  Step 1 Create 2 retangles with the Rounded Retangle-Tool, one smaller then the other, no matter what color;

  

  

• Step 2 Add this layer-style to the top-most retangle;

  

  

  

• Step 3 It will look like this;

  

• Step 4 Do the same with the lower retangle, but this time, REVERSE the gradient;

  

• Step 5 Now comes a hard part;
  Create a small orb with the Elliptical Marquee-Tool and fill it with black;
  Select the Move-tool and press ALT+[arrow-right] until the bar is long enough;
  After that, merge all the orb-layers until you have 1 solid bar-layer;

  

• Step 6 Give it the same layer-style as the lower part of the DS;
  Do this by right-clicking on the DS-layer and select copy layer-style;Now right-click on the bar-layer and click paste layer-style;

  

• Step 7 Place it like this;

  

• Step 8 Cut 2 ratangles out of the top of the DS;

  

• Step 9 Create a rounded retangle, fill it with black and DUPLICATE it;

  

• Step 10 Place each one above the top and the bottom of the DS;
  Press CTRL+G on each layer;

  

• Step 11 Give it this Inner Shadow and lower the opacity to 70%;

  

• Step 12 The results:

  

  

• Step 13 Now get a medium-gray and start adding small orbs around the screens, and give them the same layer-styles as the indented screens;

  

• Step 14 Add 2 half circles on each side of the top;

  

• Step 15 Add 2 half circles on each side of the bottom;

  Note:STRETCH THEM AS YOU DID WITH THE BAR!

  

• Step 16 Add 2 BLACK squares as the real screens;

  

• Step 17 Use the stretched-bar-technique to add 2 small gaps;

  Note:AGAIN, USE THE SAME LAYER-STYLE AGAIN!

  

  

• Step 18 Add some medium-gray circles and give them a different layer-style;

  

  

  

  

• Step 19 Add a Dpad and give it the same style as the previous layer;

  

• Step 20 And you’re done…
