Xtreme Enterprises (http://www.nds-central.com/) are to release a new replacement case for the Nintendo DS, heres the details:


Project SHOCK! (like many of Xtreme Enterprise projects) is a full replacement NDS Lite case project that aims to provide gamers with an alternative to the original colors, as well as function as a repair part for destroyed DS Lite cases. Made from extremely high quality and durable ABS plastic materials, SHOCK! replaces all case parts for the DS Lite including :

a. Top/Bottom case (includes battery cover)
b. All buttons (L/R triggers, left thumbstick, right buttonsx4, start/select buttons, power/volume)
c. Top screen lens
d. Front cartridge cover

Xtreme Enterprise has completed the first Prototype Phase of Project SHOCK! with the released pictures in ivory white. (WARNING : These are untreated shells raw from the precision injection machines. May cause uneasiness to the uninitiated and unimaginative).

SHOCK! replacement shells will be released in a salvo of 6 aesthetically pleasing colors (pictures of actual products in their full glory will be released in stages) initially as follows:

Astro Yellow
Ivory White
Dynamic Red
Dreamy Blue
Cool Black
Strat Clear

i'd stick with a nintendo replacement as i prefer the clear plastic over white like the original uses. but if these are more durable then i suppose all those millions of people with disintegrating ds lites could use it. mine is fine :)

Edit: They should have put another row of speaker holes in it, i swear that's why the lite is quieter than the original.

The red with the Lite gloss coat would be cool, but I would've freaked out if they had a kiwi green one coming. That was by far my favorite GBC color.

I totally agree with you. i have a creative zen vision:m mp3 player and it is like a kiwi color. i would totally like something that would match it. i would totally want something in green, orange, or purple. these are my faorite colors.

While the picture is missing the hinge/LED joint, the finished product will include it.

I have emailed the guy and he was very willing to tell me pretty much everything I needed to know about the shell. He also said that it in its current state it's still a prototype, the final finished version of the shell will be coming out later this month.

my ds lite is getting replaced (I hope) due to the cracked hinge and a hint of the other crack starting. It was sent off the day this was posted, maybe if this isnt too pricey and works out, I'll be interested but my girlfriend will kill me for making a fuss over the cracks. :)

Buy lotsa these spare parts and build cheaper DS Lites by your self. You also need the guts, but there is some stores that sells those guts, but no shells. Making spare shells is not a hardware piracy?
