can't wait for this to come out

i would have paid an extra $50 if my gba sp was made of brushed aluminum too bad

that is sweet! when does it come out?

Don't give Nintendo any idea!

Looks good but what else can it hold?

when does it comes on and how much is retail for the case?

ign gear did not give the case a very favorable review....

what's the link to the article?

Here's the link (scroll down to Case) - http://gear.ign.com/articles/391/391434p1.html

I was thinking of picking this up until I read how "cheap" it felt. It certainly doesn't look that way. Oh well.

thanks for the link. i probably won't buy it either.

Here's the text from the review, in case anyone's to lazy to click over

Case

"It seemed odd to me that anyone could screw up a simple case. I mean, use a strong material and some decent hinges and you're set. Mad Catz used a thin but effective metal for the actual case and it works well. It is lightweight and provides ample protection. However, the hinges and clasp are both unbelievably shoddy. A good tug will rip the thing in half, but that could be avoided. The hinge, though, barely stays shut on its own. One look at the design told me that this wasn't a defective unit. There's simply not enough "clasp" in the clasp. In fact, you don't even have to use it to open the case. Just pull the two halves in opposite directions and you're set. Thankfully, the interior is nicely made. A dense foam keeps the SP and three games safely in place."

Yuck. Ther only nice SP case I've seen so far (and will probably buy this week) is a simple thin leatehr pouch. That's all it needs (if that!) and it keeps tyhe SP extremely portable (i.e. pocket-sized). Dunno why anyone would want a big bulky case for it, at least for daily use.

I just stuck with the free case that BB was giving away last week. It works fine.

The Best Buy case is good enough for me

I agree with William and collven, the Best Buy case is cool
