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 .

    Me and wifey was deciding on our next vacation, so I hung up a map on the wall, and give her a dart and said, wherever you hit, we will go. She threw the dart and it missed the map completely and fell into a trash can below on floor. So I said "ok Florida it is."
