GBA Slot DS Cases with link

[Marcus_CA]

For the new guys like me, it's rather hard to find DS cases that have the old GBA slot in them. I finally found a decent seller with a decent price today and others might enjoy the link. Note it obviously doesn't have the Nintendo logo - sorry.

They also sell a grey version if you're interested in those. I do apologize if there's a sticky with this link or someone else posted this before... I never found it so I had to search for it and credits to onion case who left a "pro tip" under his section mentioning this website. I initially found the same reseller although with higher prices on ebay ; so kudos for saving money onion man.

When you get the cases do tell us the quality.
We know that some one is selling similar cases on ebay but the quality is somewhat shit.

and http://www.genesysdtp.com/index.htm?nintendodsblackdetails.htm on Wednesday and tell you guys the results when I get them.

I received some of these about a week ago and only tested to see if GBA games fit and they did. As for build quality, the spine seemed kinda flimsy when opened but was very sturdy when closed.

The genesys ones'?

I'll be able to compare them by next week and share the results.

And I bet they smell like magic marker as well

Sorry, didn't notice you had two links there. I ordered from squaredeal.

Would you recommend them?

I just got the quotes from Squaredeal and Genesys and the shipping costs more than the cases themselves so I'll have to wait a few weeks to fund it.. I'm mostly buying them so I can give a feedback and tell other users where to buy from. I'll probably end up finding a Canadian reseller though.

The shipping is literally like 30$ for a 10-pack which is around 10$ after taxes. Ridiculous.

I would recommend them, however there are some downsides: The color does not match the Nintendo brand cases (Nintendo=Dark Grey, SquareDeal=Black), The covers on TCP seem to be slightly too small to fit (there is a noticeable space on the sides), and when a GBA game is in the case it has a very slight bulge. This pic shows (top to bottom) Nintendo brand, SquareDeal w/ GBA game, SquareDeal w/out game.


Also here is another pic showing how the game fits inside and the bar on the left side of the case that makes it bulge when shut.


The price was definitely right at $.50 each and if I include shipping it still came to about $.80 each. I like them but could see why some people may not.

I would not recommend them personally. I have a few. I can get over the darker plastic,but it'sthe other things that bug me.

The cover film is extremely flimsy and more susceptible to creasing, and they need to have the plastic cut on the left inside to properly fit a GBA cart. Plus they aren't as rounded as a normal Nintendo case, so they look a little jaggy when next to OM cases.

For people like me who don't own OEM Nintendo cases, it'll do the job? And you ordered from SquareDeals as well?

You have to trim these to make GBA games fit.  We've all seen these before.

Someone posted somewhere about some light grey ds cases that a company makes that seem to be pretty good quality and they have the GBA cart slot. Can't seem to find it right now though.

I think you are talking about the Genesys cases that SeymorOnion posted about but apparently those were made to fit the DS Lite dust cover so they also need to be modded to fit GBA games correctly.
