DS cases that don't suck photo

I've had my DS for over a month and have yet to find a case I don't hate. While surfing Siliconera today I found these delightful aluminum cases, which snap over your DS and stay on while you play. I like the art a lot, as I am obsessed with all things Japanese, but frankly I'd like a second option with a plain case in a solid color. Besides, I can't really say I know any guy who would use these, but they're still a step up from the boring official crap Nintendo is putting out.

these cases are cool too:http://www.nds-central.com/, but i've heard that they crack and that they're a pain in the ass to put on.

I want Jesus wearing a viking helmet fighting giant scorpions with a huge double-bladed battle axe on the slopes of Mount Doom. Which is also a tattoo I'm totally going to get one day.

I think my girlfriend has a purse that would match one of those cases perfectly. I'd better not let her see these.
