Hacking Replacement DSlite Cases

Has anyone had any experience with the shockbuddy dslite cases? My black ds has a couple of scratches now and a yellow dslite would look extremely cool.
I'd probably keep the original black buttons and stylus though, I really don't like those clear ones

the clear ones look pretty cool with a black casing imo =]

They've been said to break easily (hinges)

Also heard there hard to install(sometime the buttons dont work,etc).

 

[Louse76]

But I also hear that modchips are hard to install from some people too!

I'd get one of those but aren't they a little overpriced? I think I remember seeing them for like $30 or $35, is that right?

 

[TLSpartan]

But Louse76 I forget where I saw the review for it but a guy said that he had to cut bits of rubber and put them under the L and R buttons to get to them to work. BTW the translucent one looks preety cool

If I keep the original DS buttons it should work perfectly though, right?

Are there any other brands that you'd recommend?

No, just no...

translucent electronics=uuuuugly IMHO

As far as I know, project shock are the only ones that make Lite shells, right?

 

[becker2384]

Yeah. the only options that I have found for a case replacement is the SHOCK! case or a faulty/defective case on ebay. I've been searching a couple of forums for a modder that might have an extra with no luck.

I got the STRAT clear one from them, the quality of the case is overall a 7/10 there are some areas that could be improved but it is a good replacement.

I must advise that i had a clear plastic snap on type protecter skin/case and it now doesn't fit so one side hinge slips out of place and may have induced some stress on the plastic but i think it should be o.k

good buy to be honest, one more thing if the L/R buttons don't fit into the metal coloumns but wiht some force do but may not last long.

yes its hard as hell to do, but i have done it (have the cool black one), i am thinking of adding in led lights too though, you dont have to be super carefull lol watch this video, this guy is slapping his ds around as he is doing it.
