Controller-Camouflaged Packs

The 3DS Deluxe Power Grip Doubles the 3DS' Battery Life

— September 30, 2011 — Tech
If you are a handheld gamer who loves to play for hours on end, then you are definitely going to want to invest some time in checking out the Nintendo 3DS Deluxe Power Grip. This innovative item is a combination battery pack and game stand designed to extend the life of Nintendo's latest handheld.

The Nintendo 3DS is capable of playing games in 3D, but that third dimension comes at a price as the system's battery life is low. The 3DS Deluxe Power Grip is designed to double the battery life of the 3DS and prop it up at the same time. The battery pack also helps disguise your 3DS as a first-generation Xbox controller which should deter thieves from stealing it. The 3DS Deluxe Power Grip is available now from CTA for $29.
