bit-tech Shopping: ALS Industries CARRY CASE NGC22

Rating: 10

Time with product: 2 Weeks

Strengths: Compact, holds the complete system, plus several games.

Weaknesses: Console cannot be used inside of case, no game disc storage pockets.

Summary: This case is small, but you can pack a bunch of stuff in it. On the last few outings to grandparents, we have managed to fit: GameCube console, GameBoy Player (attached to console), power cords, two controllers, and 3 games in their original cases. If we had taken the games out of the cases and put them in sleeves, we probably could have fit in another controller, and more games. The downside of this case is that the console does have to be removed to be used. There are no vents to allow air access, nor are there openings for cords to feed through. This was fine with us, we needed it for transport only. One other thing I might mention is that some cases have slots for the game discs to be stored in, this one does not have that feature, so you either need to leave the discs in their cases, or provide some protection so they won't be damaged. Personally, we would rather just keep the games in their cases and only take what we need for the specific trip we are going on. We purchased this for trips, and not for regular, at-home storage of the unit and accessories. It is well-padded and has an adjustable shoulder strap for easy carrying. We are very pleased with this case. Takes up very little room, while still holding a lot of items.
