I don't see why DX is ABOVE the Ghost shells. DX quality is obviously far less than the Ghost, Ghost shells were the next best to OEM before the CoolMods shells were released. I'll sticky anyway =P

ghost shells crack next to buttons, pen slot, and top parts of shell, plus dosnt have nintendos new hinge

Dx dosnt have any of thoses probs, just installing it is a challange, but so the same with ghost shells led indactor

as for coolmods, I have new clue how there shells are, so I can say anything about it

Thanks for sticking :#1:, the reason why I have dx above ghost is that I haven't tried Ghost shells to test out their quality yet so I'm going with the reviews and such.

accutally the only problem I've had with the DX shells is the trigger buttons not working

Thanks for sticking :#1:, the reason why I have dx above ghost is that I haven't tried Ghost shells to test out their quality yet so I'm going with the reviews and such.

I was looking on those sites, but none sell a legit looking Pikachu DS Case.  You think eBay is a good resort?

if you use ebay a lot you would probably notice most of the sellers get their stuff from dealextreme, so in essence you are paying more for the same thing.  I don't see why you can't get a non-legit pikachu case, it's made out of same stuff and used the same process to make it.

I want a legit looking one, not a legit one.  Also, the one of dealextreme doesn't look real.  The bottom-right hand corner pikachu is white when it's suppose to be a faint yellow.

I never noticed that before. I think you should post that in the discussions part of the page and see if it's not camera glare.  Dealextreme is not very good and taking pictures.  Who knows maybe they fixed it and they just haven't updated the picture.
