Video Game Reviews of 22-In-1 Deluxe Starter Kit - Black for DSi
Customer Review: Not Perfect, But Worth It
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a 22 item set of 12 different products.
THE GOOD
- Screen Protectors (x2) - 5 Stars - The main reason why I bought the kit. The material is sturdy, and were sized nicely for each screen.
I however did not get a chance to really use them, because I wasn't careful enough in keeping dust and lint away while applying the bottom screen. Twice.
If I were to do it again, I would have made the attempt in the bathroom with the door and window shut (Away from pets, drafts, carpet, and dust). It's nice that they supply two sets for people who will actually learn from the first mistake.
- Lens Protector (x2) - 5 Stars - The package says it comes with one, but mine came with two. Made from the same material as the screen protectors. The first fit perfectly, but I managed to scratch it with my nails when trying to get out drop of water. The second one was slightly too large. But despite that, it's still very nice to have something protecting the lens.
- Earphones - 4 Stars - I don't expect much when it comes to headphones that come packaged in something like this. But not only did these work, they were very comfortable. More comfortable than some earphones I've purchased in the past.
- Docking Station - 5 Stars - Very elegantly designed. The DS stands straight up, hinge side down, conveniently leaving the headphone jack exposed if you want to listen to music while it's in the stand.
A centered, blue LED indicates if it's plugged in. (Adapter not included, so you'll most likely be use that came with the DSi). There is also a clear eject button on the right, which is rather unnecessary as it is easier to just pull it out.
If you don't use a permanent skin or shell on the DSi, this is a very nice place store it.
- Car Charger - 5 Stars - The cord is just under five feet, and it does what you expect.
THE BAD
- Travel Case - 3 Stars - The case has a sturdy feel, with the Icon logo in the lower right corner, a zipper, and climber's clip (The clip is already fraying the backpack-like loop that it's attached to). The inside has two elastic straps to hold the DSi, and the other half has a cargo net to hold accessories (The width fits three of the included game cases).
The problem with the case is that is a bit too tight. It holds down the shoulder button when the DSi is in place. I prefer the DSi System Wallet where you can easily slip it in and out. And after testing the case with my brother's DS Lite, I think the case is an excellent case for that system, rather than the DSi.
If you're looking for a great case, this certainly isn't the one I'd recommend, but the kit comes with a lot of other good accessories that can be stored in it.
- Wrist Strap - 1 Star - It the exact same wrist strap that you can buy for the Wii, but without the slider to tighten it. It makes sense in that the strap it too short to be tightened while playing the DSi... but without tightening it, if you drop the DSi, the strap will very likely not help.
I suppose if I wanted to go jogging while listening to music on it, it would be some help, but then I would prefer to also have the slider to tighten it.
Overall, it is a failure in design because it lacks design. It was meant for a Wiimote, and not the DSi.
THE NON-ESSENTIAL
- Stylus (x3) - 5 Stars - Each stylus is slightly larger than then ones that come with the DSi, and have a clear tip, rather than black. The default stylus feels loose when put away, these fit more snugly. The clear tip makes it easier to see, as some of the color from the screen passes through.
You're probably not buying the kit for extra styluses, but you'll appreciate having them.
- Thumb Stylus (x3) - 4 Stars - A useful alternative that may be superior to the normal stylus in certain games (such as Mario 64 and Metroid Hunters).
Since these aren't the most common product, and it costs a lot to get a single, but seemingly better designed, Thylus, it's nice that you get three.
- Audio Splitter - 5 Stars - It does what it's supposed to do. Don't need it, but can't complain.
- Game Case (x4) - 3 Stars - If you have nowhere else to keep your games, I suppose these could be useful. Each case fits one game and one SD card.
- Cleaning Cloth - 4 Stars - It's a cloth. It reminds me of the one that game with one of my old glasses case. And it's black, to match the DSi.
CONCLUSION
Considering that I'd be willing to pay $8 for the screen protectors alone, this Starter kit is definitely worth the price, unless you're primary need is for a good case for the DSi.
