We've wrapped up another giveway here at DS Fanboy, and six lucky readers are about to have the chance to cute-ify their handhelds! We also learned that, while Bugs Bunny is really popular, you folks dig a variety of fuzzy, bunny-like critters.

The winners:

• alberthegreat, who was a fan of the Monty Python bunny of doom.
• TheCoats, who was fond of girl-type Bugs Bunny
• Waffala, who appreciated the Black Rabbit of Inlé, from Watership Down
  
• Jtuck42, who liked creepy Frank in Donnie Darko
  
• thadwhit, who preferred his (her?) personal bunny, Thor
  
• Zack, also a Bugs Bunny fan

To the winners, we say huzzah! Check your e-mail. And to everyone else, not to fret -- we'll have more giveaways soon. Your day will come!

Need a little protection for your Lite? We've got you covered -- literally -- with six too-cute Mashimaro cases from Nuritech up for grabs. Each case (valued at $19.99) comes with a colorful stylus that, while cute, isn't quite as adorable as the cases themselves.

So what do you have to do to win one? Just leave a comment below between now and April 1 telling us about your favorite bunnies of all time. Who's eligible to win? If you're 18 or older, and a legal resident of the United States or Canada (minus Quebec), you're cleared to enter once per day between now and April 1. The giveaway will end that evening at 11:59 PM Eastern. We'll select six winners in a random drawing and announce the name of the lucky readers on Wednesday, April 2. Have questions? Check the official rules.

Adorable Mashimaro case now available stateside

You can dress up your DS Lite in frilly bows and baby outfits all you want, but it'll never reach its full cuteness potential without this Mashimaro case. Accessory distributor Nuri Tech has brought the Korean character to the states, offering the protective, decorated shell for $19.99. To promote the new product, Nuri Tech is throwing in a DS Lite Strap Touchpen and a set of screen protectors with each order starting today until April 1st. This is in addition to the stylus pen that comes with every Mashimaro case!

Unfamiliar with the chubby, expressionless bunny? He has a few Flash animations floating around, but here's a quick description: "In a quiet, small, and peaceful town in the forest, our Mashimaro is always causing trouble here and there in the forest with his little pot belly full of guts, witty spontaneous responses, and playful manner. He may seem a little prankish at times, but he adds a bit of flavor and puts smiles and cries into a boring life in the forest."

Yes, this is just the accessory you need to put "smiles and cries" into your boring life. Peek past the break for more photos of the DS Lite case and bonus stylus pen.

Toughen up your DS with a pudgy bunny

MashiMaro could be described as Korea's answer to Sanrio, Japan's heavily-merchandised community of Hello Kitty characters. The adorable, chubby rabbit sits atop a mountain of plushies and other branded products that are too cute for many to resist. Unlike his Sanrio colleagues, however, Mashimaro can be a jerk. In the Flash animations where he made his debut, he can be seen stealing food and pushing a pig off a cliff. He's a bad bunny to the bone.

Joytron recently put out a line of cases decorated with MashiMaro scenes, and they're just as cute as the thuggish cottontail himself. The shells slip over your DS Lite, adding an extra layer of plastic protection to your handheld. Joytron will even throw in a pen stylus with each order. Hop into the gallery below for more shots of the different "System Skin Cases" now available in Korea.
