DS Lite case in the U.S?

I have gone to retail store after retail store, and a bunch of local video games shops too.  I cannot find a darn case made for the DS Lite!  

I don't want a little sleeve thing like EB Games sells.  I am looking for an actual case, something to hold my supercard, DSL, and will actually have some protection.  Anyone find anything in the U.S?  

I didn't wanna wait for something to be shipped from overseas but that's looking like my only option right now.

Not so much accident prone, but REALLY anal about my electronics.  I am actually keeping the DSL in the little styrofoam looking sleeve it came in when it was in the box...I know, pathetic.  

Plus I usually end up selling a lot electronics I buy after awhile on ebay, so I try to take pride in how truly "LIKE NEW!" what I sell is.  It's even more likely that I might do it with the DSL because I am really not a big fan of the white and might get another color when they get released in the U.S.

I am a college student, so I just need something that I can put the DSL and Supercard in, stick it in my bookbag and go to class.  Any suggestions anyone?

Yes, you will almost certainly have to import them, or ask someone like realhotstuff to sell them.

Why not just use a regular DS case?  I'm using mine for my DSLite.

Well, I got this one from E3 this year. It is white an black. The case is very snug and paded, especially the zippered pouch on the back(looks like a mesh net) which holds games. I can fit 3 GBA games in this pouch, but you can obviously fit at least 7-10 DS games.







There is also a strap which folds into the inside pouch(hard to explain) which you can use as a shoulder strap. There is also a clip that can be used to clip to a belt, bag, etc. There are two zippers with the Nintendo logo carved into their surface. It's very nice. Not too big. It won't hold 20 games(maybe it will with creative thinking), but it's great to just pickup and go.

How do you get into e3? I have always wanted to go but I think they say  its only for people 18 and older and have some job as a retailer or something

I use a PSP soft case with my DSL.   :D

I saw some used ones at Gamestop for $3.

You should look at Proporta.

They are offering an aluminium/leather case for the Lite and an aluminium one for the DS.

My son has had his SP in one of their Al cases for several years and it has worked brilliantly.

They are expensive though and UK based.

fits dsl , SCSD mini, and games

cheap at $3

That looks like it could be for the DS Phat.  It doesn't say "Lite" anywhere.

I'd also like to add that it's generally disappointing that accessory manufacturers can't get stuff to the US market faster considering that the DSL has been out in Japan for months.   :roll:

I have connections with Nintendo. Let's just say, they are right next door...
