There comes a time and a place when we feel the need to give a little affection to our handhelds. But while glass plated touchscreens and rounded hardware corners are a little tough to love, the hand-made plush consoles of French crafter Marine Beloir are made for embracing.

To choose a favorite between the colorfully embroidered New Super Mario Bros. scene on her DS plush and the tiny stitched green Tetris blocks falling across her Game Boy is difficult at best, and naturally it would be hard to imagine any Apple fan not wanting to dotingly push the felt app buttons of her iPhone.

But beyond the soft hardware, Marine’s plush works are quirky, adorable, and deserved of attention, regardless of whether or not Zombie Cat actually actually sneaks a debut mutant appearance into House of the Dead: Overkill.
