Another Gaming Man-Purse, Girl!
Not being able to read Japanese, I’m not really sure how this is being marketed, or even what it’s exactly for, but as it is on a site called Game Watch, one can safely assume it’s a game system holder. The choice to have a headless male model featuring a pink flowered bag that clearly says “GIRL” on it certainly promotes the idea that the Japanese are much more open minded about carrying man-purses than here in the States. I was trying to imagine carrying one of those around in one of our less enlightened middle American states…the mind reels.

Other stuff like this: girl, man purse
The name is “Stylist Case DS Lite”, and it’s described as “oriented to girls” (女性向け). It’s from Keys Factory, and here’s the tech info:
* Price: 2200 yen (about $19USD)
* Size: 17cm tall x 11cm side x 4.5cm thick
* Weight: 123g
* Accessories: shoulder belt (as seen on pictures, it’s actually a “two-way belt”; you can tie it to the waist)
* Colors: gold, pink
* Officially licensed Nintendo product
It has a small pocket for the touch pen and “other small things” (eyemarker anyone?). The official site clearly markets the thing to girls. The guy pics apparently came from gamewatch, and I love gamewatch more now.
You can buy the case for $16.90USD, plus $4.70 shipping, from play-asia: pink/black, gold/white.
