No love for the thumb strap

meh, I never use my thumbstrap, I don't even have it attached to my DS!  :lol:

Where the *$&* can I find a replacement thumb strap, somehow mine has some sort of indent or scratch on it which I believe is why my touchscreen has slight scratches on it, so I am forced to take a break from games like MPH until I get a screen protector or a new thumbstrap.  I was hoping that third parties would come up with some nice variations of the thumbstrap as I find it immensely better than the stylus for games such as MPH.  So its quite dissaapointing that I cant even find the original nintendo supplied one anywhere even on ebay.

I'm sure there are ways to make your own or find other products you could use, has anyone come up with anything on this. I know there is a flexible stylus that wraps around your thumb, I am concidering buying it if there are no alternatives.

Well no never checked the official nintendo site, just ebay, somehow I figured if its not sold on ebay it dident exist. :roll:

I'd still prefer to buy off ebay... but I guess this is where to go for the nintendo strap, I'd also still to prefer seeing other (hopefully) improved variations of the thumbstrap accessory, oh well. I couldent beleive they shipped the lites without it... I suppose I am in the minority that uses the strap whenever possible.

Anyways thanks.

I tried this kit, and:
1- screen protectors are now in the trash, hard to fix it without bubbles (was my first attempt to use a screen protector, maybe it;s my fault)
2- stylus are not good replacement, they don't "slide" well on the screen...ok in games like point blanc, but dont play mph with them
3- thumb strap seems to be too sharp.   I alreasy scratchd my phat ds with a IPAQ stylus, and I really dont like the feeling of this thumb strap on my lite...(without the screen protector)
