GelaSkins for DS Lite Review

Today we are taking a look one of GelaSkins offerings for Nintendo’s DS Lite handheld gaming unit. GelaSkins are available for many gaming devices, Ipods, cell phones, laptops and more.

The boys, of course, could care less as long as it still works. Probably the most appealing thing to them is if it looks “cool.” So let’s give this GelaSkin a real world test and let a 9 and 6 year old run it through the gammut, shall we?

Tool-less design features can be found everywhere, and except for mounting the motherboard, there is no need to get a screwdriver out. - The Review
