Finally changed the case on my DS

Took me several hours of frustration, but I finally have a Zelda-shelled DS Lite :)

That is all.

Yeah me too. Funniest thing, I found it on clearance for $3 at some electronics store.

Looks awesome.

I need to repair my DS Lite. The hinge is broken and it won't turn on. I might as well change the case, too.

I tried to repair my case.
Broke two DSLs in the process.
Never opening a handheld again.

I want to replace the case of mine with a Japan-only color, but I don't know where to find them for cheap D:

Did you check dealextreme.com? That's where I got my case. It was nearly a perfect fit, however I did have to file one or two edges down for a better fit.

Why would you need to file, shouldn't it just fit?

Nice case. ^_^

It is a clone case, so it's not perfect, but the build quality is good, and you'd have to have a very keen eye to tell it's not official.

DealExtreme doesn't have any DSi XL cases. I even looked up DSi LL in hopes of finding it, but no luck.
They have quite a wide selection of DS lite cases though.

nice one xD
what tools did you use to replace the case ?
i am considering a replacement for one of my DSLites seeing as the case isn't holding itself anymore which is a big bother .

just the essentials , although if there were any other tools that made it easier , then i'd like to know those too !

Honestly, you'll want all the optional tools you can get for something like this. I needed a triwing screwdriver, a small phillips (both from DX for $1), needlenose pliers, jewelry tweezers, one needle pin (like, sewing kind), and an x-acto knife.

Should have recorded how you did it. :P

I'd rather just stick with custom skins, rather then custom cases...unless my case broke.

Nice, though.

Broke my DS lite when I tried the first time...

I don't want that to happen again. :(

screwdrivers are bundled with the case i am buying , and everything else , i will just search for .
i can probably get at a local hardware store or possibly a jewelry / arts and crafts store .

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
