Yeah...but it's quite a bit more complicated to take apart the DSi than it is to take apart the other ones. The company that released those cases has a tutorial...and it's pretty complicated.

Now we just need to know if replacing the case is any different which it probably is.

Hm...some of those don't exactly look to be of the highest quality. A problem, though, with these cases, is that the digitizer is still gonna be the same colour as before.

 

[disgaea fan]

hmm look good enough

I would just buy the case for the top part, and keep everything else OEM. Like for example, I have a black DSi, I would just put the Kingdom Hearts top on it and call it a day

I think you still basically have to take the whole thing apart just to do that anyway.

I am gonna get those ones from Focal Price up... Good to know that they are actually releasing replacement cases for the DSi.

Thieves Like Us is gonna have a new buisness sooner or later xD
