The DIY no-sew NES controller wallet photo

Want to impress the ladies by walking around with a giant brick in your pants? Have a sacrificial NES controller lying around? Solution: the NES controller wallet. The construction of this fashinable piece of geekery requires no sewing and barely any motor skills, so even the crafty impared can make one. All you need is a stock zipper, strong glue, and the patience of Axl Rose (yeeee-ah). If you hate reading, hit the gallery for an idea what to do, or follow this simple 6 step program. 

Clever, but can it be utilized to carry five severed osprey heads? No. It's petite.

To be honest, I prefer the cassete wallets the guy made, plus they don't involve killing an innocent nes pad.

i hate projects like these: they don't make NES controllers anymore, so every time someone destroys one for a stupid-ass belt buckle, or a wallet, they're destroying a piece of gaming history! i do NOT approve.

For those who had objections to the...err... "mod", perhaps this
is much more acceptable. I found it over at Geekologie.
