 More is Not Better -- Think Twice Before Buying/Giving Dec 28, 2009
By C. Mitchell
"Working Mom with Active Children"
If you take a close look at most of the reviews, you'll notice that most were written by people who reviewed based on their first gut reaction after receiving the starter kit or those who gave the kit as a gift. Well, I am reviewing it as an actual user of the kit. While there are certainly useful items in the kit, I would caution buyers to think twice before buying the entire kit because of the risk of lowering game console's performance and voiding the Nintendo warranty.
Here's my review for the components:
1. Headphones -- These reminds me of the semi-disposable headphones you get on the airplane. In fact, the way to "adjust" the length of the ear bud cords is to pull apart the ear buds like you do with those semi-disposable headphones, permanently splitting the main cord into two for as far down as you want. The ear buds are not cushioned and are not terribly comfortable. That said, you're probably not buying this kit for the headphones so it's not a deal breaker in my mind.
2. Audio Splitter -- I can't figure out when one would need to use this. For multi-player games, wouldn't each person have their own console and thus, needing their own earphones plugged to their own game console? I can understand the the need for an audio splitter for Nintendo DSi to use its music player function.
3. Neck Strap -- Nice to have. I personally don't wear the game/case around my neck.
4. Car Adapter -- For those constantly on the go who need to charge their Nintendo while they're driving or flying.
5. Docking Station -- Totally unnecessary. Looks neat, I guess, on a table.
6. Soft Protective Case -- First of all, I wouldn't call the case soft like neoprene soft. It's semi-hard, which is a good thing. The design would have been better if it had included a zipper compartment for accessories instead of a mash/elastic holder. It is a compact case. Mine feels stuffed holding the console, an extra stylus, the charger, and earphones. Good quality.
7. Finger-tip styluses -- These sounds fun/interesting as a concept, as an alternative to using the pen-shape stylus. There are two major problems though. The first is that the elastic strap isn't adjustable so it might not stay on your finger tightly enough to offer you good control over movements on the screen. Second, this is not an Nintendo licensed/sold accessory. You risk voiding your game unit's warranty if you use these finger-tip stylus on the touchscreen.
8. Screen Protectors -- The product description said I'd get 5 protectors but I am pretty sure I got 4. Regardless, this is one accessory that I would caution people NOT to use. The application instructions are unclear/confusing but it's not too difficult to figure out how to apply the protectors. You just need to be patient, have clean fingers, and apply them in a lint-free environment. The bigger problem is that if you apply these protectors, you will reduce the sensitivity of the touch screen. Mine was on airtight (no bubbles) but I found myself having to press the screen so much harder with the stylus to play a game. Had I continue to use my game unit with these screen protectors, I would have had a higher risk of getting repetitive motion injury. To show you how hard I had to press to get the screen to respond, I saw many light scratches on the screen protector after just 6 hours of playing; the pressure also made slight weird air pockets between the protector and the screen even though I had made an airtight application. Thankfully, I was able to remove the protectors without damaging the screens themselves and without leaving a sticky residue.
Although screen protectors sound good as a concept, I have read somewhere that Nintendo really went out of their way to coat/produce an excellent touch screen so that it is responsive and can withstand substantial playing (with Nintendo produced stylus). Once again, keep in mind that the protectors are not Nintendo licensed so if you apply them to your unit and end up damaging the screen somehow, your warranty is void.
I bought this kit for $19.99. Should have just gotten the Nintendo official zip case for $9.99 on Amazon. Sometimes, more is not better.

 Fits perfectly in your purse, Ladies! Mar 22, 2009
By 2Wanna
The compact, yet functional size of the case (approx. 6 x 3.75 x 1.5) allows me to drop it in my purse and have my DS Lite on hand at all times for any unexpected down-time...ex. waiting around while having your car serviced. The cobalt blue color makes it stylish and I have found the case to be very durable and well made.
I like the idea of the individual game holders and although the kit comes with four of them, there is room to fit 6 games in the case along with the headphones. This might be a tight fit for some, but again, I'm not wanting to accomodate a carry-on sized bag just to carry around my DS.
The extras that come with the starter kit are "nice to haves". The stand charger has a really cool blue glowing light when plugged in and is not at all flimsy. I would highly recommend this starter kit for Adult DS Lite owners such as myself.

 Great for little girls May 26, 2009
By Morgan J. Elwood
"Morgan J Elwood"
I bought this item for my little girl and she loves it and is a great started kit for the DS. The case is semi hard and will help with those hard drops to the ground. The charging dock is a good place for the "where it goes when your done" the car charger and ear peices are needed for those long trips in the car, so it keeps them busy and cuts out the noise. This also comes with protective covers for the screens. All and all good buy.

 Not worth the money Jun 14, 2009
By Shane
I don't recommend this package. Most of the parts in it are very cheaply made. The screen protectors do not stick well to the screen, leaving bubble areas. One of the headphones broke when I simply pulled it out of the plastic packaging. The case is so small that you can only put the DS and a few games in it, nothing else. I wish I would have spent the money to get quality parts separately instead of wasting my money on this.

20-1 Worth It Oct 14, 2009
By T. Cornelius
The 20-1 starter kit was perfect for my daughter. She was able to organize her games and charger without any problems. Even though we have not used the car charger, its nice to know its there. The extra stylus are great because she loses things easily. Don't worry about choosing any color because it really does not matter.
