How to Make GBA Covers

Gameboy Advance, GBA, is a handheld gaming system produced by Nintendo that gained popularity when it was released in 2001. Gameboy Advance users can make their own covers for their Gameboy Advance to help protect the surface of the game system, cover imperfections, such as scratches or marks, or just decorate their Gameboy Advance. A decorated Gameboy Advance turns an ordinary game system that looks like everyone else's into a system that reflects the personality of its owner.
