Much better than expected...
I bought this case just so my DS wont get banged around, scratched, etc, in my pocket while i was at work and was thoroughly impressed with it.
It provides a nice tight snug fit for your DS and keeps it from moving around. The leather is surprisingly high quality and has a nice finish. And the magnetic button works like a charm.
I was expecting a cheap little case but instead got a high quality and wonderfully built case.
A must buy for DS lite owners.
Nice Case!
Overall this is a nice case. If you are looking for something with some additional storage, this is not the item for you. Your Nintendo DS will fit snuggly inside to protect it from scratches, but you won't find any spare space for games. Quality is good - and I actually had a friend who saw it and asked where I got it becasue they wanted one.
Pretty good for protecting your DS
This is not a bad case, although the "belt clip", is just something you slide your belt through. Not something you can clip on and off real easy. It also has a nice strap that you can sling over your shoulder as well. Though you can only store your DS, there is just enough room to put in some cheapy headphones or a game. It does a good job preventing you DS from getting banged around or scratched.

Amazon.com Product Description
Nintendo DS Lite revolutionizes the way games are played with ultra-bright dual screens and touch-screen technology. Connect wirelessly to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and put your skills to the test against players across the room or across the world. With impressive 3D rendered graphics and ultra-bright screens, Nintendo DS Lite delivers cutting-edge portable games for fans of any genre. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.
Included in this limited edition bundle is an Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite, a carrying case, and the Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! game. A little about Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! - Inspired by research conducted by Professor Ryuta Kawashima, a prominent Japanese neuroscientist, comes Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! Professor Ryuta Kawashima's theories revolve around keeping your brain “young” by performing certain mental activities quickly through a series of minigames. Activities include performing simple math problems, counting people going in and out of a house, drawing pictures on the Touch Screen, and reading classic literature out loud. When you start a new game, you will take a series of tests and get a score that shows your “DS Brain Age." As you use the software, your in-game Brain Age will drop. You can keep up to four save files on one Game Card – sharing a game allows you to compare your results with those of family and friends. You can also send a demo version of the title to friends or compete with up to 16 players in a battle to see who can solve math problems the fastest! (Both downloadable modes are local wireless only, not on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection).

Ice Blue Nintendo DS Lite Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! Game AC Adapter Nintendo DS Stylus (2) Wrist Strap Instruction Manual
Customer Reviews
Worth the money!!
I just got this on black friday and can barely put it down! They call it ice blue but really it is tiffany blue and the case has a patent finish. It's cute enough to carry in my bag without it obviously being a video game. The case holds three games, the console, and an extra stylus.
The brain age game is surprisingly fun. The daily trainings don't take very long, but there are a lot of sudoku puzzles to pass the time. The voice and handwriting recognition are pretty accurate, and I didn't expect to see them in a console at this price point. That being said, you really can't play this game for more than 30 mins so definitely pick up another game when you get this.
My only complaint with this set are that I don't see any battery indicator. The game just cut out while I was playing. (Correct me if I missed it.) Still, at such a low price, it's a ton of fun (and I'm in my 20's) and really nice looking!
The coolest color and case yet!
I just bought this item in store and am so happy that I chose this over the red Super Mario edition that just came out in conjunction with this one today. The Brain Age game might not be worth as much $$ as the Super Mario game, but the finish on this DS Lite is the BEST yet. You can't tell by the pictures, or, even the box, but when I took it out, I was shocked, it's GREAT. It's a super light ice blue with this thick clearcoat over the top and it is just bananas cool. WAY cooler than any of the metallics that look neato but kinda scratch a little. The matching ice blue patent carry case has cool (no pun intended, ha) silver zippers and closures. If Tim Gunn played Nintendo DS Lite, he would definitely have this version.
The Ultimate Brain Drain
It is hard to believe that the Nintendo DS is going on into its 5th year of making gameplay addictive. While Nintendo had delivered well with getting young gamers know how to touch their way to the stars of Super Mario 64 DS, and roll with the dice on Clubhouse Games, many gamers have really been thrown into originally getting into the DS with the wild and addictive Brain Age. This game not only changed the way we play video games on the Nintendo DS, but it really introduced video games as a assertive teaching tool for older gamers who want to make their brains feel stronger and more focused on speed and sound. Now, for the first time the original brain drain is bundled with the Nintendo DS Lite.
The new Nintendo DS Lite Brain Age bundle pack is the latest in the Nintendo DS bundle packs, and it is well worth the money. The DS Lite is set in a sleek and crisp ice blue color, which resembles the addictive gameplay of Brain Age, and how your brain will actually freeze whener you get stuck in a mental problem playing Brain Age. The bundle pack also takes it a step much further and conviently by adding a secure case where you can store you DS and Brain Age game in a simple color which matches the mood of the blue color of the Nintendo DS Lite with nimble and noble compliments.
As for Brain Age, it is a extreme mental challenge that will surely blow your mind away. the game really offers so much in challenges, as you test your mind to addictive mathematics where you have to show how fast you can solve simple problems like 2+2=4, or how fast and simple you can easily read a paragraph from a simple story. The gameplay is absolutely addictive for the eyes, and in the heart of the game. There are so many challenges ranging from eye contact, into figuring where you rank in a speed race crossing the finish line, all the way to completeing the addict puzzles of Su Doku, a mind-blowing challenge where you have to complete a 9x9 grid of numbers where every number from 1-9 doesn't repeat in the same row, horizontally, vertically, and in smaller 3x3 grid boxes. While the graphics are nothing more than simple on the gameplay, the challenge is wildly addictive, and really drives you into the gameplay.
All in all, while you actually can get both Brain Age and the Nintendo DS LIte seperate at around the exact same price, this bundle pack really comes along once in a lifetime. If you haven't yet owned a Nintendo DS Lite, or if you searching for a video game system for the first time ever, than I absolutely recommend the speed and addictive gameplay of this delightful Nintendo DS Lite Brain Age bundle pack.

Revisting The DS Lite
Since Nintendo orignally came out with the Nintendo DS back in 2004, it fully brought in a whole new way we play video games on the go. Since then, gamers everywhere have been rejoyced with with video games that have been now recognized as classics like Super Mario 64 DS, the addictive puzzle game Meteos, and the addictive mental challenge of Brain Age. But, there have been also a lot of great bundle packs that also have been made like back in 2005, when the original DS was made with the fast and furiousness of Mario Kart DS. But that also could in 2006 when Nintendo remade the DS, into the popular DS Lite, which also delivers top notch gameplay, and the ability to play against other gamers online. Now, just in time for the holidays, a pair of special Nintendo DS Lite bundle packs have been made to make your favorite gamer happy on the go.
The new Nintendo DS Lite in a limited edition Red is a sleek and conveint system that is specially designed for hard core Nintendo fans everywhere of their favorite plumber, Mario, with the classic M cap design on the DS Lite. The bundle pack also includes the widely-popular and addictive New Super Mario Brothers which was released back in 2006. The game is one of the most challenging and welcomed games released for the DS library, and returns with Mario going back to his 2-D side-scrolling roots, as he goes all out trying to rescue Peach a.k.a. Princess Toadstool from the clutches of Bowser and Bowser Jr. The game is not just fun and entertaining, but also includes new challenges and power-ups that are addictive including the mega-mushroom which can turn Mario into a giant, and the specialy turtle shell, which can make mario turn move like the koopa troopas he used to throw to knock his foes out cold. The game is fun and is beautiful in not just the graphics, but the gameplay as well.
While die hard Nintendo DS gamers are anxiously awaiting the upcoming release of the new Nintendo DSI which will be coming out sometime in 2009, they'll just have to do with the Nintendo DS Lite in the meantime. Also at around $150, the Nintendo DS Lite with New Super Mario Brothers is a great and entertaining game and video game system that will bring fun and wonderful joy hours on end for anyone who is looking for a new video game system for their favorite gamer, or anyone who is a hard core Nintendo fan.

Excellent Special Edtiton Mario DS!
This is one of the best systems my boys absolutely love! This also has the Mario logo in front plus the game at an amazing price! Great deal! Way to go Amazon! I didn't have to go out on Black Friday and freeze to get this at an even lower price!
a good little system
Being a gamer for 20 years, I've seen my share fair of systems come and go. Although I was skeptical of the DS at first, seeing it as a gimmicky handheld with nothing new to offer (aside from that stylus functionality), I grew quite fond of it after my friend's constant nagging to get me to try it.
Games like Brain Age give you something different, but the best part for me is the abundance of awesome 2D games. The Castlevanias, Contra 4, Sonic Rush, Megaman ZX, and more are part of the grand renaissance of old school games (along with all the offerings on Xbox Live Arcade and the other consoles).
Of course, if you're looking for some quirky games taking advantage of the stylus and whatnot, they got you covered, too. WiFi multiplayer and Game Boy Advance backwards compatability are just icing on the cake.
I put off buying it for awhile, since I'm pretty happy with my PSP, but I couldn't pass up this bundle. One, it comes with New Super Mario Bros., an excellent side scroller that you can play again and again (though it's no Super Mario World, in my opinion). Two, Amazon sold it at a lower price than certain retailers, with Free shipping and no tax, and it shipped out a few hours after I bought it! So no Black Friday madness for me (this came out on the 11/28/08, the day after Thanksgiving...)
And the Mario design doesn't hurt things at all ; )
So overall, good system, even better bundle.

Nintendo DS Lite Littlest Pet Shop Character Stylus - Polar Bear
Product Details
Customer Reviews
Very cute!
What can I say? If you are looking at this item, then you have a little girl in your life who LOVES Littlest Pet Shop items and that will love this item as well! This stylus is cute, high quality, and durable. It won't fit in the DS Stylus slot of course, since it is bigger - about the size of a pen, but it does have a wrist strap. I bought this one for my youngest daughter and the monkey one for my oldest daughter. They are both very cute and my daughters love them.
Cute and hard to lose
The character stylus is great for younger kids, as they are so much easier to find than the traditional ones. The only con is that they (obviously) don't fit into the stylus holder on the actual DS.
excellent gaming stylus
i love playing with my nintendo DS but i hate the tiny stylus it comes with! this cute pen-like stylus solves the problem because my hand no longer hurts from gripping the way-too-small-DS-stylus and i get to play with more accuracy since my hand is farther from the screen. i can now see precisely where i'm pointing. the design is also very cute and i like how the color matches perfectly with my ice blue DS.

Cute but more for the short term then long term
My sister recieved this along with her DS for Christmas. She's in love with littlest pet shops so my parents felt this was the best thing to get for her. First off the stylus it comes with, looks more like a pen. The polar bear that sits on a snowflake ontop in not removable, which makes storing a problem. It also comes with a purple cloth screen wipe, a game holder and a cover for the ds. The game holder, holds an extra stylus (not included) and 6 games. It actually is a nice case with the ease of slipping the games in and out. The only issue you might run into is teaching your child how to open it. The ds cover it comes with is very cute but has a very stong glue/plastic smell to it that you'll want to let air out. The cover looks better on the ds when it's closed then when it's open. It has two elastic loops on one side that go around the top of the ds and nothing on the bottom half except a elastic that streches from the outside to the top of the cover to close it. So basically when you're plying a game the bottom half of the cover just hangs there. You also can't keep the cover on when you have to charge it, because they didn't cut any holes for any plug to go through. So for my sister, it's better as a cover when she isn't using it, and it's not charging. Besides the game case, she doesn't use the stylus or cover that often. It's still really cute, but since i'm sure she'll own more than 6 games, and want a cover that isn't so much work we'll have to upgrade in the future.
So. . . So
My daughter thought it was the cutiest thing ever. The storage case was very cheaply made, the latch to close it keeps falling off.
DS Starter kit
My daughter loves the DS cover and stylus, but the game storage case broke the first time she used it. The plastic clasp that holds it shut broke the first time she clipped it closed.

Lighter is Better
People will no doubt find the Nintendo DS Lite to be a way for Nintendo to sucker people out of their money. It can be that way, if you think of yourself as a sucker, but for me the DS lite is a little better. Simply put, if you're content with your original DS, then don't even waste time to buy this one. If you don't have a DS period, the DS Lite is a much better investment than the original bulky one.
With the DS Lite, gameplay is made a little simplar. The button placement and brighter screen make the gameplay a little better. For one, the start and select buttons have been moved to resemble where they were on the original Gameboy Advance. This makes handling some of the functions (especially for GBA games) a lot easier. The buttons, sadly, are a still a little small for guys with big hands like myself.
The DS Lite also comes with a phony GBA cartridge (called a "cap"). If you don't have a GBA game plugged into the system, you can put in the phony cartridge to keep it from collecting dust in there. However, when you do stick in a GBA game, it sticks out by about a centimeter. It just looks weird. The cap does, at least, keep the system looking good.
Perhaps the most welcome change to the DS Lite is the screen. The original DS screen was not exactly bright. In fact, it was, in comparison the DS Lite, rather dark. Games like Metroid Prime Hunters were darker than they had to be. On this new screen, the difference in how bright the games appear really shows. Not only that but, you can adjust the brightness if need be. It doesn't really affect the battery life, either. You can play the DS Lite for as long as you played the original. And also like the original, it charges while you play.
Another welcome difference is the touch screen itself. These screens last a lot longer than the original DS. Those who have an original DS no doubt experienced a lot of scratches on their screen from their stylus. To the point where it was noticeable. You could still see the screen, but it was apparent that the stylus was doing a number on it. The screen is more protected here. The stylus doesn't scratch the screen quite as easily. In other words, the touch screen lasts a lot longer.
The DS Lite also looks better, and fits in your pocket better. It also performs all the tasks of a regular DS. For example, if you're playing a game and you suddenly have to go, just flip it closed and it sleeps. There's also a place to store the stylus, and the stylus is better too. It's a little bigger and thicker, so it's not quite as easy to lose.
Some problems with the original DS still plague the DS Lite however. You still can't play Gameboy Color or regular Gameboy games on the DS Lite. Also, you still can't configure the controls to play a GBA game much easier. In other words you can't configure "X" and "Y" when you play a GBA game. This probably won't bother you in the long run, however. Also, the touch screen still has its sensitivity. Touching the touch screen with your bare hands is more dangerous than the stylus scratching the screen. The oils from your fingers might damage the screen and therefore, it won't respond to the touch of even your stylus.
When the original DS launched, owners will note that there were not very many good games availible. About the only good game during its launch in 2004 was Super Mario 64 DS. Now there are plenty of games out there (and not all of them are ports), so if you do want a DS, this is a great time to get one, and the DS Lite is a better investment than the original one by far.
The DS may not play movies, or MP3 players, but to be honest, that almost defeats the purpose of a gaming system. Am I looking to buy a portable entertainment center? Of course not, I'm looking to find a system to play some of my games on, and the Nintendo DS delivers. Real gamers know it's about the games, not about the bells and whistles of a system. For the casual gamer, the Nintendo DS delivers, and the DS Lite is a fine improvement.
The Good
+Vastly superior to the original DS
+It fits in your pocket easier
+The Screen is much brighter
+Touch screen is more durable
+The placement of the Start and Select buttons is easier
+A better stylus
+The battery life is unchanged
The Bad
-Those with an original DS, who want a DS Lite will have to spend more money for yet another DS
-Some of the cons of the original DS are still here

- Somewhat slow start-up with DS Download play
- Some cheapo accessories are Nintendo certified: AVOID Switch&Carry (BD&A), stick with Pelican!!!!
- Limited built-in configuration settings (only military time format????)
- Need to exit games to access key configuration settings like brightness, etc.
- Colors produced in limited quantities and sell out too quickly!!!!
Looks and Form Factor
I've owned several DS lites, including the Onyx Black model. I chose the DS over the PSP for the games. PSP 2000 Console - Piano Black
This is by far the best looking DS Lite!! The cobalt blue on black color scheme shines a hue that's closer to royal blue or deep purple! The top is still a shiny smudge magnet, but it looks so cool anyway! Just wipe it down. :-)
The decision to make the base a matte black is both great for looks and function. The unit is easier to hold, doesn't smudge on the matte black part, and won't slip out of your hand as much as previous models. This feature started in the new BrainAge2 bundle with the red top. You can kind of see this from the pictures but it's not really highlighted in the descriptions. Considering this is the 1 biggest improvement, that surprised me.
I've also heard that the hinge was improved for durability, but I can't visually see a difference and I'm not going to dismantle it to find out. :-) It's a common known problem that hinge cracking has been the only common defect, so just handle with care. I personally haven't had a single DS falter on me in any way.
Other than that, same DS Lite form factor that you know and love. The only real gripe is that every version of the DS Lite is produced in very limited numbers and sells out in a few months. So if you like a color, you have to act fast before they disappear from retail!
Game Play and Functions
This handheld is very well designed for game play. The speakers and microphone built in to the unit are more than adequate, and you can attach peripherals or headphones to the included port.
Nintendo has done a great job of very targeted well designed games. Kids games like MarioParty Mario Party DS and the New Super Mario Brothers New Super Mario Bros. are fun and engaging! Get a group of friends together and play each other with only 1 game cartridge using DS Download play and versus modes!
Similarly, plenty of games for adults including the cult favorite BrainAge Brain Age, the new BrainAge 2 Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day and my personal favorite Big Brain AcademyBig Brain Academy!
Plus now language games like MyWordCoach My Word Coach
and MySpanishCoach My Spanish Coach offer more edutainment options to a growing list of games!
Nintendo has decided that fun game play and great design is more important than high-end graphics in a handheld, and I think they're right!
Features
The most notable DS Lite features are based on the Wireless connectivity. Some add-on applications even allow you to wirelessly surf the net. There are even apps that allow you to do other stuff like play MP3s with it!
Many games offer multi-card play (each player needs a card) or download play (1 card needed for 2-8 players) that both use the wireless connection.
The device has awesome battery life, and I've gone a week of light use without having to recharge. The heavier the use, the more you will need to charge it.
The configuration screen lets you set one of 4 brightness modes, which will also allow you to make your charge last. Some options aren't easily set . It seems to default to military time. Also, you can't change your brightness while in a game. Still those things are minor in context.
Your game scores and profiles are saved on memory stored on the game cartridges. That means you don't have to worry about transferring your info from one DS to the other. :-)
Hopefully the next version includes a faster wireless. Loading those games just seems to take too long. Still, it works and once again, this is a minor gripe.
Conclusion
Overall this device is an improvement. Nintendo's DS will continue to attract fans. Just make more of them guys!!! These colors sell out too fast!
You will want to buy a nice case and screen protectors to protect your DS! Avoid all Switch&Carry accessories!
Here's some of the ones I like!

Pretty in Pink and with improvements! DS vs. DS Lite
My brother and sister got the teal and pink Nintendogs bundles last year with the regular DS in them so I've had a chance to try them out. I wasn't sure whether I wanted the Nintendo DS, PSP, or anything like this at all. However, I decided to go with the DS now after playing around with theirs.
Playing video games on the DS in a whole new experience. There are lots of games to play for all ages. The microphone and touch screen get you involved and interacting with the game in a way a joystick or game pad alone just can't do. The wireless feature can't be overlooked either. Locally, we can play against each other including our friends even in different rooms. You can also pictochat (a picture and text chat program that comes pre-installed on the DS). You can also play against others worldwide too! All you need is a compatible router or a Nintendo Wi-FI USB connector for that which was set up by my parents. Playing against others makes it exciting, and a chance to tryout our skills against others. My parents try them out first for "our safety". I think they like to play them too :-). My favorites so far are like Mario Kart which only gives out your user name (we use nicknames instead of real names) and Clubhouse Games which displays your user name as well as select from a list of already made text messages--as far as I know you can't add your own text when online for this games. Other games may be different so it's a good idea the parents do check. So far I haven't come across any usernames that should be bleeped either so everyone seems to being playing nice or Nintendo has a way of screening them out. My parents still took the time to make sure my younger sister and brother knew why they shouldn't give out personal information even when playing locally.
The only decision left was did I want the original or Lite. There was only $10 difference when I bought mine. The regular DS is great, but I went with the Lite because the improvements made it better for me. I liked the looks and the brighter screens when comparing the store display DS Lite to the original DS.
APPEARANCE
I like the design! It's trendy, fashinable, smaller, and I liked the soft feminine look of the coral pink. However, I liked the pearl pink and teal too of the original DS. They were limited editions and not available now so color does make a difference to me as well as size. Anything in softer shades instead of the bolder colors appeals more to me. I admit that I think lime green might be cool even though it's bold. Anyway, I was so excited to see that the Lite was available in coral pink! Everything I was looking for!
SCREENS
I have some vision problems, and the brighter screens are a real plus. There are four settings so I can find one right for me almost anywhere I play including outside or on the go. My brother and sister's were OK to play indoors, but I felt myself straining to see them in other lighting situations. The colors themselves seem bolder, crisper, and sharper. Really!
BATTERY
According to the manual for the original DS, it takes about 4 hours to charge. You can expect to get six to ten hours of game play on a fully charged battery depending on the game activitiy. This seems about right though the battery life will decrease over time.
According to the manual for the DS Lite, it takes about 3 hours to charge and may last 15 to 19 hours depending on the lowest light setting or about 5 to 8 hours on the highest setting. Battery life also depends on the game activity. For example, I notice the battery drains quicker when using the Wireless feature to play games. I use the third or fourth (brighter settings), and it does seem to last a little longer than the original DS, but has with the brighter screen setting.
STYLUS
The DS Lite comes with two color-coordinated stylus that is a little longer and thicker than the original DS's brown one. I find it easier to use. It also slides in the side instead of the back.
LIGHTS AND MICROPHONE
The two indicator lights and microphone are in the middle of the Lite and the front edge of the original DS. It's a little easier to see the DS Lite's lights when closed and notice them when the unit is open too. The light turns red when battery needs to be recharged, solid green when battery status is good, blinking green when in wireless mode, solid orange when plugged into AC and charging, etc.
SOUND & BUTTONS
The original DS might seems to have slightly louder sound, but both original DS and Lite are easy to hear with some good ear buds. Either version of DS includes a jack that will accept headphones or earbuds with a standard connector.
The button layout is a little different. For example, the DS Lite power switch slides on and off on the side instead of a push button on the front.
ACCESSORIES
The original DS they have came with a wrist strap that included a thumb-touch pad. I'm getting a strap for the DS Lite as I've seen first-hand, how the strap protect the unit from falling to the ground! The prices for replacement straps, batteries, and even that WI-FI connector would be within my limited budget and can be ordered directly from Nintendo if needed. I've had electronics and toys in the past where it was almost as expensive to buy the replacement part as just buying another one of the same thing.
SUMMARY
The main differences between the original DS and the DS Lite for me are the size and brighter screens.
All I can say is my younger sister and brother are very happy with their original DSs, and they've held up well. They might even be a little sturdier too--maybe the lighter weight on the DS just gives that appearance. Anyway, the size is not a problem for them since they tote them in a case instead of their pocket or purse, and they have colors and bundled package deal they really like. They do like the brighter screens, but not enough to ask for the Lite instead of something else this year. I'd have to say that would be my thoughts too if I already had the original DS except that the brighter screens really do make a difference for me.
The DS Lite coming out is good for those who prefer the smaller size and brighter screens. I think it was worth the small difference in price since I didn't have one at all. For those who don't need the smaller size or brighter screens, the original DS will probably come down in price as I suspect it will be discontinued making it more affordable especially since the games, accessories, and replacement parts are reasonably priced too.
This is just the best overall handheld system in my opinion. You won't be disappointed with the original or Lite DS. The only thing my parents wish is that more educational games especially for pre and grade school kids would come out. The mic and touch screen are ideal for that too, and my youngest sister would love "games" she could play too. That way they wouldn't have to buy a separate educational handheld system, cartridges, and accessories just for that.
So what are you waiting for? If you're a parent, quit reading this and buy that DS. If your a kids, be sure to put this on your list!
