Nintendo Licensed Ultimate Travel Case (Nintendo DSi XL)

First of all, this case is *big*. If you're looking for something to protect your DSi XL as you put it in your handbag, this is not it. Rucksacks ought to be able to deal with this wee beastie just fine, but if you're relying on a totebag or a reporter bag for your everyday needs, you may want to consider researching smaller cases.

The case itself is built like a tank, with a solid, non-flexible top and bottom. I reckon you could throw this down a flight of stairs with your DSi XL inside and there wouldn't be so much as a scratch (er, not personally recommended that you try this...). Inside the case is plenty of storage room. The bottom layer, for the DSi XL itself, is extremely snug and well-padded, and will hold your XL in place so that it doesn't slide around and scuff. The middle layer, which comes down to cover the XL, and is held in place with a small strip of Velcro, has room for your favourite eight cartridges. All of these fit fine in the little pouches, which cover them up to the "Nintendo DS" part of the label, protecting the label in doing so. The top half, or rather the inside of the lid, has holders for the large stylus and two smaller styli, and a netted compartment for accessories. I'm using mine to hold my HeartGold PokéWalker and two further games cartridges, and the case still closes with no problems.

So, if you're looking for something to protect your DSi XL from a possible nuclear holocaust, and aren't fussed about how much storage space the case is going to take up, get this. If you're looking for something to keep your XL in so that it doesn't get dirty, and size is an issue, look up one of the smaller, material cases. Personally, I would recommend this sucker, as it's brilliant.

I have been looking for a good DSi Xl case for a while and had tried a few but found them to be very poor. This one though I am rather pleased with. It is a very sturdy hard case which should protect your DS from pretty much anything I would think. The DS is a very snug fit inside, perhaps a little to tight but it is held firmly in place and should not move at all. There is a hinged flap which sits over the DS and is held in place by a small velcro flap, this again secures the DS in places and protects the top of the DS from scratches. The underside of this flap is a very soft material which will not scratch the Glossy finish on top of the DS which I thought was a really nice touch. On top of this flap there are eight elastic pockets to hold your DS carts. On the topside of the case there is another large pocket and three elastic holders for your spare stylus.

Overall a very good quality sturdy case that I would certainly recommend.

This case is absolutely perfect for the DSi XL. The machine is held in a custom shaped recess with a strong flap covering it. The whole case is robust, very protective and even has storage space for a few games. Overall, brilliant and excellent value.

I got this for my daughter to protect her new DSi XL after reading a couple of good reviews and have been pleased with my purchase.
The case seems well made and is quite sturdy with a reasonble level of padding/protection.
Storage is good with space for the DSi XL, upto 8 games and spare stylus.
The DSi XL has to be removed to be used, and is held in place when stored by a lid with velcro closure.

All in all a good case with no obvious negative features that I have identified yet.
An easily recommended item if you are looking at a case for a DSi XL.

Firstly this case is bulky so if you are looking to save storage space in your bag this is not the case to buy. If you are not that fussed about storage space and care more about the safety of your DSi XL then this is the case to purchase.

The case is very sturdy and will withstand pretty much any scenario I can think of. I purchased this case for my 3 year old to keep his Ds in when we are on the go. He will put this case in his rucksack along with any other toys and books he wants to take with him. Like any other 3 year old he throws his bag around without a care in the world and his Dsi remains unscathed inside its case.

The winered colour of the case is the same colour as the red Dsi Xl which is nice. There are 8 little pockets to hold game cards, 3 slots to hold extra stylus and a large netted pocket which he uses to store his large Disney Toy Story 3 - Buzz Lightyear Projector Stylus (Nintendo DS).

There is an integral flap which lifts up to reveal a recess which holds the Dsi. This recess is very snug and will not allow the Dsi to slip out.

The case closes via a good quality zip central to the sides of the case.

All in all this is a superior case which exceeded my expectations.

I wanted a case which was reliable by offering reasonable protection, another space for a decent amount of cartridges (though I mostly use flashcarts such as the Acekard 2i and SuperCard DSTWO) and some space for accessories.

I preordered the 3DS XL and really wanted a safe place to store it both on the go and when I am at home.

Despite being designed for the DSi XL and the DSi XL alone, the 3DS XL fits like a glove regardless of the fact that the 3DS XL is a bit smaller that the DSi XL in size (though the 3DS XL has way bigger screens). I like the fact there is room for 8 cartridges which means even if I build up a huge 3DS game collection I can carry a sizable amount of it with me (all DS games are on my flashcarts).

The netting at the top houses space for a large cleaning cloth and a USB charger cable for charging when I can find a USB powered device (usually a computer) which is easy. There is a couple of slots and therefore plenty of room for a couple of replacement styli (plural of stylus because styluses would be grammatically wrong) in case I feel inclined to carry some and I could probably shove another little accessory in the netting.

All in all this was a good purchase, especially when I had no absolute guarantee that I would be able to fit the 3DS XL in so snugly. Thanks for the case!
