DS Cases
Black Zippered DS Cases
Source: Yahoo! Japan
The more rectangular one I have add for some time, and it shows up fairly often on Yahoo Japan. The one with the flap I'd not seen before and the picture was a bit small, so I asked the seller about it (to see if it was a custom modification of the other one), and they said they bought it in the Pokemon Center. That was enough for me, and after getting it I can see it's definitely a different item.
The image on these is a cool textured vinyl.
Blue Camo Pattern DS Case (Type 1)

This is pretty similar to the below, and both show copyright of 2007 so I'd guess they were both released about the same time. Most of the things featuring Dialga in a running pose are from 2009 or later, as he got new art for the movie that year.

Not much to say about this one...it's a DS case with a pretty cool design!

I had this one for a long time before adding it to the site, and I think I know why - it's hard to get a photo in this case without a reflection! Anyway, it's a nifty soft cover with two different Dialga designs on it (one in the center, and one in the background). Based on the packaging and what I've seen in stores, I suspect this was a Pokemon Center exclusive.

This DS Lite case has a sort of camouflage design to it. I almost overlooked it in the store, but viper_fox pointed it out to me, and now I don't have to get it on Yahoo Japan (for much more expensive). Thanks much!

I'm not really sure how to describe this one, but I thought the design on it was pretty striking.

I'd never seen this case before, so I was very happy to find one in excellent condition on YJ! The auction also included the "diamond pattern" game case shown below, but I'm not sure if they were originally a set or not.

A nifty zippered Dialga case. This was one of my very first Dialga DS cases, I have quite a few now!

And a third version appears! I found the image for this one on Toys n Joys a while back, and just recently found a more reputable YJ seller with it.

The small horizontal one in front here is the standard American version, but I've never seen the larger two for sale in stores here. Jedi_amara in Australia kindly picked those two up for me! The small vertical one was a more recent eBay find.
Gold Silhouette DS Game Case

I don't know a lot of other Dialga collectors to discuss rare items with, so I usually figure that if I'm seeing an item on YJ for the first time in 2 years of searching, it's either new or very rare. This one I think is just rare, as it's dated 2006, and I've never seen one anywhere. Holds 4 DS games!
Silver "Diamond" DS Game Case
ＤＳソフトケース

This case is similar to the one above, and both are probably rare Pokemon Center items from 2006. However, this one has the diamond pattern that I like so much!
There is also a matching Palkia in this set.

DS Game Case (Gachapon Version)

This tiny case (barely bigger than a DS cartridge) holds quite a few games. I have hard enough of a time keeping track of my games when they're in bigger cases, so I haven't been using this.
Pokemon Wonderland Original Card Case
ポケモンワンダーランドオリジナルカードケース
Source: fizzycat of pkmncollectors
Pokemon Wonderland is a magazine for Pokemon fans (similar to Pokemon Fan) that has information on the toys, anime, and more. I don't know much about it, but it looks like this is a bonus item that came with issue #10 (around the release of Platinum and the Team Galaxy TCG set). Take a look at this blog post for more information about the issue and packaging.
Korean Mini Binder

This TCG binder/booklet is from a Korean TCG set that I split up with viper_fox. She wanted the cards, I wanted the other Dialga things, it all worked out!
Most of the items in the set were Dialga and Palkia (this binder has Palkia on the reverse side), but there is also a Dialga TCG coin from this set.
Burger King Trading Card Case

This is from an American Pokemon Promotion (in either late 2008 or early 2009, I can't remember which) at Burger King. I actually had this one for a while but had forgotten to add it on the site, and a kind visitor pointed it out to me. Thanks!
Dialga TCG Deck Boxes

These are plastic Japanese cases to keep your TCG deck in. I've opened the one on the left, but couldn't bear to take the Spear Pillar one out of its original packaging.
The backs of these are quite different, and you can see them here.

I was very pleased to see Dialga get a second binder like the above, with awesome new art! Like his other binders, this features the same art as on the booster packs.
TCG Tournament Dialga Silhouette Card Sleeves
Source: Yahoo! Japan
Supposedly you had to win something (I don't know what) at some TCG tournament to win just 5 of these sleeves, which means you'd need to win 12 times to have enough for a full deck. Some sellers will try and sell you 5 sleeves at a time for what you'd hope to pay for a full deck, so be careful when buying sleeves from this series!
Great Encounters Ultra-Pro Binder

I bought this on eBay thinking it just had different artwork than the small binder I have from DP1, but to my surprise (and happiness) it's a full size, not a miniature! Now I have Dialga binders in both sizes, yay!
Vinyl Coin Purses

These seem to be of several different makes - the two square-ish flat ones in the middle are from the Pokemon Center (I bought them there myself), a few others look like they may be Banpresto UFO prizes, and the others I just don't know about.
I can never have too many of these. I use each one to store a different kind of Japanese coin when I go to Japan! (Just kidding.)
Metal Coin Purse

A nifty metal coin purse with a zipper along the side.
Pokemon Center Candy Jar

Is this not the most beautiful candy jar you have ever seen? Who needs diamond-cut glass when you can have Dialga with diamonds! I am very pleased to have this as part of my 'Dialga with diamonds' sub-collection.
I suspect this is a rare Pokemon Center-exclusive item from around the time of the Diamond and Pearl launch, and the release of similar containers for Black and White has helped confirm this.
Mini Sticker Box
劇場限定ミニシールケース
Source: Yahoo! Japan
This little box may not look like much, but it's one I was after for a long time. From the information I have, I think it was only sold by mail order (through a form in the 10th movie promotional book) and in the movie theaters showing the 10th movie. (Every year, at least for the last several years, the movie theater has a section with Pokemon goods for sale in the lobby during the movie run.) I kept expecting this to show up in random toy lots, but it never did...and finally, I found a lot with several of these boxes, from a few different movies, and bought it out immediately. I now have one new in package, with even his 200 yen price sticker still attached!
I've heard of these being mistaken for bento boxes, but they are far too small to be used for that - they're approximately 1 1/2" on each side, and probably are too small to even hold Retsuden or Pan stickers.
Pokemon Center Case
Source: Mbok
I first spotted this case in a large lot. I couldn't tell much about it, other than that it was the Pokemon Center's "diamond" pattern that I'm so fond of. Unfortunately, the lot looked heavy and expensive, and the seller refused to sell the case separately. I didn't want to pay over $100 for just this case, as cool as it might be, so I watched the auction get relisted several times and waited for a price drop. Some time later, the case popped up by itself on Mbok for just 800 yen, and of course I nabbed it there. This was one time I was glad I waited!
Cylindrical Container Keychain

I'm not sure what this is intended for - it's much too small to hold food or drink. Maybe medicine? Anyway, it will rest unused in my collection for now!
Bento Box

After getting outbid on a set of these that went quite high, I was able to snag a much more used set for far cheaper. There are some light scratches on it but I still think it's lovely!
This is part of a set with Giratina (larger) and Palkia (smaller).
Puchi Puchi Sticker Box
Source: Floaroma Pokemart
This little box is meant to hold tiny Puchi Puchi stickers (as can be found on my Flat Items page). Usually I'd assemble an item like this, but it looks like it'd be so fragile assembled that I've left it as is.
Cloth Drawstring Bag
Source: Yahoo! Japan
This could probably be used as a DS case, but it's a bit big and the cloth at the top is a little too thin. It's got a nice unique design, though!
Pokemon Center Drawstring Bag
Source: snowball21 of pkmncollectors
This bag is made very similar to the dice bag I have, but it's much bigger! It's got Palkia on the back, and I believe it's from an early DP (2006?) Pokemon Center promotion. I got pretty excited when I saw this among Snowball's items up for sale ^_^
Diamond and Pearl Card Collection - Part 1 Gachapon Book
Source: Yahoo! Japan
On my flats page, I describe how I got the little sticker from the gachapon machine on the first try, then thought I was done. It wasn't until months later I found out that the set not only has dozens of different stickers, but also 3 different booklets to store those in, one of which featured Dialga. Whoops! The booklet I'd received featured just the Sinnoh starter Pokemon, so I had to go and buy a set on Yahoo Auctions to get the Dialga book.
Clothing Buckets

Although the clothes in here are way too small to fit an adult, I still like the metal bucket they came in (even enough to buy a second one of these expensive things!)
You can see some more pictures of the other sides here and here.
Meiji Candy Tin
Source: crunch385 of pkmncollectors
These tins originally contain Meiji fruit-flavored candies (フルーツドロップ, Fruit Drops), though this one has long been empty.
I actually had two of these tins well before I received this one, but one featured Dialga and Giratina (from the 11th movie) and the other featured Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina all together (from the 12th). I didn't realize there was a 10th movie version until Crunch found it for me and offered it in trade. Thanks very much!
Blue and Black Gachapon Pouches
Source: Yahoo! Japan
These pouches are two different gashapon sets. I originally thought they were supposed to be cell phone cases, but they're actually much bigger: they might hold a PDA or even (almost) a DS Lite.
The paint looks really neat and reflective on the black one.

A bag that you have to stuff with little candies. I tried to buy just the bag, but they insisted I fill it with candy to buy it! Regigigas is on the back.
Medal Holder

This little case holds a stamped penny (maybe more than one?) such as the Medialief Dialga on my flat items page. Why they made a case just for those is beyond me...maybe thosepennies are more popular in Japan?
Pocket Chip Seal Sticker Set

I was going to buy this sticker set anyway for the Dialgas in there, but it wasn't until later I realized that the case itself had a Dialga on it. Nifty!

This bag is much bigger than the DS cases, and could be used as a full purse. Mine just sits propped up on one of my Dialga shelves, though.
