knex safe gameboy holder

knex safe gameboy holder
hello! i made a gameboy advance sp holder out of knex, with a safety system which i haven't seen yet. if it already exists on this site, please tell me. though it is for the GBA, it can easily be transformed to hold a nintendo ds,
a mobile phone, etc. the safety system stops the 'shockwave' that
is generated if the holder falls on the ground, protecting the electronic device from any harm.
you will need:
8 red rods 16 purple connectors
4 yellow rods 8 red connectors
22 blue rods 2 white connectors (snowflakes)
24 white rods 8 yellow connectors
2 little black connectors
8 small rubber bands
and 11 grey connectors (you can use others, they just need to be small)

i don't care what you say, though this is my first instructable.
have fun building!

There's just one thing I still don't understand: Why would you need a holder? The impression I'm getting is that it's to keep the unit from being damaged if it falls, but that suggests to me that it's very likely to fall, and I can't imagine why that would be. Is it really just to protect the unit if you lose a game and get so mad you throw it? Are the cords to the controllers short, so it gets pulled while you play? What am I missing? (FTR, I haven't had a game console since the Atari 5200, which was massive and more likely to hurt the thing it landed on than to get hurt itself. We just put it right on the floor to play.)
