What do I mean?

Just Cut it off! (warning! picture is 401KB)

You can still press it if needed.
You DS will sit on table stable after you cut it off. :-)

How'd you open it up btw? i heard that the one screw isn't the only thing holding it together.

True. There are four tiny plastic pieces holding it (inside the cart). They will easily broke if you are not carefully enough.
Use small screw driver and fold from the sides of the cart.. it should open.

Ohh, and if you broke it there is one thing that could help, it's name is glue. ;)

Damn! That pic of the back, showing that the DS sitting down doesn't hit the button.. very nice looking close up pics! Great job.. Any tips for us that try to get pictures as nice as yours?

I tought there should be some reason why ppl should cut it off. I needed to take almost hundred pics to get something sharp enough. Haha. :D The biggest problem was lightning.. it's not good thing to use the flash at all, because it makes reflects.. sun is better light (if available).

For my oppinion they are not as sharp pics as they should be.
I use my Canon Powershot SD550 to take pics. I also take nature pics for my hobby, it's very pleasing.
