Review: WaterField Designs DSi Suede Jacket

WaterField Designs DSi Suede Jacket
Manufacturer: WaterField Designs
Site: Buy from Waterfield Designs
Price: $11.00 (no pocket) / $15 (with pocket)


Overview : As recommended by Mario and Zelda to revolutionize your DSi. From Yoshi's Island to Castlevania, our compact and protective Nintendo DSi Cases hold it all.

The DSi Suede Jacket is a minimalist form-fitting case made from soft, washable Ultrasuede® that protects the DSi from bumps and scratches. It can also double as a screen cleaner.

Features:

• 5.5" x 2.95" x 0.75"

Quality/Usability : Having tried and reviewing the WaterField Designs Suede Jacket Cell Phone Case, I had to try out the DSi Suede Jacket.

Just like the cellphone jacket, the case was very smooth and soft to the touch. The DSi Suede Jacket leaves no room for movement but at the same time, its not too tight where its a pain to get the DSi into and out. The thin suede material is soft and also acts as a gentle screen cleaner. Don't expect the DSi Suede Jacket to protect your DSi from drops or anything. However, it will protect your DSi from your keys or loose change in your pants pocket or purse.

Like all Waterfield Designs products, it's extremely sturdy and well-built. You wont find any loose strings or anything coming apart. I have been using my WaterField Designs DS Lite Case (now available for DSi) for the past 3 years and it still looks new.

For an additional charge of $4, you can add a pocket. The pocket is sewed onto the suede and is made of neoprene/spandex type material. This pocket stretches and allows you to insert your games, memory cards, headset and spare stylus. You can even use this pocket to store your credit card, IDs, money and other items...pretty much anything you can think of that is small enough to fit.

Conclusion : Overall, the WaterField Designs DSi Suede Jacket. Unlike the suede made from animals, this suede is 100% spot and machine washable. It would be nice if WaterField Designs included a drawstring on the opening and can be used as a universal case for other cellphones, accessories or other electronics like MP3.
