For DS owners, one of the biggest caveats for the system are the tiny games. Using small cards instead of proper cartridges, the system’s games are very small and for some DS gamers, easily lost or broken. Fortunately, Penguin United has come up with an effective solution for gamers that are prone to losing their game cards with their 24X DS Game Pouch.

The pouch is a great way to keep your game cards safe when you’re traveling or at home, with a snug design and slim form-factor, as well as a sturdy build. While the pouch is exclusive for holding games, it’s still an easy and cheap way to keep your games safe.

The official features from the Web site read as follows:

• Fits up to 24 games! The only game card holder for serious ds gamer.

• Transparent Inner Pages for full view of your games collection.

• Fit 6 Nintendo DS game cards per page, with 4 inner pages to fit up to 24 games.

• Make of Premium Material - Not from real leather so no animal was harmed.

Using the pouch is simple, simply slide in your cards to the sleeves and you’ve done it. The sleeves are pretty tight, but insure that your games won’t get loose and shuffle around in the case.

The 24X DS Game Pouch does essentially what it sets out to do; it stores your DS games and keeps them safe from harm. The pouch is solidly built and withstood some torture tests and extensive use (Christmas with the relatives).

As far as storage goes, the pouch holds 24 games without bulking up a ton, making it very slim even while full. The pouch looks like a trading card holder, and opens up like a book, and zips up to stay pretty snug.

The 24X DS Game Pouch comes in four different colors: light blue, pink, dark blue, and a red and black theme. Each of the different colors carries the Penguin United penguin logo/mascot.

At $14.99, the 24X DS Game Pouch is a cheap and easy way to store your DS cards without taking up a lot of room. While it would’ve been even better if the pouch had a way of holding the actual DS system or perhaps some accessories like styluses or AC Adapters with the cards, this is still a great way to keep your DS games safe.

Pros:
Only $14.99, holds 24 games, very sturdy yet slim and easily stored build.

Cons:
Doesn’t hold the DS or DS Lite systems or any extra accessories.

Overall: 9.0
A cheap and easy way to store DS games, Penguin’s 24X DS Game Pouch does a fine job of holding all of your DS carts and keeping them save.
