    Nintendo DS

    Platform »

    The Nintendo DS is a handheld featuring two screens, one of which is a resistive touchscreen. Four different models are available: the original DS, the DS Lite, the DSi, the DSi XL.

    How does this look for a new DSi casing?

    (XCM Eye-Candy shell) the replacement shell for NDSi console (Crystal series)

    Tired of the original color of your NDSi handheld console? This is your answer.
    　

    XCM Eye-Candy shell (Crystal series) - Made from the best quality super clear acrylic plastic available. These cases will bring out the beauty of your handheld like no other case can.

    The XCM Eye-Candy shell includes:

    Full NDSi Replacement Case

    Buttons

    Screwdriver - No Extra Tools Required!

    　

    　



    I say I am impressed.  I have always has a soft spot for a see through games system.  Is it really that easy to do though?  I would be afraid of destroying my console - I am a coward  xP

    Anyone up for a change?

    I think it looks cheap. I'll take my matte black DSi over that any day, and twice on Thursday. Then again, I'm very partial to matte black.

    Hm, I don't really like the look of it personally. I don't know, it looks like it would break if I pressed on it too hard. But I can understand why some people would like this as opposed to the "regular" casing.

    Hey man, the 90s are back  :-)  

    Now, where are my MC Hammer pants?

    Maybe some cool artwork underneath it would be a better option then?

    I've never liked the clear plastic consoles, seeing the internals is cool for 5 minutes, but they look cheap

    Pretty cool but I think I'd prefer the original casing.

    It needs Astroboying up. When I get another I may customize it before assembly, maybe with some different coloured LED's, I have some cool Astroboy images that would work well with the whole electro look.

    Hmm, I do like my somewhat clear N64 and Game Boy Color, but I don't know if I want it on on DS.

    It looks pretty cool but generally I'm not into clear consoles like that.
