DS Lite TekCase?

Post by Mozgus »

This caught my interest:



Much like with the SP, I find the DS too thin, and uncomfortable. The Leather Shell and 3x battery for my SP made it much easier to use and the crazy battery life made me very happy. I've been waiting for a solution to both problems with the DS and I hope this might be it. Unfortunately it does not replace the DS battery, but merely acts as a portable charger for it. So basically you would have two batteries attached to the system. It claims to charge both batteries at once with the same mini-USB port. I hope thats true.

I think this coupled with this 1600mah battery would give the DS some crazy life. The DS Lite's default battery is just 1000mah.

I want it, the lite is way too thin and it hurts my hands when I play button intensive games like mariokart or contra 4.

Same here. Portability is never a big factor for me. The DS was never really small enough to fit comfortably in a pants pocket anyway.

Switch to cargo pants. They easily fit a DS.

No thanks. I've been wearing typical blue jeans all my life. In fact, they're the only thing even connecting me to the image of a kansas man at this point. I dress gay enough as is.

Plus I feel naked in anything of a softer texture than jeans.

I finally ordered the tekcase. They sold out the first batch within days and I just now noticed they got more in stock.

Also I did get that 1600mh battery and it was a piece of shit. It lasted like 45 minutes on a charge. It was a total lie.

That's what I do. I can easily fit my phone, wallet, ds, and a ham in those pockets. It's awesome :mrgreen:
