Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker screen cleaning strap, the latest awesome unlicensed accessory from DealExtreme. Just $2.16! Also available: Sonic, LittleBigPlanet, GTA Chinatown Wars, Harvest Moon, and Nintendogs.
No idea if there would be any unforeseen side effects from buying a knockoff phone strap. Although it’s morbidly funny to imagine it smearing some kind of residue on your screen or bursting into flame, it’ll probably just fall apart after a while.

The best game you’re not playing right now (unless you’re also not playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii).
Maestro is a lot more fun than I anticipated, and I had very high expectations for the rhythm platformer when I popped the cart in, especially after watching these gameplay clips. Unfortunately, it’s only out in Europe (with no U.S. plans announced yet), so you’ll need to import the title from some online retailer if you want to see how great it is.
Also, how awesome is my Game Center CX charm? (previously seen in this post) Thanks, JC!

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva straps, featuring Professor Layton, young Luke, Flora, and new character Remi. Complete sets will ship from NCSX in December for around twenty bucks.
I’m just glad to see some Layton stuff actually being available. There was a booth full of Nintendo toys at TGS, displaying these awesome Layton plushes, which weren’t actually available yet. How great would it be to have a tiny Layton patronizing you and chiding you for not being gentlemanly?

It’s kind of dumb to buy a $20 DS accessory kit just for the Mega Man screen-cleaning strap, but now that GameStop has shaved $5 off of the DS Lite Mega Man Star Force 3 kit, it’s … kind of slightly less dumb. But that’s what I do here: talk about bad purchasing decisions that I usually don’t actually make!
The DSi version appears to be sold out online — I can’t tell if it’s been dropped as well.
It’s not an entirely terrible purchase, as it comes with a case, stylus, storage for three games, etc.

Did you fall in love with the Crime Scene Chalk Line Screen Cleaner Strap, which puts a “Horrible Crime Scene on Your Cell phone”? Great news! Strapya’s US site just put it up for sale for $6.42 — a price that is more reasonable than anything else related to this thing.
If, however, your tastes tend toward Pokemon-branded safety items, you can get both the “security buzzer” and a reflector strap, decorated with your favorite Pokemon!

Crime Scene Strap. For when you want a little… murder scene… on your phone or DS. I say “little,” but it’s about 3 inches long. This thing would be so wrong it must be right, except it’s too wrong for that. I kind of love it. It includes a blood-puddle screen cleaner, so it’s practical.
Strapya of Japan is selling this ridiculous thing for 580円 ($6). Unfortunately, Strapya’s US site doesn’t seem to offer it, though I did find these Pokemon Security Buzzers when I searched for it. “Pull down a monster ball dangling from a security bell, it makes 120 decibel beeping sound,” according to the product description. “Pokemon security buzzer will save you and your kids from violent crimes.”
Gyakuten Kenji phone straps. On the left, the Blue Badger strap, which is available now from e-capcom.com. On the right, the awesome Steel Samurai strap, which is super-unavailable: not only is it part of the gigantic, overstuffed limited-edition for the DS point-and-click spinoff, but it was an early reservation gift that is no longer being offered.
HOLD IT! (so you don’t drop your phone)
