This shell is the right size for NDS Lite. The console does not swim in, and the holes to access the different switches / ports are also the right size. Small problem: the triggers. If you have the misfortune of dropping your valuable DS Lite on one of the triggers, the hull will not be of any help because it does not protect them. Moreover, it does not seem thick enough to be effective in a high fall. It is a shell that can be effective for a basic protection / average, while letting appear the color of your console!
