Easy Duct Tape DS Game Case

In this instructable I want to show you how to make a easy and simplistic ds game case out of duct tape, please note that you may want to edit your creation as you go along, to fit your needs :)

I got this Idea from looking for a simple DS game case made entirely out of duct tape, but couldn't find one I liked enough :p so I made this

Note: This is my first instructable, please comment on any error you may see in it
also, sorry for the image quality, but I think the images are good enough to get the point across

Step 1: Materials

Materials:
1. Duct tape
2. Knife (or other sharp object) to cut duct tape
3. DS game cartridges (have as many as you want the case to hold)

you should add messurements

This is really cool i have a NDS lite. There so much better then the original. You need to get the lite.

[akaski]

I'm waiting for the DSi to come out, and get that

[amakerguy]

What is that??

[akaski]

Its the DS generation after the light, it has 2 cameras (defiantly not under doing in there >.> ) slimmer, SD card slot, other stuff like the wii sorta', bigger screen, but no GBA slot Its already out in Japan, I think I read it coming out in the U.S. either spring 2009 or fall 2009

[zimmemic25]

the problem with the "no gba slot" is that u cant use the memory extension or rumblePak

don't forget guitar hero on tour guitar grips

[poptart432]

nice job

[zimmemic25]

why did u take a picture of it falling???
i broke my SupercardDS1 by dropping it, why do u drop 8 carts?

[R4Man18]

what broke and why didnt you spring for a better cart? a simple drop wouldnt harm the cart at all.

[zimmemic25]

the chip broke. there was no current between mass and gnd. so it didnt boot up... i got a acekard 2 now.. it is MUCH better.

[R4Man18]

lol you should have gone with the acekard 2 in the first place im saving cash for an acekard 2 RPG... and soon a DSI cart (thought it was acecard honestly)

[zimmemic25]

afaik there is an acekard, an acekardRPG, an acekard2 and an acekardDSi(new), but no 2RPG.

[akaski]

well, the case probably didn't inflict more damage than usual.... so... I think it was probably a poorly crafted cart.

[zimmemic25]

yeah. i sent my cart back 3 times cause it was broken before i now use an acekard2, which lives longer now than all 3 scDS1 that i had before.

[akaski]

because I wanted to show that I trust it holding my games >.> (really I just wanted to see how falling things looked on my camera)

[amakerguy]

you did not take a pic of it falling I can SEE THE STRING!!!!

[akaski]

It is falling(took me like 20 times....I was bored) the "string" is the wood (also, it shouldn't matter if it is falling, it probably doesn't add any protection) (also, I just can't see why this has a rating of 2.86 with only one rating XD )

[amakerguy]

But what about the shadow of the string?

[akaski]

There is no string

[codongolev]

I did this, but it's for my psp, and it holds the psp (with camera attached), 5 games, headphones, an extra memory stick, and an emergency battery powerered charger. and it has a handle. I made it by taking a block of wood the same width as my psp, cutting two blocks of wood the same dimensions as my psp, covering one inside out with tape, covering it with tape the opposite way, taking the block out, putting both blocks together, doing it again, then taping the open ends of the duct tape "pouches" together to create a lid kind of thing. then I added magnets and a handle. (I made sure that the magnets wouldn't hurt my stuff.) hard to explain, but awesome.

[akaski]

Awesome, taking it cross-platform XD

[codongolev]

duct tape! suh-weet!

[akaski]

Yea! Unfortunately I only have red and blue at the moment instead of awesome gray, but it works :)

[codongolev]

who cares? it's duct tape, so it'll never break!

[zimmemic25]

yea i made one like this too. but cause i have a actionReplay extended edition (it has a big memory-box, so it is like 2 game carts) i made a custom slot for it. and i made 2 slots for GBA games.

[akaski]

Thats a good plan
"you may want to edit your creation as you go along, to fit your needs :)"

you are very good at following instructions ^_

"sorry for the image quality"? these are better and clearer than my sister's. and she's a photographer's daughter.

[akaski]

yes, thanks for the compliment... I think, but being a daughter of a photographer does not necessarily make one a good photographer..... usually anyways :p
