XCM has created the perfect thing for those curious about the inner workings of their game consoles (and who isn’t, frankly). The Crystal Clear DSi lets you dismantle your colored DSi, and create a crystal clear customized DSi.
The crystal clear case by XCM is part of a shell kit that includes the NDSi Replacement Case, button and screwdriver. I really don’t think I could be trusted to dismantle and reconfigure a game console, but if you are capable, the clear case is pretty great.
