You'll be tempted to leave at this. Don't! With just a little more effort, we can add space for four more games in there, or even eight if you need them.

Roll out a strip of duck tape, 8cm long, 5cm wide. My roll was 5cm wide, so yours probably will be too. Slice this strip down the middle, so you have two pieces 8cm long, 2.5cm wide.

Take one of the strips, and fold it around a DS game cartridge, sticky side out. Not too tightly, as you don't want to be struggling with those little suckers when you need a Mario Kart fix. About a 2mm overlap seemed to be ok.

Next, trim 2cm off the height of the remaining duck tape piece, and then fold this around the existing duck tape on your DS cartridge, sticky side to sticky side. Make sure you line it up nicely! You'll notice you have a small strip of stick on the back. This is intentional!

Now, just to make things neat, cut a small strip of duck tape 5cm long and the width of a DS game. I found this to be around 3.2cm wide. Stick to the inside front of the little holder we've just created, about 2mm in, stick down the front and then fold over the remainder onto itself, flush to the holder. The idea is to fold this remainder over to make a base for the holder which won't stick to your DS games! The fourth picture shows this much better than I've described it. Fold it over to stick to the rear of the game holder. You should be able to slot a DS game in and out easily in this.
