Nyko ships $25 Zoom Case for DSi: because your DSi totally needs a zoom lens
Remember that wacky zoom lens attachment for Nintendo's DSi that was launched back in January? Amazingly, the product design team convinced everyone else in the company to move ahead with plans for production, and now it's making its way out to cold, steel shelves. $24.99 buys you a hard shell case for your handheld along with a detachable optical zoom lens, which supposedly gets your sensor eight times closer to a given subject than Nintendo ever intended. You'll also be mocked eternally if you're ever caught using this in public, but hey, maybe you're thick-skinned.
























On second thought, yes it does need one.
of course it needs one how can not?
Haha, look at the bracelet by her elbow. It's choking her fat.
Why do I have to keep confirming my Engadget comments?
Because your comments are stupid.
It's a child's toy, idiots.
She has lots of inner beauty.
Don't judge her, for all we know she could be he.
Doust ye knowest she be not he? Can't ye see?
The 80s called. They want their . . . everything . . . back.
Trust me, on a cold, dog-eat-dog night, you'll have absolutely no problem seeing her outer beauty.
NO NO NO
girls go away - you're scaring me
We like only boys gadget stuff, and boys too
euh... no... I like women... more than I do like gadgets... Women > Gadgets.
I'm sorry, but is there a lens anywhere in that picture? My genetic precondition of being a male prevents me from seeing it.
kidding??
i would bang that like a salvation army drum. the chick of course, not whatever the article is about. whats it about again? all i see is hot asian chick in leather.
Girl is chubby, not even slightly hot. Anyone who thinks she is hot has Yellow Fever
Ok I could see you having an opinion on being good looking or not but chubby....she is not chubby. Jesus do women have to look like Lindsay Lohan crackheads for you to think they're not chubby? lol
Hey, what's the difference between Calista Flockhart and a counterfeit $1 bill? One's a PHony Buck . . .
Seriously, though . . . How is that girl even remotely "chubby?"
What's the point of using a camera on DSi's crappy VGA camera?
Might as well get one for iPhone and Android
I mean what's the point of adding a zoom lens on a crappy VGA camera.
Can this be crap gadget of the year?
Back in the year 2000 I spent $2000 on a VGA camera with a zoom lens. A Sony TRV900 DV camera. You make it sound like this is ridiculous.
I took my DSi hiking to Machu Piichu and came back with many excellent photos. Over the 4-day hike, My DSi waas used more often than my real camera due to longer battery life, shorter start-up time, and the speed with which it takes shots. I used it to help frame some great photos, and help determine if it was worth it to pull out the big guns for a far-off scene.
All in all, the DSi is a hell of a lot of fun. For taking people of my own face, the tiny resolution is more than good enough. There is no way my ugly mug needs 10 megapixels. That is just silly.
I call that BS JayVe, unadulterated BS
This gadget is about as cool as replying to your own comment, saying exactly the same thing.
Maybe you should re-read those two comments.
finally i can get rid of my canon mark 5d II this puppy should be enough from now on .. right? :) i wonder how many dsi games did they offer her to pose for these pics...
OH MY GOD THAT SHEMALE HAS NO BELLY BUTTON!
CLONE?!?
JESUS CHRIST! They're cloning shemales now?!?!?!?! LOOK AT THE WRISTS!!!!!
Dude, she really doesn't have a belly button. Wtf?
Someone went crazy with the air brush.
She has a belly button in the picture where she is facing forward. Very subtle though.
shemale? wrists? i don't know where to start...
you are all picky picky people when it comes to women even though you don't have any social interaction beyond cyberspace or the inflatable doll under your bed.
Come now don't talk about women like ya'll know anything about them. lol
ew gross. look at those scary press-on nails, too - no don't.
Sha boing, boing, boinnggg!!!!
Why don't they make one for the iPhone?
They do :P

Finally, I can throw away this pesky Rebel xti
I'd say that this is no dumber than lens add-ons for the iPhone.
finally a zoom lens that looks pocket size!!
What camera?
c'mon peops
$24.99? is that the price for the gadget, or are those her rates?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
+1,000,000 for you sir!
judging by the way she looks, i'd say both.
Haha, I love how it says 'Made in China' on the front of the lens.
Must be a fake, if it was really chinese it would say made in PRC :)
For some reason she makes me think of the line "Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
She needs to be far hotter to convince me
Not even this "attractive" female can make me buy one.
(That is not taking into account how ugly and/or useless this is)
ridiculous product is ridiculous
LATFH
i'd hit it
She's actually quite pretty
if you wash that make up and look at her face you'll turn into stone
i bet she's pregnant
i am not convinced about this product....i will need a lot more visual samples of the product next to models for a scale view
she's fat.
I would love to show her my wide angle ZOOM tool!
wow. jem and the hologram earring!!
