I designed a "handle" in the style of a Nintendo GameCube for use with a "Gameboy Macro" console created using the lower half of a DS Lite.
It's a fun solution to the exposed hinge brackets and ribbon cable opening that normally need cutting, filling and painting with traditional methods.
The handle is flexible and pops into place on the completed Gameboy Macro console.
This video explains what a Gameboy Macro is, shows how the handle is attached and explains why I came up with this idea and how it's maybe not as silly as it at first seems.
