did you just fold it to make the pocket or did you use 2 peices and stuck them in

This is cool. I will definitely make this. The only downside is that duct tape smells bad....but then again, it is nearly free!

yeah it smells bad but why would you even think of sniffing your ds case lol

That is undeniably cool, though I would have made a full pocket on the bottom instead of a flap. Extra work, yes, but it would hold your games better. Or maybe just tape an Altoids gum tin to the top/bottom of the case to hold 8, 9, maybe 10 games.

o-course i don't have much denim so that would be awesome
Apr 6, 2009. 8:33 AMAwsomeness says:
What is the measurements of the denim?

this inspires me to make a little sleeve to carry your DS in

how do you stick the velcro? tried fabric glue and super glue, they didn't work.
Apr 15, 2008. 12:34 AMpebble712 says:
use the brand Scotch: reclosable fasteners they have sticky backsides u can find them at wal-mart
Apr 15, 2008. 12:23 AMpebble712 says:
how do you get velcro 2 stick?
Nov 17, 2007. 3:46 PMheavy.metal.nguyen says:
is there anything you could use besides denim fabric
Nov 19, 2007. 3:12 AMheavy.metal.nguyen says:
thanks, I made a case kinda like this but forgot to add a little extra for the front flap. And the way I made pockets was to make them to the size of the game and use more tape to put them on the back.

pretty neat... it's even shinier than the ones you buy at the sore!

I've been reading Instructables for months, but this is the first thing I've made. Thanks for the idea!

this is cool. all other cases suck

Here's my version I substituted duct tape for packing tape because 1)I like the denim look and 2)I didn't have duct tape

Nice little case. I've been meaning to make/buy something to protect my DS. I may be missing something, but when am I cutting the "side" piece that is attached to the longer part cut out in step 2? How big should it be?
