Need a new ds shell

Hi all! My ds hinge on the left and right sides had hairline cracks. Now the hairline crack on the right side opens further when I open and close my ds. Unless I push it back in just right. So now my ds is clicking a lot everytime I open it and the crack is getting worse and worse. So I decided it's time for a new shell. Shouldn't be too hard to do (only 20-something steps on flickr :rolleyes: ).
So which one looks best from the following? Or if you know one that looks even better than post it up.
I'm really leaning against using white since mine is white already. However, I like the fact that it's in color and it would be a great thing to show off at school with :)

Bape Gold looks really rich and I read it's supposed to look more gold than tan in real life.

iQue DS loos really nice and occupying. I like that it's not white and I like that it's got Chinese written on it. I'm a Japanamaniac but Chinese is just as good.

My mom likes the Bape White.
My dad like the Bape Gold.
And I like the iQue Design.

So my family is pretty much torn so I need some more opinions and suggestions.
Btw I heard real Bape DS's are going for ~$600 in Japan. :O

I'd suggest the clear blue color: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10859

But I would recommend against trying to replace the shell, most likely you'll just end up breaking your DS so you have to buy a new one, and for the people who are lucky to replace it, the DS has minor defects still, like power button broken (have to use a pin to turn on DS), case doesn't close correctly, etc.
 
Bape is ... Nyeh. The iQue DS looks nice, but I would get something that'll get you to stand out. Maybe either fuse 2 different color cases together (expensive~! Black and White xD) or get a clear one. Blue or Clear would work...
 
Yea I forgot about clear. I was thinking maybe I could get clear and then print out good quality bape stickers and put it on the front. I would have to use something that would stick though like glossy stickers or something. :unsure:
Thanks for all the suggestions.

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
