Peanuts Lite Slipon Socks Pouch Picture & Review

Over a week or 2 ago I highlighted this cute Peanuts Lite Slipon Socks Pouch which I recommended for those that love snoopy. Well, I received my sock yesterday and frankly, I am disappointed.

The pouch is not elastic. Its made out of some crappy cloth which stays in shape. Thats ok with me but the problem arises when I try to slot in my DS. The pouch won't fit! The mouth of the pouch requires 3 minutes of coaxing and gentle pushing at the right position to get the DS in. Once its in, you will see that the pouch does only one thing. Cover your DS. Nothing else. No protection. No nothing.

Now, you figure you might want to put on a hard cover or something to give it shock protection. Right? WRONG! Like I said, the pouch won't fit anything else except for the DS. So don't bother. This Pouch is a novelty product. You buy it for the design. And that's it. I would recommend against buying this if you are looking for protection for your NDS.

Review: New Style PSP Pouch (Monotone)

2 Weeks after getting my PSP Silver and 1 week after total silence on Aww Snapped! It is about time I introduce you to the new member of my PSP family. the New Style PSP Pouch! This pouch is an "official" product from Sony. Which means that they have the right to charge you extra just for being "official"

Slick & Slim

Costing at a whooping US$ 19.90 for a simple pouch, this pouch has better be good. And to be frank, I have yet to find fault with it. Except for one minor problem which I will highlight later. The pouch has a soft linen & plastic cover which protects the inside from spill, but do not expect your PSP to survive in this bag if it drops into water. Simple spill, yes. Swimming, no.

Spacious space for PSP Slim or Phat

With the thin size of the pouch, the protection provided against shock is limited at best. Granted they did try their best by putting in soft sponge inside the pouch, but surviving from even a 1 feet drop is a no go. The padding is merely there to protect against minor bang and shock when the pouch is left inside your bag while you bounce around doing your thing.

Dual Compartment for accessories

There are two small compartment inside the pouch, one for UMD while the other one for your minor accessories such as cloth, earphone and what not. Designed to be slim and modern, this pouch gives a spacious area for your PSP to breath without scratching against things. Granted the two compartment might be too little for some but on further thought, I would say anything more than 2 would be too much for the pouch.

Great Breathing room for PSP

Conclusion: Overall this pouch is good looking and provide sufficient padding for your PSP as long as you do not drop it. The two compartment is not too big and is a good add-on for you to leave one or two of your accessories inside. There are 5 colours available for your choosing.

Grey, Blue, Green, Pink & Purple (Click each colour for more PICTURES & PURCHASE information)

Bag of Elegance, Louis Vutton for NDSL

With that kind of name, you know that things can either go horribly wrong or extremely good. Bag of Elegance, I mean, come on. Elegance? Why not Pouch of the king! Pouch of elegant. And a gold stylus! When does gold become elegance? Last time I remember, Gold means bling bling! Bling bling is not elegance!

Regardless, They, Pebble Entertainment did manage to get some of their design rights out of over seven design. I have never heard of Pebble Entertainment so I will assume that they are new comers to this scene. One of the few designs I like from them from their "Bag of Elegance" is the Fox version of Bag of Elegance. The design reminds me of LV design. No not Level Design you dorks, Louis Vutton! ( Did i spell that right? )

Fox's Bag of Elegance



and also the Graphite version of Bag of Elegance


They also included a Gold Stylus with all Elegance bag bought. Check out the BLING BLING!

Review: Pocket Book DS Lite

Well then, about time I reviewed the Pocket Book DS Lite (orange). No? I received the Pocket Book back in September 18, 2007 and promised to review it. Well, 2 weeks down the road and I finally got my ass down in front of my laptop to review it. Anyway, enough chit chat and on with the main course

The Pocket book is a very nice looking pouch, its half leather and half jean cloth. both are stiff and hard to the touch but the inside are leather wrapped and nice to the feel. The pocket book gives a feel that you are holding a small diary that people used to use before the appearance of PDA or Cell phone :P. Granted, this makes it that when you are playing your NDSL with the pocket book while taking the tram will make you look scholarly and high class. ( we all wanna pretend for the chick across from us don't we?

The inside of the pocket book though is a bit disheartening for black or dark blue NDSL user. As you can see from the picture, the pocket book stick onto the bottom of your NDSL. This leaves the flap hanging then your NDSL is open with no protection or wrapping on the top of your NDSL, and as all Black or Blue NDSL user knows, this will leave your NDSL prone to finger print and what not.

The strap that binds the pocket book is also feels a bit hard. ( if you know what I mean) The button on the strap, straps and lock the pocket book tight. But they added this other feature where you can pull out the strap or keep it back in to make the NDSL being bound tight or less tight. I have no idea why they do that now but I hope I will find out the reason in the future.


As mentioned earlier, the bottom of the pocket book is adorned with two very small looking cello tape thingy to allow the pocket book to stick onto the NDSL. I have been told that the tape is strong and are made of very good quality. Interesting but I still don't like it.

Conclusion:

All in all, the pocket book ds lite is a very stylish casing for your NDSL. If you are using any NDSL but blue and black then this is a very good protection/fashion accessories . But if you are using black and blue and know the hardship of wiping clean your bodily cell or dust from your NDSL, you might want to think twice about purchasing this. What about protection you say? Well, this is a leather cover. not a pouch. The protection on the side are minimum. But who needs protection when you can look cool!

Pocket Book DS Lite

Last saturday a package arrived at my address. It was a surprise that the item arrived in 5 days to my place as my experience was between 10 to 21 days for the package from Play-Asia to arrive. Anyway, I was practically jumping out of my seat trying my best to calm down before i unveil the glorious Pocket Book DS lite. Never mind that the box is dented as you can see below as I believe it will take a huge amount of trashing to really hurt the package inside.



So I gently cut the box opened and pull out the box. Boy does it look great. The packaging is like any other but the color shines out of it. Its as if its begging to be used. To be touched! To be savoured! ( ok i am scaring myself here )

Anyway, to cut the story short I took out the Pocket book and was hit with a wave of amazement and realism. The Pocket book is perfect and great. The leather is hard and looks original ( i do not know how to differentiate between real or fake leather ) The orange covering was made out of jeans material cloth and are quite hard. which will provide a good cover for the NDSL

Below are some of the pictures that I took for it. I would try to put up a review of it but as of now my brain has been declining in creativity cell.

Reviewed: Stationary Style Set DS Lite

Stationary Style Set DS Lite

I purchased this over 2 weeks ago out of whim and the need to satisfy my itchy finger. It was supposed to dual as a cover for Pocket Book DS Lite (orange) but apparently the Pocket Book ran out of stock before it even had stock! ( i suspect foul play) Anyway, I took a number of picture of the Stationary Style Set and surprisingly enough. I like it.

Ok I can see the twinge of skepticisms on your eye. The thing is this, the Stationary Style Set DS Lite had been on sale since December last year and it is still on sale now. So there must be something wrong with it. Correct? I can see the problem with people not buying this Stationary Style Set DS Lite is due to the lack of pictures of the set. ( Which I will remedy with all the pictures at the bottom. Anyway, to get the short review going. I would start off with the material of the Pouch and work my way through to the whole shebang.

Stationary Style Set DS Lite - Pouch

The pouch is made out of jean like material which gives it a firm and strong feeling. The inside of the pouch is padded with thin layer of sponge which does not really give it much of a protection but does well to prevent scratch. The outer layer of the pouch is laced with an outer pocket held together by those stick on thingy. ( I have no idea what its call and its hairy and cling on to each other ). Inside the outer pocket, there is another built in DS game slot for two games. Which is more then enough for certain gamers. On top of that, there is also a small slot where the Stylus c an be strapped on. Talk about good thinking!







Stationary Style Set DS Lite - Stylus & Screen Cleaner

The stylus is something that everyone are familiar with. Its strong, its hard and we grow with it. Style as the conventional pencil that most people are familiar with, the 6 edged Hexagon pencil gives the user ( which is me ) a very good feeling. Granted it looks clumsy and feel clumsy when playing games that require fast movement. But the Pencil Stylus is large and long enough for user that have big palm ( again, me ). Its comfortable and nice although at times you can't really see the screen considering that the stylus blocks off part of the bottom screen. That said, I would not trade of this stylus for anything else as it is VERY comfortable and Nice.

The screen cleaner is something new. Designed to look like a Eraser, the screen cleaner is large and gives the user good grip to clean off the screen. It also provides a good range when cleaning the screen. What this Screen cleaner does right though is in the way its design. A spring strap is incorporated into the design to enable the user to move the screen cleaner anyway they want while allowing the screen cleaner to be strapped onto the back of your NDSL. Nice move if you ask me.


Stationary Style Set DS Lite - Conclusion

All in all, the conclusion is that, Stationary Style Set DS Lite which is sensibly priced at USD 12.90 ( RM 45.67 ) is a good buy. The Pouch is thin and does not take up much space, the stylus is comfortable and the screen cleaner is pratical. Although, if you are looking for a sturdy protection pouch, I would give this a pass as the cushioning is not thick enough. I manage to solve this problem by putting my NDSL in a Crystal Casing and then using the pouch. This is a good compromise considering that the casing protects the NDSL and the Pouch protects the Casing without taking a huge space.

Nintendo DS Lite Brain Age 2 Bundle - 110V

Well what do you know.. The Brain Age 2 Bundle is finally out. And at quite a reasonable price too. Retailling at US 199.90, thats RM 703.55 for malaysian, the price of the whole special bundle is reasonable. In fact, looking at the included accesoric and colour combination, I dare say that this set is a steal. Let's do a simple calculation

Brain Age 2 Game = RM 150

Leather Pouch = RM 55

Limited Edition NDSL = RM 500

Bear in mind that i am using this as an example of the pricing only

If I were to calculate it ala Sungai Wang or Retailer pricing, this is what we will get

Brain Age 2 Game = RM 160

Leather Pouch = RM 70

LIMITED Edition NDSL = RM 700

Thats easily RM 930, so if you wanted to get an NDSL, I would suggest getting it now, and this bundle is worth every penny

Zelda: Minish Cap

Well what do you know, my wish was granted! Two month ago, I made a post about the Zelda Minish Cap figurine, complaining about the lack of stock for that particular model. ( read it HERE )

Two months down the road, and The Legend of Zelda Minish Cap Figure Gashapon walla! its available again!

Information and purchase can be found HERE

Edit: Title edited. Wrong name :( It was Cap not Cup. Thankz to Zeldafan

Zelda

Call your self a fan of Zelda?

No self respecting Self portrayed Zelda Fan would be caught dead without a Zelda item somewhere on their body. I would really ( really ) like to get one of this


But the said item was sold out 2 years ago around 2005. So meh.. I guess I will make do with either a

Touch Pen Knock Metal (The Legend of Zelda) from Tomy

or

The Legend of Zelda Fabric Case (green) from Sanei

or

The Legend of Zelda Fabric Case (blue) from Sanei

I have no idea how those looks but meh. Anything Zeldish would do well in my dictionary
I do hope they will make a keychain or phone strap thingy of Zelda again. Those on top really really look nice..

For those that have been too out of touch with gaming world, a The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass english version is expected to be out by August this year. Currently the japanese version called er... The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is already out in the market. I would suggest waiting for the english version if you can't really read japanese as Zelda games can be categorized under ARPG which means it involves puzzle solving and some reading.
