It has what I needed and I'm impressed so far. I did a lot of accessory searching for my DS Lite before buying this kit - sight unseen - because it had the kind of accessories I needed and the one and only feedback so far was very favorable. I hadn't been to fond of much of the accessories for DS Lite so far, but I took a leap of faith with this one hoping for the best. I was not disappointed! The kit came in today and, even though it's not the prettiest case out there, it is very practical and offers the protection I want for my DS Lite, especially for travelling. It comes with: 1. A two sided travel bag; one side for the NDS Lite the other for accessories. I like this bag because it has exactly what I needed. A safe singular storage area for the NDS game unit and a separate area for the accessories I usually travel with. There's enough pocket space in the accessory side for games, styli, a rumble pack, earbuds, and a cleaning cloth - which is what I usually travel with. This suits me just fine. The bag has a hook-and-loop belt strap on the back to attach to your backpack or belt. I'll likely do neither, but it's nice to know that it's there. The one fault with this bag (maybe it's just mine) is that it does not handle overstuffing very well - the zipper will separate when you try to close it. It happened twice when I was testing the bag, but it easily and securely closed again when I removed the extra bulk that was causing the zipper to separate. Between that and the ugly logo (my opinion), that makes this bag more like 4 stars instead of five. It also has an attachable wide strap/lanyard that one can sling it over there shoulder or wear around neck. 2. Earbuds. Althought I really wanted the original Nintendo headphone as my sis raved about how good they sounded, these earbuds will do nicely and easily fit in my ear. These earbuds are nicely made; certainly not your standard cheap buds I've seen out there. I'm not an audiophile, but so far these earbuds sound nice and clear. No complaints from me. 3. An extra white stylus and the comfort pen grip. The comfort pen grip is definitely a plus. The NDS Lite stylus very neatly and securely slips into the comfort pen grip allowing you to use your OEM stylus and be more comfortable at the same time. Recently I've started using my Palm stylus to be able to play NDS games more comfortably, but that will now be replace with this comfort grip pen. This is a definite plus and made me all the more happy with my purchase. 4. Car charger. I really don't know how often I'll really use this, but it's nice to have anyway. It keeps my options open. The back end of the charger glows blue when plugged in. 5. Screen protector and soft card. I already have a screen protector on my NDS Lite, so these will serve to replace them when the time comes. Soft card is for smoothing out the screen protector during installation. 6. Screen cleaner with bonus cartridge holder and wrist strap. The wrist strap was a disappointment. I was hoping for a decent wriststrap I can secure to the NDS Lite that I can wear during game play to avoid accidental droppage. This wrist strap will not fit my needs. It's not very long and barely fits over my skinny wrists. I don't see how the practicality of it. However the other items will come in handy. I'll likely keep a soft cloth inside the cartridge holder. 7. Game case. No frills here. Nice silicone fitted interior; sturdy plastic exterior. Comes an extra silicone insert for GBA games (or for rumble pack). The game case also has spots for extra styli - one for NDS Lite, one for the smaller original NDS stylus. Overall, I'm very please with my purchase at this kit will suit my needs very well. I got what I needed and it looks handsome. So far I'm happy with the quality and the great price I got this whole kit for. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VALUE to protect your DS Lite! The value offered in this package is phenomenal! The case alone is worth more than the entire price of the kit! The DS Lite Case: Well-padded (very well-made, quality materials) with two SEPARATE compartments to hold your DS Lite and accessories without crowding or squashing! A little crowded if you want to carry everything--but will accomodate a game, power adaptor (car OR home, not both), the stylus holder, and earphones. The included neck strap is also great--substantial. It cannot slip off the case untintentionally. The earphones: Work great, but tend to slip out of your ear easily if you're not careful of the cord. The game case: Solid, hard shell, and well made. Game is securely held along with an extra sylus if you so choose. The stylus: An exact match for the one that comes with the Nintendo DS Lite. A VERY BIG BONUS: The stylus holder--great for smaller hands or arthritic fingers! The original stylus fits right inside it--with just the tip extended. Kind of like a ballpoint pen. Easy to get the stylus in and out. Great to prevent hand fatigue! The Screen Protectors: Go on easily and the touch screen functions well with the protector--a good value. Car Power Adaptor: Haven't tried it yet, but will soon on my next road trip. Another extra bonus--One Game Case with screen cleaner: Great little touch and easily fits in the case with other accessories. Getting these items separately is a HUGE expense, and the case is impossible to match! All-in-all, THIS IS A TERRIFIC VALUE if you want to protect your DS Lite, the game cartridges, and use them away home, or on the go. I had originally ordered the pro gamers kit, which included an aluminum case (bulky and smelled of oil--no kidding), and the Airform Leather Case for NDS Lite Nitendo Console + Crystal Clear LCD Protector with Cleaning Cloth sold by Best Price Center. All of those are grossly inadequate and cheaply made. I returned them all and ordered this kit. I say again, with much emphasis: THE CASE IN THIS KIT IS VERY WELL-MADE, AND THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT! Don't even bother with another case. Get this one and don't be disappointed! Close, but no cigar This is a cool case...and it would be even cooler if it actually HELD everything it claims it does. You can pack some of the game cases, and the wires and chargers, but if you do...there is no room for the game console itself. And there is no way the car charger fits in it unless it is completely empty. Nice construction...but was a disappointment. The gadgets are nice...but now we have to find case to hold it all! Save your money, skip the "kit" and just get the empty case. The console fits nicely, and the games will slip in the other side, no problem.
