I know case replacements aren't that new, but I like how this one turned out. Last picture next to my new Asus EEE 900 just for fun. It came with a broken white keyboard ('a' key is missing and constantly pressed), but a new black one is on it's way.

OH dannggg that looks tightt.
Does the green case fit well and is it easy to mod?
I've been considering modding my DS (or buying a used one to mod) and I thought the green looked pretty bomb.

Mannn, I would really like that DS!

Great job. Maybe I'll come to you to do some case modding for me.

Well, this is my second attempt at this mod, the first time I broke a very fragile ribbon cable going to the touch screen. This took maybe 1 hour, and wasn't that hard. The only thing is the L button still doesn't work, I don't have the courage/desire yet to try soldering that on. For now this is perfect, and the white trim is my favorite part.

Wow, that looks great! I've always wanted to get my DS case modded, but it's too expensive to ship it to someone, pay them, etc, and there's just no way I can do it. :<

You should at least give it a shot, it's not that hard. Just go slow, follow thieves' excellent guide in the NDS hardware section, and keep track of all the parts. The kit I got came with a full set of screws too, so I wasn't too worried about losing any. Also, watch the ribbon cable on the touch screen. It's tiny, and very easy to come loose.
