An injeanious DS Lite case (and a very bad pun)

Having decided that a mere pocket wasn't enough to protect his brand new DS Lite and games, inventive blogger John Spain decided to grab a pair of old jeans and thoroughly molest it with a rotary cutter, copious amounts of glue and intricate Origami-style folding techniques. The DS-friendly end result is nothing short of amazing, proving yet again that pants are far better off in the hands of a bored man than on the legs of a busy one.

That sounded a little weird.

[Thanks jps!]

That's AWESOME! Saves me $12 on a case :)

By the way, I spotted Phoenix Wright for less than $60 on half.com. First time in a while!

That's a sweet case idea. But he may want to add zippers to the pockets so games don't fall out during travel.

I found out that the soft case that comes with the PSP is a perfect fit for the DS lite. I'm not sure if there will be a matter anti-matter reaction that will destroy the universe, but it does fit nice.

Another thing that would work is to find a PDA of similar dimensions to the DS Lite and purchase a case for it. Then use it to tote your Lite.

Occasional crafting, occasional playing videogames, reading with a very closed mind, doing word problems.

#2, the games can't fall out if it's wrapped up and buttonned. I think it's perfect, and I happen to have an old pair of jeans in my closet.
