I'm just happy with my over-priced Japanese Light Blue DS I bought there a few weeks ago.

No, you can't do that with a Bedazzler! o_O They look like they were done by Crystal Icing. They are painted underneath, but the crystals are still placed individually by hand. They're not "clear beads", the painting makes the big gaps between the crystals less noticeable so they can do more freeform designs like that. From what I've heard the crystals fall off more when they're painted.

I studded a DS for a friend and it was only $80 in crystals but it took about 10 hours. It would probably take much longer and not look all that great if you'd never done it before though.

MonkeyBiz, are you sure? It really looks like the placement of the "bling's" follow the shapes of the images...

I dunno, I kinda like that Link DS... I may have to sic my oh so crafty mom on this one. Maybe she can fix my cracked hinge while she's at it.

So... shiny...

I wonder if I can jury rig a bedazzler to work with my DS without completely ruining either one.

@Kimosabae: Hmmm...looks kinda gay.

Really? That's odd, I don't see any hot man on man action or girl on girl on either DS. Baby Mario and Yoshi don't count.

hm... crystal encrusted DS Lite for hundreds of dollars, or a DS Lite that looks cooler than the above ones for ten bucks? (assuming you already have one)

Tough choice. But to be fair, the Link and adult Mario DSes are pretty cool looking.

8-bit Triforce woulda been perfect on the DS Lite, and these things put my poor printout taped on cover to big time shame...

Do the "bedazzlers" actually work on non-fabric stuff? I've seen a coupla commercials about it and it looks like it needs to pierce whatever it's attached to.

Link one looks kinda cool... but for some reason, since the crystals make it all bumpy and rough.. it kinda turns me off of it. Maybe if they made a smooth but equally shiny and sparkly one (if thats somehow possible) then id want one.

or if it was diamonds instead of crystals.

......I swear i saw these at my local target last week saying "This week only get a DS lite and get a free crystallized cover"...the designs were different, but they were high quality looking, just Mario's face on the right of the DS, black DS has Mario with black crystals, white DS has clear crystals and pink has princess peach with pink crystals......why didn't i buy mine then...

In my opinion, I rather have a lazer-etched image adorning my DS, then Swarovski Crystals. To be totally honest, I'd like an image that lights up with a colored glow of your choice whenever the DS is on, the same way you got that Apple lit up on Mac Books.

If it wasn't the Wind Waker Link, I'd want that Link one. Make it the original Link!

@Xsyven: Nah Mario knows hes the man.
Its the one of Yoshi seemingly mooning the unsuspecting person on the other side of the DS, while an innocent Baby rides on his back no less, that I find disconcerting

It it just me, or does anyone else think that the Mario one is a bit too 'fabulous'?

Bling ;]

Seriously though what is it with Ninty console mods theses days?

Everyone knows they'll just release a Pokemon Edition soon enough and I'll be forced to have two of the same console once again!

I personally think it's kind of tacky.

It's like beads a woman wears or sews on her clothes if she's going to go ballroom dancing or something.

Thats cheating! They print out an image, then stick it to the back of a bunch of clear beads. Then stick that to a DS. I might be able to reproduce that!

They do look great. I just wish they did them the other way around so when the DS is open the image isn't upside down to people you're facing.

It'd be nice if they put them on the other way around, so it wouldn't be upside when you're actually using the thing.
