Broken DS game cartridge.

Hi. My little one forgot where she palced her valuable DS game and 2day after weeks of looking, we found it, alas the plastic case broken, but the innards intact.
Is there anywhere I can get a new "outer" bit, you know the dark grey bit which with the sticker of the game on?
I've one game (New Zealand Story !) I could "dismantle" if it's possible to open a case with out breaking it.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Re: Broken DS game cartridge.

One alternative is to buy a cheap game and use that case. Had a quick look around and cheapest I could find is £7.43 here.

Re: Broken DS game cartridge.

Thanks partyweb. I already got a cheap game, just can't see how to open it up without damaging it. Any more ideas?

Re: Broken DS game cartridge.

Just to let you all know I finally got it done. I prized it open from the slotted end them slid my nails down the side to lift it open it from the slotted end.
Left the back end fully on (clam style) and swopped the game chips over.
Just played Animal Crossing for the fist time in months, didn't realise how much the scenery would change.
Oh, the game consigned to eternal non existence? "New Zealand Story Revolution", got it for £5 from Tesco!
