Cases force you to keep track of games
One of the best things about Nintendo DS game cartridges is their tiny size, until, that is, you lose one. That’s where the Game Chamber comes in. The cleverly designed case forces you to keep track of your games. When you remove a game from the case, you can’t take out a second game until you put another one back in. Available in pink, blue or silver, each case costs $20. Daze Products makes similar cases for Nintendo Game Boy Advance games and plans to start selling cases for other video-game system titles this year. gamechamber.com
