Unofficial Cases For Gp2x

[palmtastic]

I am still waiting for the arrival of my gp2x mkII.

Just wonder if there is any good carry case besides the official one by GPH.

Anyone care to share?

Thanks!

I heard that some specific DS cases are quite good for the GP2X... someone can probably name an exact brand/case, but I can't.

I use my trusy old GBA case, the kind they seem to no longer make ...

...a shoebox lined with sandpaper.

I use the GP32 case, AstonishiaStoryR. It fits perfectly with the exception of the plastic envelope, which was always awkward even for the GP32.

You could always use your trusty boxers! If anyone's gonna steal it, you'll know...instantly...

the official gp2x case is not very good once you try and start fitting everything in... usb cable, more batteries, Tv out cable.. etc.

some kind of video camera case would be good... big, can fit gp2x and everything you want in it, usb cable, tv out cables, loads of batteries, charger, AC adapter, breakout box, headphones, etc.

it doesn't even really accept extra AA batteries. and if you put them in the mesh pocket, you have to close the case with the open front end tilted down so they don't mash against the stick.

i was using the PSP sleeve (the one that comes with the unit) that a friend found in an apartment lounge 'free pile' before i got the Official case..

I use this exact case:

same color and all. It works great as it holds the 2x, batteries, clothe, and my 4 SD cards (all of which are kept in a special keychain SD case that clips shut B) )

Yeah I bet a camera bag would be perfect for the 2x and all the accessories.

I bought the official case when I purchased my unit thinking I could carry my TVout cable/sdcards/extra batteries in the top compartment as well.......yup I was completely wrong about that

At present I'm using a GBA SP Travel Case I got on amazon.com last year.

GBA SP TRAVEL CASE

I was dissapointed when I got it because I thought it was a hip model w/o additional storage. When I got it It looked more NDS sized w/2 loops for a gba and carts in the bottom of the case. Since I had a gba and a supercard it was just too big/unwieldy for everyday carrying. So it got thrown into my electronics/game stuff drawer and was forgotten.

However, For travelling with my GP2X its ideal. The GP2x slips right into the elastics on the bottom covered by a microfibre cleaning cloth. In the top nylon mesh zippered compartment I carry 2 sets of extra batteries/a 6 SD card zippered case (3.00 at walmart)/Sony Earbuds/and my 3.00 Card Reader/thumb drive. In the space betwen the unit/cleaning cloth and the nylon pocket I carry a 12' RCA Cable /svideo adapter/Tvout cable-all connected and spooled/ the tyed with a velcro computer cable organizer. Its a wee bit tight when zipping and feels like a brick when closed; but I got all my gear on the road.

For everyday carrying, Im using a Handspring Visor Neoprene slip case I got with a lot of broken visors on ebay; when I was building a few units for coworkers several years ago.

Handspring Visor Neoprene Slip Case

It was a tight fit at first, but since the neoprene is stretchy and closes w/velcro its workable and its got a belt loop- I found the unit slips down into it nicely with the joystick exposed when the flap is open, and the velcro flap folds over and protects that. I cut an oversized hole in the side so I could attatch headphones when closed and accomodate the earphone flap. Its reasonably water shedding, has a belt loop and takes alot of beating. I could do with out the blaze yellow though. :rolleyes:

I use a Nintendo DS strap case. Very nice It has rrom for all the necesseties. But I mainly just carry my GP2X and some extra batteries. It has a nice long strap that I put around my shoulder and carry it that way.

YEAH I carry it around like a fanboy and proud of it I carry that thing everywhere, with my DS or PSP depending on how long a trip Im taking.

Couldn't find a picture of it but o well you get the idea.

Shoebox and sandpaper is 10x cheaper than all your solutions.

Yep, I'm using my 'Thrustmaster' GBA case *pelvic thrust*

HOLY CRAP!!! thats the same case i use except mine is all black.

I use a Nintendo DS case I got cheap from GAME. It has room for spare batteries and headphones and even a GP2X

 

[kardasan]

I use two cases:
* One made for DS which looks nice and you can put your gp2x along with set of 4 spare batteries, SD card and USB cable but the cases's schackle is untrustworthy. Fortunately the belt mount is durable enough.
* my hip-bag which is more comfortable and you can put way more into it but looks very... strange

My DS case cost 50p.

Play-Asia was out of GP2X cases so...

I will use either my 'official' GBA case, or my dollar store GBA case, whichever one works better. Both are grey. The 'official' one has a zip pouch for accessories and a velcro pouch for the console. The dollar store one has a mesh compartment for accessories and the whole thing zips up.
