Not well thought out at all July 20, 2008

The cover provides thick protective padding for the DS, and that's all the good I can say about it. The insides has a plastic holder that you slip the DS into, so that in theory you should be able to play games with the DS in the case. The cover doesn't quite match up with the buttons, but the worst part is that it is absolutely impossible to get the stylus out without removing the DS from the case, which leads to the case going back in my purse while I play. It's nice looking, but for gaming on the go it's not very good.

I would never have guessed this was officially licensed by Nintendo.
Te outer casing is good quality, albiet the embroided Mario looks a bit half-hearted.
The plastic innards, however, supposedly to enable you to play your DS without removing it from the case, is absolutely horrible. It's too thick, and the holes for the d-pad and buttons are too small so pressing them is a pain. It's not exactly a snug fit either, mine looks like it has been stretched. Above both of these though - you can't reach the stylus when the DS is in the plastic casing, so you'd have to take it out of the case just to get at it.
Frankly, a below-par piece of kit with stupid design flaws. And the only time in nearly 15 years I've been let down by a Nintendo licensed product.
Update 15/5/08 - I'm not sure why I left this out of the first review, but you can't turn the power on or insert/remove a game while the DS is in this case either.
After about a week I gave up and cut out the plastic. Now I have a decent case. Shame it came down to that.
