Reader Arun wrote in to us with the above image, showing us a use for that old Wii wrist strap. Sure, it's not strong enough to support someone playing a bout of Wii Sports: Bowling with all of their energy (see: playing like an idiot), but we're fairly certain its role as a strap on the DS Lite is just fine. We wonder what other kinds of straps people are using on their DS and DS Lites ...
How many of you out there have used your old Wiimote wrist strap on your DS?

Doesn't the DS Lite come with a strap? I could have sword mine did, but I could be wrong.

I actually use my white PSP strap on my black DS. I sold off the PSP and forgot to include the strap.

Yep, that's exactly what I did with my old remote strap. And somewhat ironically, right after I attached the strap was the first time I ever dropped my DS.

Actually, I switched my DS phat strap and my new wiimote strap, so my wiimote has a black strap, and my DS has a white strap. However, i gave my four old straps to friends with DS lites.

I put the new strap on my dslite. I'm not some strongarmed dumbass who needs an extra thick strap to stop from throwing his wiimote into his tv.

I did the same thing, but discovered it was too long, so I used the strap that came with a USB drive.

I don't need my DS Phat wriststrap anymore after getting the one that came with Phoenix Wright: Justice For All's pre-order goodies. At some point I had the old strap attached to my PSP, in a bout of irony (see also: watching trailers for XBox games through the PSP's video player, and emulating Mike Tyson's Punch Out on it as well.)

You know, my brother decided to do this with my DS, and I thought it was a good idea. With some games, if you put on the strap and secure it, you can actually play the game using only one hand.

That's a good idea. I would do that if I didn't have my Mario Kart strap from my red DS Phat on there.

I have had one of the thick ones for a while, since like Christmas, works really well and I don't have to worry about breakage, which is good because I am overprotective of my DS.

Since Nintendo sent me 8 of the new Wii wrist straps instead of 4, I use one of them on my digital camera. Since it is adjustable, it stays on my wrist better than the one it came with. Awesome!
