Show and Tell: Don't throw that Game Boy away

by Alisha Karabinus { Jun 12th 2008 at 2:45PM }

Have an old Game Boy lying around? You could use it to pave your garden ... or, you could follow the example set here by reader Matt's incredible ladyfriend Katie and turn it into one of the coolest cases we've ever seen. A little denim, a little padding, a few pockets, plus some retro handheld goodness is all it took to make us totally jealous.

We'd buy it. Someone get Katie an Etsy store, stat.

Don't worry, Katie specifically bought a broken Gameboy from ebay... It went to a better home!

:-D

"Katie specifically bought a broken Gameboy from ebay"

Oh, good. I was about to go off on a tirade about how wrong gutting a perfectly good classic system was. :)

Aaanyway, it looks really nice. I would have glued a picture of a screenshot from my favorite Game Boy game to show up on the screen, but that's just me.
