A sturdy little pocket/pouch/case/cozy for your DS! This pocket includes extra cushioning along the corners, an opening for the charger port, and no sewn seaming whatsoever! (Unless you count reinforcing buttonholes as sewn seaming, then there’s a little of that…) The pattern includes an optional carrying strap; at a later date, I might add modifications for storing extra game cartridges.

Note that this will not fit the original DS (which is thicker and more obviously shaped like a clamshell) or DSi XL but might fit the regular-sized DSi.

Revision 1 (4/22/10) - fixed some typos in the original version of the PDF and added in some notes on when to check the pocket against a DS for sizing.

Revision 2 (4/29/10) - found another typo.

Feel free to send me a message if you find anything wrong with or unclear about the pattern - I try not to be more confusing than helpful.

Revision 3 (12/4/15) - fixed a mistake and added instructions for modifying for a 3DS.
