Show and Tell: Dual use


DS owners are all about maximizing potential through duality. To go with our dual screens, we're often looking for things we can force into double duty, and reader airpolgas has clearly mastered this art. He turned a simple watch tin into a veritable treasure trove of DS goodness. Sure, he says, it may not fit in a pocket, but that's okay -- his wife's purse is also dual use when they're on the go. We also can't help but admire his choice of Phoenix Wright for the glamour shot above.

Of course, his niece helpfully points out that, if anything happens to the case, he just may be screwed. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you!

Hit the jump to see a few more pictures of the Fossil tin, and remember, if you have something to show off, we want to see it. From crafts to cakes to collections ... whatever you've got, if it has a little Nintendo flavor, we want to see it. Just take some pictures (or copy your web album links) and send them to showmeit [at] dsfanboy [dot] com. We'll take care of the rest.

Is it shiny and pretty and special? Hell, is it at least clean?

I just use a $3 memory card holder I found at Sav-On. It holds 12 games (comfortably) and I keep it attached to my DS case with a keyring loop.

Resourcefulness! Wooo!!

I was using a Plano tackle box until I hit upon using coin holder binder sheets. I use sheets with 20 pockets. Works great and easy to find the game you're looking for but they tend to slip right out sometimes.

That's pretty nifty. I got some of those Fossil tins, too. I got the ones that look all bitmap-y and stuff. One parodied GTA somewhat, while the other was a parody of Mario, I believe...But good idea to make them into DS storage tins! I should run home to convert those!
