  Having owned several portable consoles, I have grown accustomed to making compromises when it came to cases. Either the case has room for everything and is way too big/bulky (ex: Nintendo DS G-pak Organizer Black) , or the case form fits perfectly and has no extra room whatsoever. (ex: Logitech PSP PlayGear Pocket – Slim)

  I have gone through 4 or 5 cases specific to the Nintendo DS lite, and DSi. Some being just big enough for the console, almost a sleeve, and some might as well have been a small suitcase. I can however say that this case , the BD&A DSi XL Ultimate Travel Case, is by far my favorite case to date.

  This case has a bottom depression with a snug form-fit for the DSi XL to sit in, very securely, but without squishing the console or holding the shoulder buttons down.
  
  A “flap” covers the console depression itself, and can be secured in place by a small velcro strip. This tab has little nylon pockets that will hold up to 8 (eight) Nintendo DS cartridges perfectly. With this flap in place, and secured with the velcro, you can open your case without worrying that the console itself may fall out due to whatever reason.

  The big selling point for me is the top half, however. I don’t know how they did it, but the top half of this case can easily fit the NDSi (XL) power adapter, 2 normal stylus, the new “pen” stylus, and several small accessories all without putting any strain on the zippers or causing the case to bulge. I currently have my power adapter, a 2-fold game case that holds an additional 4 carts (DSi XL Clean and Protect Kit – Black), and 3 more cases that hold 3 carts each (Nintendo DS Lite Game Card Case). The case still zips with no strain on the zipper at all, and without causing the case to bulge.

  Overall, I give this case a strong 5 out of 5.

  Pros:
  
  Certified : Nintendo Certified product
  
  Professional quality – Superb craftsmanship, a sturdy, and good looking case
  
  Form fitting – keeps the console snug and safe
  
  Cartridge slots – Holds up to 8 NDS games
  
  Accessory net – Generous space for storing all your NDS accesories

  (potential) Cons:
  
  Size – At almost 2″ thick, it’s not going to fit in your pocket. The length and width are about 1/4″ longer/wider than the console itself
  
  Playthrough – This is not a “playthorugh” case, and as such you will need to remove the console each time yoou want to play it

  This is a stellar travel case! The XL fits snug into the compartment and has a velcrow strip that attaches to the game holder part to keep it even more secure. It holds eight games in this stretchy material that keeps them in place. It has a net pocket for the charger or whatever else you want to store. There are 3 different stylus holders of different sizes. The outer material is hard and seems very durable. This case is exactly what i wanted and for [...] bucks you can’t go wrong really. Throw it in your cart!

  It took a very long time to get the Wine color, almost a month.
  
  But it was totally worth the wait.

  This is seriously the best case for an adult DS owner. It’s stylish, goes well with Black or Burgundy DSi XLs.
  
  It’s roomy. The person who said that it was too cramped for the console was so wrong. It’s well protected and snugly fits in the bottom half, while 8 games, plus, my poke-walker, my camera battery charger, my usb flash drive, and some other random pre-order game supplies and charge cable fit in the top.

  Totally worth the money. I hate cases that don’t hold all my game as well as protect the DS.
  
  This is the quintessential case for this generation DS.

  And wine is the best color to get it in!

  This case is high quality and the DSXL fits perfectly snug and it’s very easy to remove. I don’t get the impression that its crushing the system.

  You get 8 slots for your games and a pouch container for your power cord etc, PLUS it has slots for 3 styluses (one big and two small) .

  It doesn’t get much better.

  This case is great! It holds the DSI XL snug in the bottom, offers a place for 8 games on the top, they are so easy to get in and out of the holders, it has a place for up to 3 stylus to be held, including the new pen style, and a thick mesh pocket that will hold a regular charger, a car charger and headphones at the same time! It protects the DSI XL very well, its not hard as a rock, but will definitely protect against drops or while traveling. Of course it is bigger than the case I had for my original DSI, but it’s not huge, about the size of a thick paperback book. I got the wine color which matches my burgundy DSI XL perfectly. Love it!

  Perfect case for the DSi XL. It has real protection for the DSi, and has 8 pockets for game cartridges. Also has a mesh pocket which is big enough for a charger, spare stylus, etc. A+.

  This case is perfect for DSi XL. It has hard sides, is compact, yet has enough room for power cord and several games. A good value.

  This is the absolute best case for the DSi XL that I have come across. Great price too. Sturdy, fits well, and has lots of storage space for adapters and games.

  This is a great case for the DSi XL game. Has extra spaces built in to carry game cartridges and is very sturdy for traveling. I would highly recommend this travel case.
