Sweet DS Lite cases. Anyone got one?

So I'm in the market for a new DS case.
I'm starting to get a little tired of my DS Lite swimming around in the old DS case I'm using for it, and I have way too many games to fit in the weird little holder things.
I'd like something that's on the small side, but tough and high-quality, and able to hold a fuckton of DS games, and maybe one or two GBA games. I don't care about bringing the charger - the battery can hold up on its own.
Right now I'm looking at the Waterfield DS Lite case - it doesn't hold quite as many games as I'd like but it looks to be the right size and they're known to make top-notch bags. Any other suggestions welcome.

Edit: I should note that I found this at Circuit City even though it's not listed on their site - if you use Amazon.com, you don't get to choose which color you receive. Which is extremely lame.
Here's a cnet review http://reviews.cnet.com/Score_Dual_Folio_Case_for_DS_Lite/4505-6449_7-32057253.html
It holds 9DS and 9GBA games, extra stylus, and a pouch that I cram the charger and a screen cloth in. I use it for longer multi-day trips and for storage at home, the DS itself can go in my pocket for short trips. My only complaint was that the DS slots are tight at first, but getting a game in stretches them out.

Joytech Armorlite
I have the Joytech ArmorLite and I highly recommend it. It virtually no affect on the DL Lite form factor and it's pretty sturdy. It also fits nicely in my case mentioned up above without any problems.

On the same note, my wife and I both have little cases from Walmarts camera accessories section - they are designed for SD cards. They're $2 and they hold 6 DS games each.
They are great for when dragging around my full arsenal just isn't convenient.
hah, i do that too. works great.
muh.
Can I assume that you can play through the casing?

That one's out of stock, but there are other colors.
It's backordered now, but my mom's just arrived a few minutes ago and it's really nice. I'm jealous of it.
I have that one too. It's awesome, the front can hold a Lite even with a GBA game in, and the back has slots for two DS games and a stylus. The larger pocket usually holds my pen stylus and a couple GBA or DS games as well.
I also have this pouch:

Which only holds two DS games and a GBA game, but it is a little more durable than the Multi-Pouch.

I keep a crown royal bottle in my crown royal bag
I got my crown royal bag from a liquor store for free
I told the guy I don't drink, I just want the bag, and he just gave it to me

Absolutely - it has, quite literally, no change on the form factor of the DS - it's a very thin layer of acrylic and it fits snug around the DS clamshell design. Trust me, you won't know it's there.
The SD Case for DS games is a damn good idea. I never really realized how similar in size they were.
It will go incredibly well with my manly pink DS.
I keep my dice in a crown royal bag. Pretty damn good dice bag. I got mine from a guy who got a bunch from a biker.
I second LCDXX's DS case. It can indeed hold a ton of stuff. The inside pouch has a ton of slots for DS cards and there is also a little mesh pouch that will hold a few GBA games. There's a pocket on the top that I suppose is for a charger or something, but it fits my NES controller tin full of more DS carts like a glove. My only complaint is about the part of the pouch for the DS. It's a little too snug for my DS phat, but I've been trying to stretch the pocket out to fix that. (Given, I've got one of those Hori pens sticking out of the back. There's my problem!) I'm sure that a DS Lite fits perfectly. Anyway, its totes a ton of games.

Anyway have you considered getting a Slot-1 Homebrew like device, I backup my games onto one so I don't have to carry a case around or anything. Only if you trust yourself not pirating though.
Saves me from having to look for my games since they are all in the DS from the get go, but of course it is a little bit more expensive but since you can watch movies and listen to music as well as all that other good homebrew stuff then you might consider looking into it yes?
I also have another case I got from Target that I use a lot, but I can't seem to find it online. Which sucks cause it's awesome.
I may take some pictures later tonight.

Called the traveler case. It holds the DS system real securely, and in the other side, holds 4 DS games and 2 GBA games, or 8 DS games, plus an extra stylus. It seems really sturdy.. reminds me a lot of Logitech's PSP case (Playgear Pocket?)

Fantastic case. There are 8 little slots in some elastic cloth that hold your DS games, and I believe it may have come with a screen wiper too. It has another elastic band to hold the DS in and a pouch behind the games to hold other accesories (GBA games, charger, or what have you)
If you can find this for sale anywhere I highly recommend it.

I have that one too. Its a very nice balance between storage and size. I stick a tin in the accesories part so I can hold even more games. Its a pretty decent size pouch for sticking in a bag.
