A lovely selection of DS cases for the extravagantly wealthy
Import retailer Renchi just started carrying a line of high-end, fashionable DS cases from Yoshida Porter and Head-Porter. They look pretty nice and all, but they're not for us. They're for the exclusive club of people able to spend a minimum of $85 for a DS Lite case.
We love cases, of course, but we enjoy them most when they're homemade or especially useful. We can only stare in bemusement at high-fashion status-symbol cases like these. They look okay, sure, but they don't really look that different from normal-priced cases, and in fact don't really approach the eye-catching beauty of some of Hori or Keys Factory's more design-conscious work. And the excellent Waterfield case, which is normally too expensive, seems quite thrifty compared to these. You could buy one of those and tell people it cost more.
None of this is to say that we don't appreciate Renchi for importing some unique and hard-to-find cases. We really do, even if we can't buy them! A better selection is always a good thing.
