Right around the time of the New Year, the game sites of the interwebs were literally drowning in Portal fan items, from plush Companion Cubes to GlaDOS inspired knitting. As much fun as it was to see so much enthusiasm for a videogame, I think by that time we were all a little burned out on Portal fancrafts. Luckily, the internet found other things to obsess over and moved on, which makes the apperance of this Portal DS skin a hell of a lot more welcome.
This fan used the popular Portal art by Deviant artist McGibs that popped up a few months ago and skinned his DS with it, top and bottom, creating a really great looking continous design that shows best when the DS is open (see gallery.) Nice job, Sir! He actually printed the pic out on photo quality paper and then slipped it under his DS Lite's clear cover.
That really makes me want to get a clear cover and just change it out whenever I'm in the mood. It looks like a few other people have seen this DS and followed suit, and I can't say I blame them. Of course, I have a soft spot for customization.

I personally use a Haruhi-themed DS insert for my case. The images are WTFHUGE, so here are hyperlinks to the photos:

If anyone wants the case, here it is. Like I said, I highly recommend it.
Portal fills me with love!
I can beat Super Mario Brothers in about 20 minutes and people still talk about that game. Apples to oranges to pears to grapefruit. Regardless, people love good games and are going to talk about said games for some time to come whether or not you're sick of hearing about them.
Besides, it's their DS, let them graffiti it however the hell they want. Sorry for bitching and rambling...
Sorry
Its just a printout of the pic then cutting it to fit the clear protection case.
I'd rather done a simple logo sticker or something.
Clean and sterile like the levels in Portal.
