No matter the device Nintendo makes, there is always some company attempting to improve on it. Usually this is ill-advised, and that’s why licensed Nintendo products are always your safest bet. Sometimes though, you just have to take a chance, throw caution to the wind, and buy a DSi grip.

Designed to make your DSi more ergonomic, this grip seems to be inspired by the current generation of controllers, and provides a firmer holding surface for your sweaty palms. It also provides a handy place to store a couple of cartridges, and serves as a convenient stand! Currently it is only available in Japan, however it only costs about $12 and I’m sure if there is enough demand someone will start importing it. Maybe we’ll get one for Peter, since he seemed to like his DSi.
