Quite frankly, we're a bit shocked it took this long for the paint gun-wielding gurus over at
Colorware to start fancying up Nintendo's famed DS Lite, but just in case The Big N has yet to
unveil a
hue that
floats your
boat, look no further. As with most everything else it sells, you can send in your current unit in order to receive it back in a whole new outfit, but those who've yet to jump on board the bandwagon can acquire their very first DS Lite already modified. Best of all, Colorware lets you paint up the main frame, button pad, front port, bottom, L / R buttons and even the stylus separately (for a cost, of course), so those looking to relive the 70s can toss together some seriously groovy combinations. Go on, hit up the read link and exercise that artistic muscle.

Grah, wish I had known about this.
But if it's America only, then I don't care. I'd love a Dark Green DS Lite, but I'm happy with my Navy Blue.
I think I'm going to end up doing this. It's the one device I can wait three weeks for.
I still don't like their policy regarding warranty.
If you send in a product (used or new in box), 30 day parts, 1 year labor.
Buy the product from them, 1 year parts and labor.
Does it not make sense that if you send them a sealed product, you should get 1 year parts & labor.
Sure it's capitalism, but it's feigned customer service in my opinion.
Was going to send my Blackberry Curve until they told me their outrageous policy. How could they treat my phone, new in box, similarly to some phone by Joe-Schmoe who picks his nose and probably drops his phone in his carpetted motor home. I would expect a better warranty for having my phone devirginized by their hands.
BTW, if you lose the battery door or have it damaged, and wanted a new battery door painted, too bad. They don't do individual parts; gotta buy a new product and have them repaint the entire thing.
If you have a sealed product or want a new one then just buy it from them new and colored and get the full yeah for both parts and labor.
Brand New BlackBerry Curve on eBay - ~$320
Blackberry Curve RETAIL - $399
Blackberry Curve Colorware - $499 (without painting options)
It's a rip off.
If you send in YOUR brand new, sealed product, you only get 30 day parts, 1 year labor. Not the 1 Year Part/Labor.
You're paying a premium just to get proper warranty coverage; that is my point. They're obviously out to make a mean-profit.
Get your info straight. The $499 INCLUDES the paint job.
Why would you have a sealed Curve anyway? If you want the full warranty, sell your sealed-in-the-box curve for retail cost (unless you dropped it on the floor of your carpeted motor home), then buy one from ColorWare.
The big meanies >.
Sorry but WTF are you talking about their warranty makes perfect sense.
@ Will, you're correct. I initially believed it was $499 for the phone alone. But the $499 cost only includes one coat/color. Nonetheless, it's cheaper to buy from eBay. My mistake on that.
@ Dyranios, if you send in a sealed, new product. They should treat it equally as it you bought it from them, since obviously they have sealed product. If you send in a sealed phone, they'd give you the same coverage as a used phone, which imo, is unfair.
I bought a 4G iPod from them years ago, which had lots of hard drive trouble. The first two times it died was during the warranty and their customer service was great and the repair very fast both times. I really liked the quality of the paint job and would buy from them again if there was an item I wanted.
No thank you, I'll just go with my gold plated replacement cases.
Holy cow is their example picture ugly.
if you replace the blue with red for the top and black for the GBA port cover its a famicom ds.
This is who's been buying all the DS's!!
*belch
sorry, i had the egg salad sandwich for lunch.
ehhh...I'll just wait until the cobalt/black combo DS is back in stock and get one...
I just threw up, just a little bit, in the back of my mouth.
