So here are my general impressions.
The good:
• Game Boy and Game Boy Color games do not require modification to fit. This is obvious because it was the entire point of the project, but I mention it because it’s so important.
• When placed next to original DS cases, I cannot tell the difference. This allows me to put my cases next to my original DS cases on the same shelf and everything matches. For me, this is as important as point number one.
• I do not smell any type of odor.
• They seem nearly as durable as the original DS cases. As long as they don’t break during shipping, they will make it through anything that I will ever put them through.
• They are new. This is also obvious, but it’s worth mentioning because my original DS cases were bought used off of eBay and they have the typical scratches that come with used merchandise. These are like buying brand new video games.
• They fit most manuals. This is minor for me since I don’t have most of the manuals for my games, but it’s still a positive feature.
The bad:
• When held in place, they games are very tight. It’s good that the games won’t move around, but I found that they don’t seem to pop out as easily as a DS or GBA game in the original DS cases.
• They cost a little more than the original DS cases. I think the extra cost is definitely worth it, and completely understandable considering how unique the cases are, however, it’s worth mentioning because you can typically find DS cases for under a dollar each even in small quantities.
That’s about it. If the bad points seem pretty minor, it’s because they are. Overall, I’m completely satisfied with my purchase and I will purchase again if I ever use up my initial order of 100 (I’m only using about 20 at the moment). Congratulations Shadowfox. I look forward to your next case project.
