd cards).  I own a few -- they are great, but I dislike paying the $10+ I generally see them go for. (https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Game-Nintendo-Switch-Officially-Licensed/dp/B01NASY99Z)

I was at the local Daiso store today, and in their electronics section they are selling what appears to be the Hori Game Card Case 24, sans Hori branding, for just $1.75.

I purchased a few -- the plastic feels a bit softer, and the cart slots are slightly differently designed, but they appear functionally identical to the Hori ones.

These are far better than any other cheap Switch game cases I've seen...

IMAGES: The dark case is the original Hori 24, the clear case is the $1.75 Daiso version.

That’s pretty cool, might go check out the daiso near my area to see if they have it. Do you have any pics of the case?

I did...

I feel as though the CAG forum media attachment feature is ... mildly convoluted.

Thanks mate! After seeing the pic, I’m gonna pick up a few if I can find them.

It looks like there are some minor structural differences present, but they aren't noticeable and don't seem to impact the functionality of the case. It looks like there are a few more "cut out" spaces in the trays, and the "fingernail" holes on the sides of the cart slots might be a little bigger...

Not many, and I couldn’t get the store locator to work last night so I couldn’t even tell you where they are.

They've been in Texas for a while now. I know of at least 3 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

San Francisco Bay Area, too. I hope they have them in stock.

A nice amount of them in SoCal

Unrelated but does anyone have the Satisfye carrying case designed to carry the Switch in the grip with a battery bank underneath? I am trying to find game sleeves to carry extra switch games in the case but to place in the top netting. I found plastic game cases but I was hoping for something softer.

I found them in the Elk Grove area Daiso, near Sacramento, so I assume the San Francisco store should have the same basic supplies.

 

[Gideon68]

yup, got them

yup, was able to get them in Daly City. I forgot how useful the items they sell are. Thanks, DavidD
