Quality DS Cases?

[mariocaseman]

Does anyone know where I can buy QUALITY DS cases?  I wasted over $100 on Ebay for complete garbage!  They don't even stand up!  They break easy, and are just terrible.  I don't want to but from Nintendo because they limit you and charge too much.  Any ideas or recommendations?  I need them for my Game Boy games.

You get what you pay for

Nintendo

For the price is really not that bad. You probably won't find anything cheaper that has the same quality case.  Just buy with multiple credit cards and order weeks - months apart (you probably don't need all of them at once anyway).

I've ordered from Nintendo with the same CC each time and never had a problem.  There's no way to talk them into ordering more than five packs of ten at once, but I've ordered months apart and never had a problem.  All together I've ordered about 200 of 'em.

I know the exact eBayer he is talking about, and I completely agree. The cases are complete trash. The clear sleeve that covers go in are all messed up along the spines, so you can't even hide the ugliness on a shelf. Luckily, I only bought 20, so I know not to buy from him again. I'm going with Nintendo all the way from now on. Don't even want to take a chance on getting this garbage again.

In case someone else is wondering which ones we are talking:

I personally have not bought these yet, and now will not.

And to SonicAdvDX: I asked first because I had been planning on ordering 800-1000 of these and did not want to reveal these to those who didn't know about these yet in fear of them running out of these.

Has any one else ordered these?
I think someone of us more reliables ( I mean not newbies, I DON'T MEAN YOU MARIOCASEMAN OR SonicAdvDX ARE NOT RELIABLE!!!  ) said that he/she had ordered these and they were OK.

BWA-HOLY BAJEEZUS!!!! A THOUSAND!?!? Wow, you should be glad you asked, because I know I would have been absolutely fuming with anger if I ordered 1,000 disappointments. Heck, I only got 25, and I was pissed.

Anyway, for the "reliables" who have ordered from eBay before and were satisfied, make sure they verify that it was THAT EXACT eBay user, not just the exact same picture. I got mine from that kjrox guy that you linked to, and what I got was garbage. Next time I'm back home, I would be more than happy to take some pictures of the cases for you, so you could see what I'm talking about. There's just SO MUCH wrong with them. The cover sleeve looks like it's poorly attached, they don't look right when they're closed, and the tops and bottoms of the spines are beyond screwy looking, but maybe that's just me and mariocaseman being particular. PLEASE, before you make an investment on this guy's crap, let me take some pictures of what I got before you make your decision. I have a pretty good camera, and with the right lighting I'll be able to show you the cases in detail.

I have to admit, the first thought that went through my mind was to go to GameStop, buy 25 DS games, repackage them into the crappy cases, and return them, but... Something about that just felt a little evil.

Yeah I'll wait, I don't even have extra money to buy 800+ cases right now, as the postage would be around buck per case. 1000 cases... you get the idea. 

My need is around 500 at the moment, but was thinking of buying some spares and sell some.

[Arseen]

I didn't find who gave me that link, but saaw that Applequeso promised to order few of those and check the quality.

Well AQ... didya?

[SonicAdvDX]

Also, I forgot to mention this, but they stink.

I don't mean that as in "they're bad", I mean, they literally have a bad scent. The chemicals used to make the plastic must be crappy or something, because I've had these cases for two weeks and they have not stopped stinking. I don't know why, at all.

Still don't remember who it was but he linked me to these in first place.

Any ETA on the pictures. No hurry won't buy for while anyway.

You don't need pics, Arseen.  Trust me, a huge mistake!  Hell, if you want I will mail you mine for free as soon as I get the Nintendo brand ones.  They are total garbage my friend, total garbage.
