Pros: The pros are as follows:
I unwrapped this housing and found that it came well packaged and had no scratches or damage to it.
Quality wise, it looked just as good as the original housing that it is replacing but has the added bonus of being clear.
I didn't need to sand, modify or cut anything in this case to make it fit well. It fit great right out of the box.
Cons: The cons are as follows:
NONE
You read that right, the only issue is that replacing the housing is a very tedious job but this has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
Other Thoughts: Make sure you get the screws in all the way or you might get some squeeking.
Make sure when you insert the screws, turn it in a bit, back it off and then turn it in more etc. This will help the screws set in the plastic better and there will be less chance of stripping the plastic.
Make sure to try and do a clean job (wiping fingerprints, routing cables and lining up tape etc.) because you will be able to see everything after its complete.
Bottomline: Wicked buy and a wicked case.
I am one happy DX'r
Nice and haven't seen it anywhere before!

Pros: It's nice, and haven not seen it anywhere else in my country or other country's
It looks like a legit nintendo cover since it has all the names, copyrights and such on it so it won't look el cheapo ;)
It doesn't get scratches on it that easy, wich I thought at the beginning.
Cons: You really need to know how do dissamble and assemble your nintendo DS, cause that's what you gotta do, dissasemble all of it, and then put it back together, all this without any explenation, it comes in a white carton box, without any explenation. Not that I mind, but I guess for younger people who just want the nice covers, it will be hard to put it back together again, the assembly is harder then disassembling it ;)
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Good, cheap, proper build quality, I think if you are looking for a new cover, don't go for different colors or such, I think this translucent housing gives your nintendo DS more of a nice touch!
fits great, well built

Pros: Fits well without modification
100% Replacement
Printed bottom like original
Screws, case, stylus, stylus well included.
Price
Cons: Hard to install, nature of project
Doesn't have hinge (use one from original case)
Stylus tip not softened
clear buttons hard to see
White frames for screens
Other Thoughts: Great case at a great price, I wanted to replace a cracked hinge and get a better look. Didn't like the buttons so I switched the white ones back in, and wasn't careful, broke the power switch, my fault, be VERY careful with that power switch.
Bottomline: If you have anything not right about your case and need a replacement, get this one, great look, fit, durable, and cheap :).
It Is Really Nice

Pros: It's exactly like the cover thats origional around the DS. Even the specs on the back were perfectly.
I went searching diferent web site's, but at last I found a site, withs helped me to put it around my DS.
I realy like my DS now... It is soooo cool!!!!
Cons: It isn't easy to put it around your DS. If you don't do it the right way you will get a not finished result... some part may not fit correctly then. It is a time consuming thing, and you have to have a lot of patience. it took me 4 houres to put it all together
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: It's a cheap but cool thing for your DS. I realy like the look of it now. now i finally know the inside of my DS. I can see it while I'm gaming.
