Now that you know that it works, it is time to attach the panels. First hold the DS on its side (see first picture) and arrange the bottom panel underneath it so that no wires poke out the side. Use tape to hold stubborn wires in place. Once it is arranged properly, put a dab of glue on two of the corners of one side (for example, the upper-left and lower-left corners). Quickly press that side of the panel onto the DS, making sure it is straight and isn't covering anything important (L and R buttons, stylus, etc.) and hold it until the glue has cooled. Then gently lift the other side a little bit, apply glue in the corners, and press it back down. Having glue in the corners instead of a big blob in the center makes the panels easier to take off if something doesn't work.

Once you have the bottom panel attached (see second picture), fold the top panel onto the top of the DS (see third picture). Use the same glueing method as with the bottom panel.

Tip: press hard while the glue is drying so the panels don't stick out as much.
