I made art, well maybe?

StrangeBrownie:

So I was looking at my DS cases and thought to myself, i am really annoyed with how the cart is shaking around in it.  I cut the corners of the DS slot too thin so the GBA/GB carts shake around in it.  I took the case and cut out the DS slot all together.  Then I hit up the new hobby shop in town (yes we never had one before) and picked up some 'funky foam'.  I cut them 5x4.5 inches and measured out the game cart on the foam and cut a hole for them. 
Here are a few pics of my end result of what they look like.


the foam on the side of the case is some extra that I used to fill it in.  Hey I'm on a budget right now being poor and all. 


Draw back is there is now a hole in the case that you can feel from the plastic outside.  I might get some really thin foam and use it to fill that in.  We will see, maybe a test for another day.


FritzWhite:

If you glue some black paper behind the cart hole it'll look ok.

StrangeBrownie:

I was thinking about doing that, but I think thin black foam would have a nice solid feel to it.  I didn't have any scrap paper laying around for some of the stuff.

Mick Dundee:

if your looking for something more sturdy to cover the hole, try some thin plastic. (like an old Soda bottle)

DarrienEmerald:

Everytime I see these eco-cases, I keep wondering why people having made dual sided covers to take advantage of them, with up to three different artworks in the arrows...
