And we're done! The weight of the games keeps the flap down, and it all looks pretty sweet. You should also be able to slide in a spare stylus into the inside of the holder down one of the sides (second picture). Don't push it in too far or you might not be able to get it out!

Now dig out that Mario Kart game and get racing!

If the instructions get worse towards the end, I blame the gin and tonics I drank in celebration of my first instructable!

Hi, great instructable. You might want to add a little magnet to the flap (will probably fit nicely between the card holders and a small piece of metal (make sure it sticks to the magnet!) to the Gameboy side of the casing. If this is done while making the cover, it will be quite sturdy and will close your case nicely! I don't own a gameboy (and probably never will) but it sure is a nice case! Good job, hope you get something good out of my advice!

I personally don't trust magnets near my electronics- I don't know enough about what will or won't hurt them to take the risk! But I was envisioning a nifty duct tape buckle. Would look cool, and help it stay closed! Must get pretty colored duct tape.... :D SWEET 'ible, by the way; very well done!

I've had magnets near my DS before (accidentally) and all it seems to do is make it think it's closed...no promises though. I doubt a small magnet would/could hurt anything.
