If there's anything we like, it's customization. Call us crazy, but even if it's, uh, not the best, we'll usually find something to say about it*. Lately, though, we've been blessed here in the Show and Tell corner with some really awesome submissions from readers who've been taking the look of their Lites into their own hands. Reader Josh didn't draw the art that he's used to adorn his DS, but he made it work on the case, so we'll credit both him and the artist. Can you puzzle out what it is? If not, teleport past the break to see it in full-sized glory. Actually, go whether you can guess or not!Got something you want to show off to all the other DS fans? We like just about anything with a little Nintendo flavor, so snap a few pics, tell us your story, and send it all to showmeit [at] dsfanboy [dot] com. We'll take care of the rest.
*We didn't say it would be necessarily positive, but in that case, the artist herself seemed to be with us!
Yep, it's Portal! Josh printed the art on photo paper and slipped it under the clear cover on his DS Lite for a really nice custom look! Click for the larger version.

Madhatter: Does your clear case cover the whole top of the DS? Mine leaves a little bit uncovered along the hinge. =\

yeah mines got a bit of space around the hinge too, s'pose it wouldn't close properly without it?

Wow, great artwork. I know the cool / geek factor is reason enough, but why would you make Portal art for your DS? And when is Portal coming out on the DS because I want it...
