i think PA used to have it but u know lar, they don't stock outdated items.

i got it from here. downside being u have to pay for the shipping, which was around $7 i think. but reached me in 2 days or so only, pretty fast.

they got a blue one too.

just browse around, they have other colours and materials for slip-on pouches. if anyone's buying anything from renchi lemme know, i might want to get something too!

the hard pouch works fine with crystal case + NDSL

and also the silicone is by Hori, correcto!

yahoooo, my hard pouch has been sent out today!

ahhhhh i didn't know tat play-asia office is from HK oh?

/couting the days...

i've been waiting for 10 days already for the bundle (casing, pouch and screen protector). hope it arrives soon.

another alternative is to get in sunway pyramid. their prices arent bad at all but choices are limited.

expected to give them 10-15 days, before the goodies arrive, i suppose.

Got my DS Lite Starter kit from Play-Asia yesterday It's from Hori, and includes a pouch, screen protector, two extra styluses and three cartridge cases. Can't wait for my DS to actually arrive :|


The pouch. Not too bad, quite nice too.


Had to hold it open to take an inside shot because it's quite stiff XD


The set...

Wow...you are the first person i know that actually buy the pouch before getting the DS! haha!

anyways, im avoiding these type of pouch as i feel its very hard to play the DS with the pouch and its too much hassle to take in and out.

wow congratz Yukaeshi!

how long have u been waited for it?

Well it was because I couldn't wait and thought oh what the heck I'll just get them first before my DS arrives so it'll have a place to stay once it does I don't intend to play the DS with it being inside the pouch though... it's just a place for it to stay/rest... lol

Ordered it on the 14th August, arrived yesterday... didn't expect it to be that fast honestly I ordered just a screen protector from them on the 12th but that hasn't arrived yet though

just a note of precaution with this pouch u just bought. You probably realised there's not much cushion for protection comparing to SWAT's hard pouch, therefore, be careful when handling it.

another pointer is, you can't wash or wet it, 'cos by doing so, will destroy the thick paper board inside the pouch.

Of course, even with cushioning I doubt I would want to rough-handle my DS That's why it's so stiff, I realise there's paper inside it, so yeah... don't intend to wash it either... Thanks for the link, though

yukaeshi, how much is the starter set?
i should have gotten that >_< the things that i ordered are almost the same albeit the crystal case

US$ 19.90 for the starter set

Avoid that starter pack if possible. the only good thing on the starter pack is the stylus and the screen protector. the rest is not really that good.
Sorry Yukeashi

Is that chiaki and nodame as ur avatar?

19.90 is not that cheap haha
nvm la since i already ordered mine.

Yes, it's chiaki and nodame XD XD

edit: aiks my bf logged in ed tim >_<. It's fujihime here btw...

I used my affiliate points to buy this. It doubles as a wallet as well.. which is a nice touch. Too bad i have to take the whole thing out of my back pocket whenever i have to sit down but oh well. the price of handheld gaming in style.

ya i'll have some pics up by tonight. stay tuned!

Well I already ordered the starter kit before I knew it wasn't that good, but I don't mind anyway Like I said, I'm just going to use it to store my DS whenever I'm not playing it... so yeah, don't really need a fancy fancy pouch... yet...
