WaSaBi Cases Reimagine Your DSi In Aluminum

In case you’re one of those people who can’t stand conforming to society, holding a DSi decorated in spartan, matte black, these “WaSaBi” cases from Gametech can dress up your system while adding a bit of extra protection.

Priced at $US27 and available now, we know you’ve seen Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa a million times by now. But this time it’s different. It’s on your DSi (or DS, or PSP). And no one else with a print or reinterpretation of Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa can take that away from you. Unless they steal your DSi (or DS, or PSP). Then they’ll have a piece of your art collection and your portable console. And there’s no coming back from that. [WaSaBi via TinyCartridge via GoNintendo]

    @TonyWonder:

    Oh and ps. slapping it on the side of a DS is fucking lame...

  • TonyWonder

    The Great Wave of Hokusai is one of my favourite pieces of art. I like how its not one of a kind but several woodblock prints that a bunch of impressionist artists had in their studios like Monet I believe.

  • OMG! Ponies!

    Yeah. I could see buying that. But I don't have a DSi so it's kind of a mute point.

    I'm not gonna deny it. I'm just a little bit turned on.

    @sharkync: Or maybe it's a point he just doesn't like talking about. It could be a sensitive subject to him. Don't be so judgmental.

    Nice, but surely the wave on the top lid is upside down when you have it open and want people to see what excellent taste you have...

    I bought a WaSaBi silicone case for my iPhone. It was pricey but looked great. Unfortunately since they used blue silicone as a base, then black on top of the blue for detail, it started to wear down quickly. The detail of the wave started getting lost within the first week. Now, after a couple months, it looks like an old worn out pair of jeans. Still kinda cool, but I wish it lasted longer since it was fairly expensive for a case. Fortunately these DSi cases shouldn't have that problem being that they are aluminum.

    I just now realized it would have been spiffy if Nintendo made the DSi using aluminum instead of plastic.
