Intec UMD Case
Intec - 3 UMDs Storage Case - $4.99

These cases are cheap and simple enough- just put 3 UMDs in there, snap the case shut, and your good to go. Of course there are downsides to this plastic box, such has having to spill out the UMDs to see whats in each case, the fact that the case will likely bust open if you drop it on a hard surface, and the fact that the small raised Intec logo prevents the cases from being stacked. For the price (which includes two cases) you can't beat this, especially if you just plan to throw the case in your pocket (which is exactly as big as 3 UMDs stacked together), but there are better ways of storing multiple UMDs.

3/5



Nyko Pocket UMD Case
Nyko - 3 UMDs Storage Case - $8.99

The main reason behind cases is to have an easy way of storing games to take with you...so it baffles me that the Nyko Pocket case is, in fact, not really portable. It's pretty big and while it looks nice on a desk, that's the only real place it belongs. Dropping the case resulted in the whole thing breaking apart (but it snaps back together) and the round dome hopelessly prevents any kind of stacking. Pushing the button on the outside of the case pops open the dome, and if you are tilting the case just slightly, those UMDs are slidin out. While they include 2 cases in each bundle, it's just too big. It looks nice though, and if you only game at a desk at work or watch movies and want a desktop case holder, then this will work nicely. Just don't take it with you.

2/5
