Show and Tell: Don't throw that Game Boy away
Have an old Game Boy lying around? You could use it to pave your garden ... or, you could follow the example set here by reader Matt's incredible ladyfriend Katie and turn it into one of the coolest cases we've ever seen. A little denim, a little padding, a few pockets, plus some retro handheld goodness is all it took to make us totally jealous.

Show and Tell is all about your stuff, so long as it's Nintendo-related. We love to see your collections, your crafts, your frosted creations, your t-shirts and swag of all sorts. Just snap a few pictures, tell us what's up, and send it all to showmeit [at] dsfanboy [dot] com. We'll take care of the rest.

Don't worry, Katie specifically bought a broken Gameboy from ebay... It went to a better home!

"Katie specifically bought a broken Gameboy from ebay"
Oh, good. I was about to go off on a tirade about how wrong gutting a perfectly good classic system was. :)
Aaanyway, it looks really nice. I would have glued a picture of a screenshot from my favorite Game Boy game to show up on the screen, but that's just me.

Without wanting to give away ALL THE TRADE SECRETS, there's a bit of a 'How To' on Katie's blog...
