This is an awesome cover. The DS can be played without removing it. It is really solid and well-made. The corners on the plastic insert are the weakest point and it didn't take long before these were split. This means the DS is not as secure as it could be. I bought two of these when they were on special and will be keeping my eye out for others when they come up.

This case is so handy! It has an insert that can be used for either Nintendo DS Lite or a Nintendo DSi. It's design makes it so easy to just open and play, with easy access to the stylus holder and a magnetic closure. I only wish that it came in pink, so I could have one for myself!
