Most reviewers here were writing only about the leapster and not about the case. My friend has a case. Fortunately I examined hers before buying one. I am glad I did not buy it. The case is soft and readily collapes. It is very poor quality. I wish I could give it 0 stars. The pocket which holds extra cartridges is simply a mesh pocket with an elastic band closure and it is easy for the cartridges to escape.Instead I purchased a small sturdy cosmetic case for eight bucks which works well. My friend ended up throwing hers away and buying a similiar case. Do not buy this, it is not worth the money.
