6-Pak Care Case
Score: 85%
Developer: Nyko


Function:

Back in the old days of the GameBoy, games used to come with a nice hard plastic case to protect them from harm. Fast-forward a few years and for one reason or another (c'mon can anyone ever REALLY explain what Nintendo does sometimes?) the cases are gone and we are now given a little plastic bag. While it does protect, a baggie really isn't the most durable or effective storage medium.

Lucky for us, Nyko has seen this problem and answered it with the 6-Pak Care Case. As the name says, this handy little case is for protecting your games from dust, scratches and almost anything else that could damage them.


Performance:

So how do they stand up? While they aren't as good as the old cases, the Nyko cases are a very good investment. They are made from a hard, durable plastic that protects the cartridge from the normal wear and tear a game could go through during its life on the road. The cases slide on to the bottoms of the carts very snuggly, but require a little pressure to snap-in and pull out. As an added bonus for the anal gamer, each case is a different color so you can color code your games.

Features:
  • Convenient snap-in design
  • Easy travel
  • Protects cartridges from dirt and damage
  • Made of durable plastic
  • Works for GameBoy and GBA games

Drawbacks & Problems::

The only real problems I had with the Nyko cases were that the box was a little hard to open (I hate the plastic boxes everything seems to come in now) and that a little pressure is needed to snap the cartridges in the case. I also had a few minor problems with space when packing the games in a GBA storage bag. The cases obviously add a little more to the game and they become a little less travel size, but it's either have undamaged games or be able to carry around one more game in your GBA case - your call.
