Want something to protect your Nintendo DS Lite or DSi and an extra battery backup? There’s no all-in-one solution like the TekCase from TeknoCreations. TeknoCreations has crafted an original 2-in-1 solution for Nintendo DS Lite and DSi owners. The neat thing is it does both protecting and extending battery life in a compact way, making it ideal for long trips.
The TekCase is essentially a hard polycarbonate shell that fits around the DS Lite or the DSi. All ports for your handheld remain accessible. It doesn’t interfere with the operation of anything (like L/R buttons, DSi camera, GBA slot, SD card slot, etc.). Your DS Lite/DSi snaps into the TekCase, with no assembly required. Just pull back a USB interface port on the back of the TekCase, insert your DS Lite/DSi into the lower part of the TekCase, snap on the top portion of it and then push the TekCase USB interface into the back AC adaptor port. Your DS Lite/DSi is locked and loaded with an extra battery backup. It’s a snug fit, so take care when you place the DS Lite or DSi in it, or remove it.
The hidden wonder of the TekCase is the backup battery. Play with your DS Lite/DSi until your battery indicator on the system goes low (red). All you need to do to start recharging the DS Lite/DSi is flick the ON switch located at the side of the TekCase and your system starts to recharge. The TekCase will fully recharge your DS Lite/DSi battery. You can get about 3 times the playtime using the TekCase.
When you are ready to recharge your DS/DSi and TekCase, you can plug it into a power outlet using the included AC adapter or use a standard USB cable. Because the TekCase AC adapter was built with a USB interface in mind, you can leave your DS Lite/DSi adapter at home if you’re traveling with a laptop or have access to another computer/USB interface to charge from. Although the back USB to AC adapter interface may be the most bulky part of the TekCase, it’s functionality makes up for it. The TekCase also uses a smart charging technology. Meaning, it will recharge your DS Lite/DSi battery first, then recharge the TekCase internal battery. There are battery level and charging indicators on the left of the TekCase. That way you’ll know how much charge is left in your TekCase.
When you consider what a carrying case and extra AC adapter may cost you for the DS Lite/DSi, the TekCase comes at a comparable value at $29.99 and in a much more convenient and less-bulky package. The TekCase is smaller than most other DS Lite or DSi cases, which don’t event include a recharging system. You won’t have to worry about turning down the brightness on the DS Lite/DSi or worry about running out of battery power on long trips. The TekCase is a tough second skin you won’t want give up once you’ve been spoiled by the battery backup.
The TekCase for the DS Lite is available for a $29.99 MSRP (in Black here
or Pink here
) and will be available for the DSi for $29.99 MSRP starting June 1st (in Black here
or Pink here
).
