I finally got sick of having a Samsung wrist strap on my Nintendo DS, so I ordered the official 'wrist strap with thumb stylus' from Nintendo's online store.

Looks good, doesn't it?

You can kinda see the thumb stylus in this shot, and the classic Nintendo logo. The Nintendo DS logo is on the other side of the strap, and since it's really the only thing on the DS that screams 'Nintendo', I'm pretty okay with it.

Also, the strap is really nice and smooth and silky feeling. Very pleasant. Once I hooked it onto the back properly, it seemed to work just fine for...whatever it's supposed to do. I can't be entirely sure yet, because I have to either clean or replace my screenguardz.

It was 5.95 with shipping, which isn't exactly horrible. I ordered it late on Friday night, got a shipping notification on Tuesday after five, and it was here today. Not bad.

They could probably save even more on shipping, though [and not have to charge the $2] if they put it in a little, thick envelope instead of a hyooge box. I bet it wouldn't have cost a whole .83 cents, then.

Okay, so I'm a little bitter about that, but I wasn't even expecting it to show up until next week. I figured I'd have to wait to make my DS look slightly more official and Nintendoey....

I should go find my screenguardz now. Or at least my special lens cleaner wipes....
