![TPU Duraflexi Cover for New Nintendo 3DS LL [Japan Import]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51C3e8GKEhL.jpg)
Thanks for this. What we should all do is submit these fred meyer links to amazon. You can do this by scrolling down the page to this area, and submitting the link. If we all do this together, I think we can all get a price adjustment via amazon. This is better for those who don't want to create a FredMeyer account, or people like me, who don't have a FredMeyer in their vicinity.

As a fellow owner of the Zelda 3DS XL, I highly recommend that you get the Hori TPU case and some screen protectors to go along with it.
No matter how careful you are, your 3DS is bound to take some degree of damage eventually. This case does an excellent job of protecting it from normal bumps and wear (it won't do much if you drop it, but that hopefully wouldn't happen) while still showing off the design. Screen protectors are just good to have.
An additional note: I also suggest getting some sort of cleaning cloth to put between the two screens when you close the system: the bezel on the touch screen will scratch up the top screen.
Here are the links for anyone interested:
And finally I ordered through Zen Market because hardly anyone shipped to my country
Yeah. My girlfriend encountered that problem. Yoshida's signature slightly smeared when she put it in her bag.
Nintendo 3DS XL Duraflexi Protector - Clear by HORI I protect my 3Ds XL and signatures with this, and I highly recommend it.
Alternatively, you can go to a hobby shop, and buy a mat clear coat finish for model painting.
It is actually a headphone case. I like it better because of the pocket so things don't move around as much. Also it is padded, less noisy, won't scratch, has a zipper, and in my opinion, feels better. Here is the exact one I got, but there are millions of other ones that are different shapes and colors.
Some other things that are notable:
And sorry if you're wondering, but I don't know what kind of knife that is.
DO NOT use clear nail polish, it will just ruin the surface of the DS. Rather than that, just get a crystel DS case where your DS stays protected, and looks good and clean! ;)
Here is a link!
EDIT: And yes, I do own this case and it has kept my 3DS in perfect condition for about a year now!

That's what I use. Nice soft touch finish and can hold 2 games in the back.
Hands haven't cramped even in the 24 hour straight session I had a few weekends ago.
The MHX one is kinda meh, especially for the cost.
The Amazon-exclusive steelbook is still available for $89.99 (cheaper than GS of you have Prime).
https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Steelbook-Nintendo-3DS-Amazon-Exclusive/dp/B01IBZKJBK/
You can buy the NFC Reader for the old 3DS so it can read amiibos :)
I highly recommend this one if you can find it and have a new 3DS XL:
https://www.amazon.ca/Cyber-Gadget-Rubber-Coating-Nintendo/dp/B013JDH8J0
I recommend this case.
This
I'd ask your sister what happened (and never let her borrow your stuff again...)
If all else fails, use a circle pad cover.
https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Premium-Slide-Cover-Clear-Black/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=pd_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RWYRFQR2Z807PN97881A
You could probably get by with a 16 or 32 gb card. Maybe even 8. Your son probably won't be doing much downloading of digital games. Unless you want to steer him in that direction, so you don't have to worry about him losing the game cards. If that's the case, spring for 64. Trick the bitch out with all the bells and whistles. But by the time he would get to an age where he would be downloading on his own, the 3DS will have long been phased out.
Go for the HORI screen protectors. They don't leave any residue when you take them off if they need to be replaced.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Screen-Protective-Filter-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7T8TK
Also may want to spring for some kind of 3DS console protection. I went for the HORI duraflexi, but you may be able to find something out there that offers a bit more protection, since your boy is 7 and 7 year olds tend to be rough.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y
Your kids gonna shit himself when he sees this gamer package. Way to go dad!
As far as I know, US has the Amazon Exclusive steelbook dual pack: https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Sun-Moon-Steelbook-Dual-Pack/dp/B01IBZKJBK/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1468605169&sr=1-1&keywords=pokemon+sun+and+moon
You get both games and a steelbook featuring both Lunala and Solgaleo.
You can totally buy the AC adapter first-party: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-AC-Adapter/dp/B00L59D9HG/ref=pd_sim_vg_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0G199HEY83WPF1K3XFYN
I get why they aren't including it (to save $10 off the initial price,) and as someone with 3 adapters laying around already, I don't really need another one. But I totally get the frustration too.
Why not get a case like this?. Won't be so permanent.
Here you go!
I am a paraplegic and get the exact same pain with handhelds. Grips have been a lifesaver! I tried skull & co.'s kickstarter grip and a cheap rubber one off Amazon before sticking with Satisfye's Switch grip. I have big hands and it was the only one large enough to comfortably play with. Edit: They JUST launched all new products but I have their OG Switch grip.
I have other branded grips for my N3DS XL and Vita, but forget what they are (I think they're Japanese brands I found on Amazon), and they're comfortable and work great.
I suggest buying a handful off Amazon to try out and then keep the one that works. They're all made slightly differently so you wont really know until you have them in your "grip" :-) .
Good luck!
Edit: I found the exact grips in my Amazon purchase history (all from Amazon and I live in the states).

I struggled a lot trying to play video games when I was first having serious trouble with my hands. I don't know your genre of choice but mine have always been MMOs and turn-based strategy. I agree with /u/SixJointsOfPain that once you're on some sort of DMARD you will likely feel better soon, but until you do here are some of my favorite ways to ease hand stress while gaming with arthritis.
I hope this was at all helpful and not just a lot of reading for no payoff. :x I also hope you feel better soon. When I quit WoW four years ago I thought I would never be back but I'm literally logged in right now on my healer in the window behind the one I'm typing this comment in. Modern medicine is amazing.
If you want someone understanding to commiserate with on bnet (I think I saw some Overwatch in your post history lol) I'm eiridel#1620. This goes for anyone who reads this comment, but please just let me know who you are when you friend me lmao
So to recap:
o.O
EDIT: I'll let /u/lbabinz fill in the missing links when they find them ;) (you're awesome :D)
I have big hands.
http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO
I can't recommend this enough.
I can go for as long as I want because of this. Get one!
Just over-payed for this grip from Japan.
I'm in the U.S. but I'd like to have this as I kick back for my first session of Majora's Mask next month. A bit pricey, but at this point I'm just bleeding money, so why stop now?
Note the difference in where the grip attaches to the New 3DS (front corners and one clip in the back) as opposed to the standard 3DS XL grip). The slot on the front won't be blocked, nor will access to the stylus.
Just wanted to let you guys know that if these exist already in Japan, it's probably only a matter of time before they're over here, and for much cheaper.
There is always the Circle Pad Cover.
Price is $39.99 at Amazon.
If you have Costco nearby, you can get it for $34.99, also they have Pokemon Omega/Alpha pre-orders for $34.99 too.
I use this one. Works great for me. My hands are on the larger end and used to cramp like crazy playing without a grip. They have a slightly rubberized texture to help you grip and conveniently has a cart holder slot for two games, as well as a little kickstand to prop the console up. Highly recommended.
Wash hands before playing, don't eat while you play, keep it in a hard pouch/case, use a screen protector, clean using a microfiber cloth, don't do stupid stuff like jam a coin into the circle pad to hatch eggs in pokemon.
For example, I use these for pouch / cloth / screen protector: https://smile.amazon.com/HORI-Hard-Pouch-Nintendo-NEW-3DS/dp/B00RZ7TC82
cloth: https://smile.amazon.com/Zeiss-Jumbo-Microfiber-Lens-Cloth/dp/B008PNNY02
screen protector: https://smile.amazon.com/HORI-Screen-Protective-Filter-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7T8TK
edit - to add to this, I personally wrap my 3ds in the microfiber cloth before putting it in the pouch
It's a Cyber Gadget grip, imported from Japan. It is SO comfortable. This is the original version (the newer version has shorter grip handles).
https://www.amazon.com/Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL-Original/dp/B013JDH8J0
Grips are a must for portable Monster Hunter-ing. I have the Satisfye grip for Switch (and just pre-ordered their updated version).
It's the Cyber Gadget new 3DS LL grip.
https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Gadget-Rubber-Coating-Black-Nintendo/dp/B013JDH8J0/
I got you man, order this one from Amazon. It says LL but that is Japanese for XL, the circle pad pro isn't region locked so all you have to do is put the battery in it, then snap your 3DS XL into that bad boy and change the controls in game to allow the CPP and you are golden.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009LGO88E/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_fsy3tb13R7WTJ
Or this one: Monster Hunter 4 3DS LL Pouch (emblem)
Super Smash Bros. is also 25% off with the card.
This. is the case I am talking about. Very happy with it as I wanted something a bit rubberised and not hard plastic. This is still a little firmer than I wanted but it does the trick. I also wanted something clear as I really liked the 3DS XL I got (Gold Zelda edition) so the fact that it was see through was a big plus. I don't know how well it will protect from a drop as it is very form fitting but it protects the finish and offers a little bit better grip. If you have bigger hands get this case!
I can't link the hard shell zipper case that I got as I got it in store and can't find it online but it is your standard hard shell case with a little padding in case you drop it.
I've used this, which is similar and very comfortable.
I think I can do that for ya, honestly. I also have, for the left joystick, little caps that make grip better if that interests you too. Maybe private message me I suppose, get this goin!
Edit: and no purchasing, they're so silly cheap, I got it n the postage etc..
Edit 2: This is the left joystick cover, could hook you up with one of those. I honestly love it. Long gaming sessions are perfect for this seemingly simple and pointless lil' grip.
Edit 3: And this is the c-stick replacement. Someone else linked it above as well, but yeah, the psp-1,000 joystick or whatever. Works really great.
Edit 4: Since I'm really gettin down on all this N3DS speak, I'd like to share this as well. My goodness, it makes gaming 1,000x better. Since the grips are not directly under the 3DS, and they are almost basically on the sides, it makes it feel like a legit, comfortable ass videogame controller! (In the vein of an Xbox or PS4 controller) With how I said the grips are on the sides, it makes it not feel so damn cramped like some of the other N3DS grips can. It's seriously so, SO worth the $15 bucks.
HORI has the easiest to apply Screen Protectors and best case available. The case is soft so you don't have to worry about scratching the clam shell itself.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Nintendo-3DS-Screen-Protective-Filter/dp/B008HPAXZ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+screen+protector+xl

Prime Now has it, if you have Amazon Prime.
https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B00L59D9HG?m=A1VPEJV7O66L91&qid=1481134974&ref_=pn_sr_sg_0_img_A1VPEJV7O66L91
They should deliver to the Hosptial, they deliver to my work .5 mile away.
For both N3DS and N3DSXL systems
Some of these can also be found from retailers online, like Best Buy and Target. I generally use Best Buy, Amazon, and eBay, but check other retailers just in case.
Case: Looking for a protector that protects your system from scratches? Most people recommend the HORI TPU case. NA currently has one for the XL (LL in Japan), but you'll have to import one for the standard size.
Looking for a pouch to keep your system from dust or to carry on-the-go and protect them from falls? There's sooo many options you can just search up on Amazon and eBay, not to mention other Japanese import sites.
Screen Protectors: Screens will inevitably get scratched, as careful as anyone can be. If you're someone who cannot stand scratches or want to keep your system in perfect condition, you can't go wrong with screen protectors.
Micro SD card: Can't go wrong with Sandisk, and I purchased the 32GB since that's the highest Nintendo says the system will support. Any higher and you have to format it to FAT32 in your PC so the system will recognize it. Any good brand will be fine though, but I just go with Sandisk all the time.
Stylus: This DSi stylus is so damn comfortable. I never thought it mattered because I just put up with the cramping, but I purchased some items on the Nintendo Online store, so I went for it. It's all I use now. The cheapest shipping is $5 on the store though, so go for it when you're ordering other items with it.
Customization?
For N3DS
Coverplates: Amazon.JP if you have a forwarding service like Tenso. I like AmiAmi, but it's hard to catch the plates sometimes. PlayAsia tends to be more pricey, so sometimes you're better off just looking on eBay if your last resort is PlayAsia.
For N3DSXL and N3DS
Charms: Basically the same as the above. Many options around Etsy, just search what you want up. Up to your discretion. :)
Overall
Yeah, I'm a HORI fan. Their products have been solid for me, so I have no qualms with them. I just wish more of their products would appear in NA so shipping times would be shorter, but I think the wait times have been worth it anyway.
I had that. I tried 3 grips and this one worked best for me. Life changing, I can play for hours on a plane with no discomfort.
I'd recommend abandoning the CPP for this if if fits your model: https://www.amazon.com/3DS-Monster-Hunter-Extended-slide-Nintendo/dp/B00LVRXS8C
If you are ok with spending money this Grip might be an interesting solution
The NDS and 3DS use what's called Resistive Touch Screens, and is able to be used with any hard enough surface to press the two active layers together to register the touch. You can use the back of your fingernail tip as a stylus in a pinch on these types of screens.
Modern smartphones and the Switch use Capacitive Touch Screens that require either the flesh of your finger, or a compatible material to be able to activate the touch sensor for those screens.
https://techexplainer.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/resistive-vs-capacitive-touchscreen/
The differences in the technology show why the styluses look so different. This stylus does a great job of showing off both types of stylus nibs. At the bottom of the picture, the black plastic pointed nib on the right is a stylus type for Resistive screens, and the soft rounded nib on the left is for Capacitive screens as it needs to simulate a finger to work.
As long as there's a small enough point for an accurate reading of where you're poking the screen, covering with microfiber is a great idea if you need to protect your screen. I'd still recommend screen protectors in any situation though.
I experienced heavy strain with my New 3DS - that thing just isn't all that comfortable to hold. I bought a grip like this one and I haven't experienced and discomfort since. I highly recommend getting something like this if you play a lot on your 3DS.
I bought this which helped immensely: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013JDH8J0/ref=pd_aw_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=X16PD9H48R754M6QWBA0&dpPl=1&dpID=61k5klyey5L
This is similar, and costs much less: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JDH8J0
I really like this grip. It's super easy to attach/remove and fits comfortably in my hands. Also it can store two cartridges inside a compartment on the back of it, which is pretty neat.
Edit: My issue was slightly different than OP's. I would get really bad wrist pain while using my 3DS and this alleviated that problem. I'm not sure if it would be helpful for OP's issue, but thought I'd link it since I ended up buying 3 different grips and this was the most comfortable one for me.
I use this one http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-x30FB-x30E9-x30D0-x30FC-New/dp/B00OTEMTD4
I find it to be very comfortable in the hand.
Those cheap Chinese ones are terrible. The two I bought were barely being held together by the dozen screws in it. Cyber gadget makes a pretty decent grip, but it's quite a bit more expensive. I find that it is much more comfortable than the cheaper versions and has some game storage in the back as well. Amazon
As far as cases... If you want a case to hold the 3ds with the grip installed, the NES classic case is awesome. Just trim out the thin strip of foam in the middle and the gripped console drops right in. Even has room for a charger too! Amazon
Hope that helps!
Hopefully you're in the US, this is all I could find. Best of luck!
http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-x30FB-x30E9-x30D0-x30FC-New/dp/B00OTEMTD4
Jayzus that looks tough...
I would recommend that anybody reading gets screen protectors beforehand. I recently got some for my Switch and wished that I had been cautious with my 3DS.
https://www.amazon.ca/HORI-Screen-Protective-Filter-Nintendo/dp/B00RZ7T8TK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499801052&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+screen+protector
This is the best case for usage all the time.
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y
It's not bulky so the system will still fit in most external cases as well. Plus it's clear so you can still see the design of your LE system.
>I've seen those plastic things that go over the pad, but you can't close your DS with one on!
Mine is a Cybergadget Circle Pad Cover (slim type). I can close my N3DS XL perfectly with it.
https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-x30FB-Premium-Slide-Cover-Clear/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=pd_sim_63_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=51gRgGou0uL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=X9B0YNGBJJSAT3HJFJBR
would that help?
If your hands are cramping up (like mine always have when playing handhelds), you might want to look into a grip. This one in particular has helped me so much with being able to play my N3DS XL for more than 25 minutes or so at any given time.
It seems like you're referring to both the size (hand cramping) and button quality. The buttons have never been an issue for me. I like that they're bigger than the Vita's at least.
As far as sizing goes, it all comes down to personal preference. Some will tell you they prefer the portability of the N3DS, the colored buttons, and the slightly sharper image on the screen. Others will tell you that they prefer the XL's larger size and don't mind the decreased portability or the slightly less sharp resolution. It all boils down to what you're looking for in your 3DS experience, I guess. I'm a N3DS XL man myself.
I have personally bought and used these ones, they feel just like a controller and are great for the hands.
I have personally got used to playing without a grip attachment, but generally they are definitely worth it if you get cramps from playing, much more comfortable.
I have the Majoras Mask 3DS XL. Love the thing and spent many hours on it.
I did however recently pick this up and gotta say, its a fantastic add-on for the system.
Also having just grabbed MH4U on the Capcom sale, it will be paying for itself over the next 50 hours!

I just got the MHX Grip. Basically the same thing minus the stand. AMA. I can include pictures!
EDIT: I also own this grip if anyone happens to be interested in my experience with that.
Personally I suggest this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013JDH8J0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469883642&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=3ds+xl+grip&dpPl=1&dpID=51LtOr2vB8L&ref=plSrch
It's a nice grip and has a little door on the back of it that can store two games. I highly recommend it
I'm using the Dreamgear comfort grip I got it in today and so far have loved it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008XHCLFO?pc_redir=1411724114&robot_redir=1
I've been using this grip since I bought my XL and it feels great for long periods of gaming.
I say neither. I have this, and its great.

I also just ordered this thing, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Do you have the circle pad pro? It honestly really helps alot, and its pretty cheap, the japan version works with any 3ds

Bought these a year ago and they fit fine, I don't use PAL but it should not be different. Strange.
Edit: I got this one, actually https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C1XYUY6/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_IhqNxbEG6K1T7
Works fine, I hated the concave thumb stick, works perfectly for my n3ds
Hori TPU like everyone has said and will say
Depends on which one. Here is one i got off Amazon which is frosted. Don't hate it, but wish it could be clearer.

Amazon with steelbook
Walmart with figures - not available yet (Nov 28) - I'll update when they appear
BestBuy with 200 pokeballs
Worth noting that these all seem to be exclusives and similarly priced. Also worth noting that the likely reason behind this is that retailers are reporting that Pokemon Sun / Moon are essentially selling like hot cakes ;).
Sad part is, I want them all LOL
I've been going overboard with accessories. Here's what I picked up so far:
Glass screen protector - Just in case.
128GB microSD card - I rarely buy physical games
Pro Controller - I love it. So comfortable.
PowerA Hybrid Case - I basically use this as a stand for my Switch when I'm on the go.
JDeal portable dock - It works. Make sure to follow the instructions. Works with my Nexus5x 5v 3A portable charger.
[Retractable HDMI cable] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019J96PSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Hestia case - The Switch with the PowerA Hybrid Case, portable dock, portable USB-C charger, and retractable HDMI cable all fit in this.
USB 3.0 LAN Adapter - Faster speeds when on the official dock.
Gooseneck tablet holder - Ultimate comfort. Play while in bed.
Magic NS Wireless Adapter - I had originally bought this so I could use my PS4 controller. This was before I picked up the Pro Controller. It works. There was a recent firmware update that gives gyro support for PS4 controllers and it works well with Splatoon 2.
On the way:
Mumba case - For better comfort/protection while playing in handheld mode.
I have the Monster Hunter Generations N3DSXL grip.
It's big, but comfortable. My only problem with it is that one of the shoulder buttons doesn't feel very responsive, but it still works. Mine was $40, and I feel like it was worth it, especially if you play Monster Hunter. If you have the money and you're looking for a big, comfy grip, you can't go wrong with this one.
its just a problem with the 3ds originally not having any "right stick" if nintendo designed the 3ds to have dual circle pads, it would be one of the best gaming experiences
on mine, I use this along with the psp cap mod
https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Cross-hunting-gear-Nintendo/dp/B016XCSBC2
Feels good for medium and large hands and makes the shoulders feel like the dual shock 2 r2/l2. though only for New 3ds XL models

this too
There's also some great 3ds grips. I'm partial to my Monster Hunter Cross but it's stupid expensive and there's a lot of other options out there for much less that are also more packing friendly. Check Amazon for quick delivery!
Pokémon Sun and Moon also available on Amazon for $30, no coupon needed, with Prime shipping (if you have that)

The steelbook dual pack has both games -- on physical carts -- in a limited edition tin case. The outside has Solgaleo on one side, and Lunala on the other, with a map of Alola on the inside.
Here's the Amazon listing, with pictures.
They do, but I haven't found any reasonably priced ones. Though I haven't looked too hard.
So I have a set of these and it has made marathon playing possible, and comfortable. Maybe you should look into a pair?
I also have a set that had shoulder buttons, but I found it to be far less comfortable, and I only use them for monster hunter.
Enjoy!
Clean your device before you put a shell on it.
Edit: Thats the only way I see this scratching anything.

As others have said:
If you are looking for a cheaper alternative you can just get an older 3DS or the 2DS which is cheaper but lacks 3D and has a different shape. Depending on if she likes 3D (like in the movie theatres) you can just get the 2DS but it does add a different amount depending on the game. Some games don't use it much, some use it a ton. Either will run the game fine, only you would need to pick up one of these (link) if you got the deluxe version of the game that has the plush animal I mentioned. The "New 3DS" line has that thing built in already so you don't need it if you go with that.
This is an amiibo, a delightful new creation from Nintendo that blends both toy and game alike. When plugged into the right games, amiibo can unlock new modes, characters, and features.
Basically they're figures and cards (and sometimes even plush) that contain NFC (near-field communication) chips that can be scanned by the game. There's an entire set of Animal Crossing amiibo that can now be scanned into New Leaf that do various things. A 3DS XL, that you claim to have, needs a special adapter in order to scan amiibo, but a NEW Nintendo 3DS can scan on the bottom screen. They do various things and the latest Direct goes into detail on what exactly they do to New Leaf.
Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_icbsDbQF3Z577
I bought this one about a yea ago. It's an excellent grip, feels comfortable, has a nice smooth rubbery feel and it detaches very easily. Just hold the tab at the back and lift 3ds out.
I've got the blue version of this grip.
I highly recommend it. It makes the 3DS so much more comfortable. Before my hands would cramp after a little bit of time but now I can play for hours with no problems.
The only issue I have is that it makes it harder to fit in a pocket for carrying the 3DS around.
I just recently purchased a Cyber Gadget grip and couldn't be happier. I generally play handhelds while lying on a couch or bed, and the grip improves the ergonomics tremendously.
I have adult sized human hands; without the grip I find that my thumbs are recruited to help stabilize the system which becomes very uncomfortable very quickly. With the grip, the palms of my hands and four fingers do all of the stability work leaving my thumbs free and loose for analog stick input and button presses.
This one works for me
why not this
dreamGEAR Comfort Grip
I just bought this one, and it's great for my giant hands. I haven't tested it with Smash Bros yet, but it's awesome for Mario Kart 7 and Kingdom Hearts. Hope this helps!
The case is from Dreamgear and it's extremely comfortable.
This looks so awesome. I hate having to wait until September 30th for this one to come out.

This is probably the closest you'll get to making it feel anything like a real controller.
They do, and you can get them for under $2

It's not silicone but Hori makes a really nice tpu case
Or you could get yourself one of these!
yes my current charger is off brand, and only used it about 5 times. i just ordered this one which seems to be official but not entirely sure
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L59D9HG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_LlGHzb7VMBSWX
While it shouldn't be mandatory, there are a ton of options out there to make it more comfortable. I bought this grip when I first got my 3DS, and use it or a CPP all the time.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008XHCLFO/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?keywords=dreamgear&qid=1410969636&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
Someone else on this sub recommended this one to me and it's pretty great so far.
Haven't tried that one but I have this: [DreamGEAR Nintendo 3DS XL Comfort Grip] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XHCLFO/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it's fantastic. My hands used to get cramped after long periods but this took care of that issue. Added bonus it protects the 3DS too.
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/product-reviews/B008XHCLFO/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
I had a HUGE problem with the shape of the 3DS, too. While this doesn't make it QUITE as awesome as using a controller, a good grip will effectively do away with the hand cramps. This is the one I got, in case you're interested.
They only have 4 left! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I just bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's actually really nice grip and it gets me in a better habit of having my fingers on L and R the whole time.
If you want maximum protection for your 3DS, the PDP NERF Armor is hands down your best bet. Keep in mind that it does make the 3DS a bit bulkier, but it essentially doubles as a carrying case.
3DS: http://www.amazon.com/PDP-3DS-NERF-Armor-Blue-Nintendo/dp/B005VO5ZU0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1372122295&sr=8-2

If you are generally very good about not damaging your system, and just want to minimize things like scratches and whatnot, I like the eForCity crystal case. It does the job without adding any extra bulk to your 3DS.
3DS: http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Snap--Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B004T0G8O4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372122648&sr=1-1
XL: http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-3DS-X/dp/B0093W7KG8/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372122603&sr=1-1
You can use both sticks to move around and shoot during the sky sections, but it doesn't work that way during ground sections.
It's not really something you need unless you're left-handed. The purpose of the CPP in this game is simply to give lefties a circle pad to use.
The controls are a bit strange and your hands might cramp if you don't hold the system right, but you'll adjust and eventually get used to them.
EDIT: Oh and one more thing. You said you have the XL. The standard Circle Pad Pro does NOT work with a 3DS XL. You have to purchase the bigger "Circle Pad Pro XL", specifically made for the system.
It isn't sold in normal stores, but you can buy it from Amazon here
Circle pad pro, its this battery powered peripheral for 3ds that allows the player to use an extra stick and two extra shoulder buttons. looks like this
Which version of 3ds do you have? If you have an original version of the 3ds or 3ds XL I would suggest the claw pad pro I linked to. It puts an additional Circle pad a little below the L button on the system. Gives you have claw feelings and is way more comfortable at the same time.
I honestly have considered buying an OG 3DS again so I can use it with my American release monster hunter games.Though due to time since release they are getting a bit more spendy.... but it is amazing.
edit: Also could try just the normal Circle Pad Pro. 3DS XL OG 3DS
Hori clear case & screen protectors.
I also use this circle pad cover, it adds more grip to the circle pad.
A few different products like these exist, where you place them over the circle pad. You have to be careful to remove it with each use and to not close the system with them on.
You could also completely open up the system and replace the pad with one of your choosing, like this.
Be cautious of using anything sticky, like bandaids or circles of velcro. Some adhesives leave icky residue that's hard to safely remove.
There's really no perfectly safe or easy solution other than pausing your battle and wiping your hand off a lot. :/
https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6
this is the sort of cover I was speaking of.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002E0B2BK
this kind of grip tape.
I believe that this can be used with a belt.
EDIT: I'm trying to find a picture to prove it but I can't seem to find one so it might not be true.
EDIT 2: There's a ring on the back for clips. Here is the picture for that.
I have an XL with the CPP for Monster Hunter and ended up getting this case: Monster Hunter 4 3DS LL Pouch from Amazon. It is a tight fight but it does hold the XL/CPP along with a few games.

Best 3DSXL case out there.
Nope, no charger is included. That said, you can use any charger in the DS family all the way down to DSi. If you don't have an old one lying around, you can pick one up on Amazon right now for $8.99. It's the "official" charger too! Here's a helpful link: 3DS Wall Charger
I got this locally from where I live but I saw one from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Cross-hunting-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B016XCSBC2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452958910&sr=8-1&keywords=monster+hunter+x+grip
Edit: Just saw the price and HOLY SHIT, it's 3.5 more expensive from where I live. I got mine for $18.
Are there any cheap (at most $30) grips for the N3DSXL like this one? I want one with the shoulder buttons set up like this, but I don't want to spend $60+ on it.
https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Cross-hunting-gear-Nintendo/dp/B016XCSBC2
Ye need one of these. There’s a lot of grip things out there, but I’ve found this one to be the best/most comfortable. Specially if you’ve got big hands
Pokemon Sun: $32.00 after discounts
Link to pre-order
I also preordered the pokemon games, probably always will until they stop deserving my trust. there are not a lot of companies o series that earn that trust thou.
There can be benefits of preordering some times, for example my amazon preorder was for a limited now out of stock item also if the item ever gets a price drop while it's on preorder you get the lowest price available. I've gotten a few games up to 20usd cheaper that way (it may have been a price error but hey).
But I only do it with a few games. I'm not much of a hype guy, I don't even look at trailers, I just wait for the game to come out and see what people think of them.
I want this case but the only problem is there's no mesh pouch on the top half for larger accessories. I'm leaning towards this case.
I have this for the regular pokemon N3DS and can confirm, it's amazing.
Only bad thing is I can't see my beautiful cover plate on the back with it on.
Link for smaller n3ds grip
I bought mine for $19 with prime, but the price and availability of prime changes quite frequently.

I recommend getting a clear dura-flex case for your 3ds, it's not that expensive and allows you to protect your 3ds from scratches and hand sweat without covering up the awesome design. link
You can also find this case just about anywhere in-store too incase you don't wanna wait for shipping.
I assumed the same unfortunately it's quite glossy. All the n3DS XL consoles are glossy finish.
Everyone says good things about the HORI Duraflexi case which is clear.
A little pricier but better selection, you can go with the TPU covers or PC covers from Play-Asia or similar sites like AmiAmi or even check eBay.
Personally I miss the matte finish of the o3DS XL consoles.
Get the clear Hori TPU case, it's honestly the best there is out there.

To be honest with you, if you are the person who takes care of his/her things then the warranty isn't necessary.

Hori has new TPU cases for the New 3DS -- available on Amazon
I loved the TPU case for my "original" 3DS XL, so this is the direction I'm going.
I ordered these grips that you put on the circle pad which prevents thumbs from slipping, and it can be very helpful for intense games like Smash Bros.
These arent the same exact ones I got, but its more or less identical: https://www.amazon.ca/Cyber-Premium-Slide-Cover-Clear/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1502851159&sr=8-2&keywords=3ds+circle+pad

You say he doesn't have a Wii U - does he have a 3DS? If so, those can use amiibo too. Even if it's the original and not the New 3DS, he could still use the amiibo adapter and the current cheapest Mario amiibo on Amazon.
You could also go for the SH Figuarts Mario or the Mario Nendoroid if you wanna go the figurine route.
Just got a 3ds a month ago, this was a must have for me, no more cramps or awkward hand positions.

Would like to tag on to this to say buying a controller grip and if you're using a N3DSXL, replacing the nub with a PSP 1000 series stick will hugely increase the quality of play. My brother owns a N2DSXL and made the same changes. If ripping out the nub makes you uncomfortable, videos on YouTube are easy to find. I do not regret it one bit, the psp stick is a full upgrade from the shitty nub.
In 2016 I bought a N3DSXL to exclusively play Pokemon and to enter the MH franchise. I tried MHGEN first and the barrier of the controls, and Gen's assumption that you're already an experienced Hunter made me quit before I even killed a Great Maccao.
Advice online suggested MH4U was a better entry point to the series, and it 100% was for me. That motivated me to find ways to make the handheld more comfortable for my giant fucking sausage fingers.
To me, MH4U legitimately feels like a full sized game stuffed into a handheld system. I still found myself fully immersed, even with 3ds graphics, which really fly below the radar when you're occupied with the technical mechanics that make this series so addicting.
This Grip is hands down the best accessory I've bought for the new 3ds. Best part is, it doesn't block anything on the 3ds itself! You can close it with it on, access the game slot, charge it, etc.
Couldn't recommend it more personally.
http://www.amazon.com/Gadget-Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1457319690&sr=8-1&keywords=new+nintendo+3ds+xl+grip
I have both and a Vita and love them all. I play a game on the Switch, a game on the 3DS and then a game on the Vita...wash, rinse and repeat. I purchased all three systems around when the Switch came out because I decided I wanted to give mobile/handheld gaming a go. The games on the 3DS are cheaper too than brand new games, but they are a ton of fun.
The 3DS library is amazing and will give many, many hours of entertainment to both of you. The Switch has good games right now as well and also gives many hours of entertainment.
If you get a 3DS XL (although I agree that the New 2DS XL looks great since I never turn my 3D on haha), I would recommend grips like these for longer sessions. Happy gaming!
>Sadly much I love 4U my biggest gripe with it... well, can be simply summed by the fact it's on 3DS and the ungodly bad wrist cramps/aches I've get after a while of playing intensive action games on that tiny boxy console.
If you care enough, Buying a 3DS grip like this one pretty much removes the hand cramps you get from playing on the 3DS for long periods of time. I would know because I dealt with the same issue playing Monster Hunter on the 3DS.
Here you go! New 3DS Grip, not XL
The Amazon reviews are rather positive.
Definitely going to look into it, I got so used to the comfort of my circlepad...
For regular New 3DS, there's this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OTEMTD4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_Jqvryb5YEWMC1
I can't tell you if it's good or not but other people say it's good. Maybe shop around for the same product and you may get it cheaper.
The link provided there isn't a grip, it's a Circle Pad Pro for the original 3DS. You already have a C-Stick on the New 3DS, so it's pointless even if it did fit.
Either https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WU8EEAC/ (which I bought) or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OTEMTD4/ are considered the best ones. There are pros and cons to each.
The first one doesn't have a cartridge slot open to pull your carts in and out, meaning you have to take the grip off to change physical cartridge games. However, it's more comfortable to access the triggers than the second one.
The second one is generally the more popular one despite being more expensive. There's room to carry two extra games in the back stand, and isn't as hard to take off as the first grip. However, the positions of the "fake triggers" can be confusing and uncomfortable for when you do actually want to use the 3DS triggers.
I second this! Here's the Amazon link to it:

There is this grip for the N3DS, but i haven't heard of a Monster Hunter grip for N3DS
Hori is a Nintendo-endorced brand
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Screen-Protective-Filter-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7T8TK
I would just wait until they become available again because these are the very best screen protectors for N3DSXL:

Do you need one? Probably not. It's more down to how much peace of mind you think it'll give you.
I'm usually pretty careful with my devices, but I got a scratch on the top screen from what must have been a grit of something stuck on the microfiber cloth I normally use. The experience made me conscious of how often I wipe down the bottom screen from using the bottom screen with my fingers, and I definitely didn't want to scratch up the bottom one like I did with top screen.
I got the Hori one for N3DS XL, and I like it. It's not noticeable unless you actively look for it, plus it gives me enough peace of mind. Also while I don't plan on doing so, it is removable though you have to do it carefully.
I am extremely pleased with the setup I have to fully protect my Solgaleo/Lunala Black Edition XL.

HORI Duraflexi Clear Protector for Nintendo NEW 3DS XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y

HORI Duraflexi Clear Protector for Nintendo NEW 3DS XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VzFUBbYPQH9F3
This is strictly for new 3ds XL
For body cover, i recommend This gametech soft cover over Hori duraflexi case. the Gametech case has a couple of clips that hook into the lanyard loop holes on the back. If you're annoyed because hori case doesnt really stick to the device, then you're gon love this gametech case. One thing to note is taht the case itself actually has a frost color rather than clear
For the carrying case, I use this Takecase 3ds xl case. It can store up to 8 games in its central compartment. It also has a inner zip storage where you can store a charger and still have room for 5-8 games more. There's a mesh net that holds the 3ds xl on its place. It has everything that I want from a 3ds xl carrying case. There are other alternatives, but they have very snug space, and don't have inner zip storage
For anyone that doesn't want the hassle of installing the Skinomi, the HORI Duraflexi cases are great. Everyone in my house used the previous version for the XL and enjoyed them.
Here is a cheaper alternative on eBay and the same sans extra stylus (styli?).
Also if your don't already have a charger, I suggest USB chargers. I've been using just USB chargers for months now and they are more convenient. Also if you travel alot, there is no issue with power voltages. Official US 3DS chargers will not work overseas.
All current 3DS XL cases should work with the N3DS XL as will screen protectors.
I'm pretty protective of my 3DS/N3DSes as well. I do use a case along with a Skinomi skin protector, that covers the whole N3DS. And it was inside a padded pouch. But it was clipped on my left side belt. Out of the 5-6 years, since my first 3DS, never has this ever happened to me. Sometimes bad shit just happens.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE.
I just bought the same one (except the original XL one). It has a great feel to it, and you can find ones with great designs on it. It's made of silicone, and is soft and flexible, but it keeps its shape. It doesn't add too much bulk to the device, but it seems protective enough.
10/10 would buy again.
I wouldn't recommend putting stickers on your 3DS. I use this case for mine - it protects the 3DS itself, and you can put stickers on it, no problem. I have a hard travel case for my 3DS, and it still fits in no problem.
Please note that the case i linked is for the New Nintendo 3DS XL. But I highly doubt they don't have similar ones for all the other versions of the 3DS.

This cover is also worth purchasing

I've been eyeing this one for mine. I heard good things about their last 3ds case.
That's weird, cause I bought that from Amazon too
Here the link : https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-x30FB-Premium-Slide-Cover-Clear/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
You can buy small grips that go over the circle pad
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UURTXK6/
Think they even have different colors.
This would solve both sliding off your finger due to sweat and will hide the bump that OP has.
I was having a lot of problems with circle pad slipperiness, so I invested in these: Cyber Premium Slidepad Cover. It just sticks to your OEM circle pad with a little bit of double-sided tape. Also five stars.
As a bonus, I'm using the Monster Hunter Cross Hunting Gear grip. It's really outstanding for avoiding Fantasy Life and Kid Icarus Uprising cramps.
Buy these for grip. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UURTXK6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
They just clip onto the top of your circle pad.
I just bought them and they seem to work well for grip. Make sure you put them on CORRECTLY, otherwise they will fall off. I use the one with the dots on my N3DSXL. My circle pad was slippery as well. This is a huge improvement.
Still gotta buy an amiibo reader if you don't have a "new" 3DS. $35 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-NFC-Reader-Writer-Accessory-3DS/dp/B01307Q6ZC. Only place that sells them.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/
I've been using this one for a bit and it feels pretty comfortable to use. It's also got some hidden game storage on the back of it if that sweetens the deal any.
I'd also recommend something like this. Makes it so much more comfortable.
I bought a grip like [this](http://www.Cyber.com/ Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m1E0BbW1J83RD) and its great, I don't play my 3ds without it now. It really helps, specially if you have big meaty paws like me.
I use this. Not cheap, but nicely made and ends hand cramping.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hFswzbQ95P92A 🤔
If you have carpal tunnel issues make sure you pick up something like this when you get your 2DS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2HCJ9YB0QY49W&coliid=I1AB7KFHK6KS0Z
I don't have carpal tunnel but with adult hands it's a pita to hold it without any kind of extra grip. This particular brand is generally considered the best and it makes it so much more comfortable to play for longer than a few minutes.
Hey there! Fellow ex-circle pad pro user. I upgraded to the new 3DS XL from my 3DS XL when it dropped here in NA.
To answer your questions:
>how do you think it compares to the new systems' nubs?
To be brutally honest here, I find the CPP way more responsive compared to the system nub. have really huge hands and found that the nub was a bit tad too small for my taste. But it was still usable and definitely capable of handling the camera changes I needed.
> Which do you find more comfortable?
CPP for sure
> Do you think the nicer screen and better load times are worth the upgrade?
I can tell you right now that the increased performance from the more powerful console is a huge benefit and makes the gameplay and everything much, much smoother. I actually perform way better in hunts because of the higher frame rate. In short - yes it was worth the upgrade. You can always buy a controller grip to ease the lost of the CPP extension (if you're like me and had a more comfortable grip using the CPP). I used this grip for my new 3DS XL and it's wonderful. EDIT: Forgot to mention that the added ZL and ZR buttons for hunter arts are a huge plus as well.
I love the Cyber Gadget 2! People with small hands may find this a bit too big. They have an updated version in the link that's smaller.
The Monster Hunter XX is very well liked by many too.
While there is no Circle Pad pro, what you can do replace it with a PsP1000 Stick. This stick makes the whole 3DS SO MUCH better. It's a completely different and much easier to use. It's also quite easy to do if you already have a PsP1000 stick.
You can also buy this grip for more comfortable holding.
I presume your son has a New 3DS XL, based on the fact that you linked to a grip for it. Here's your other main option for that:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JDH8J0/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687442&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00OTEMTD4&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1QZCX1C632FA3JWVTX11
I would normally suggest getting Nerf Armor if your son is particularly young, but the one for the New 3DS XL is getting a lot of bad reviews because it left the right edge of the system exposed to accommodate the old 3DS XL. It's not very protective or comfortable that way.
I bought this grip and haven't had any problems since: Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL
It also helps me utilize the Z-buttons much more just because of how my fingers naturally fall now.
Here is the product /u/BoisBrule is talking about.
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/
I wasn't sure what it was off hand.
If you really want a big, comfortable feel get the XL and this: LINK I have it and i love it and it makes the 3DS not feel like a system designed for children but instead a system designed for MEN! or WOMEN!
I just got mine on thursday as a birthday gift from the wife and love it. I am burning through xenoblade chronicles until sun/moon come out.
That being said, I do have large hands and I bought and should receive these grips tomorrow. https://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Comfort-Grip-your-Old-Nintendo/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478617358&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+grips
I find the right side controls are perfect, but the left side kills my thumb. With the grips that should eliminate that.
Friend of mine suggested the DreamGEAR, and it looks absolutely worthwhile. I can solve the problem of the covered stylus dock by just holding my stylus in my beard. Win-win! :D
I've found that the bulk of these grips helps to reduce cramping by making the 3ds feel more like a controller. I personally am using one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XHCLFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
With this case, I've found that the L and R are hard are awkward to use, so my plan is to mod the case to use those triggers I've posted before.
This is something i have. slightly more expensive but it works.
copy and pasting my old comment. I currently have this one http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411403059&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=cybergrip This is an amazing starter grip. The rubber coating is amazing and the texture is awesome, it's also very secure. My only complaint was the first time I held this, I held it like a controller, so both my index fingers were on the shoulder rests thinking I was pressing L or R buttons. To prevent from confusing myself, I put my middle finger onto the rest and my index finger onto the actual L button (i did not do this for my right hand) and thats how I would hold it. Now, I recently stumbled across THIS beauty. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171469999857 I'm waiting for it to come in but it looks absolutely amazing. It looks like the perfect grip for smash and I suggest anyone to buy one as well. PS: It's out of stock atm but if they're out of stock, just message them and they'll relist the item up. Thats what I did. GRAB THESE QUICK, THEY SOLD OUT OF 10 UNDER 2 HOURS
These are still $11.50 with free Amazon Prime shipping. Rubbery texture, great hand hold. The L/R buttons are a bit difficult to get to at first, but you get used to it and I have no problems.
They DO block the stylus hole, but everything else is accessible.
http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU
Or try this.
I would say to at least try to get used to the bare bones system first. If it's still not feeling quite comfy then, look into some grips and make sure you get as many opinions as you can. Watch videos if possible, see what it's like in action. Some grips aren't that secure on the 3DS, or may scratch the system.
This is the grip I use. I got it primarily for playing Smash, and I don't use it with every game I play.
I think this is the one you're referring to. It's pretty great. Basically turns it into a Playstation controller.
I have CYBER's 3DS LL grip. It feels good, looks good, and is really comfortable. It's easy to attach / detach and has a little compartment for two additional games. The only thing is blocks is the stylus compartment and that isn't really important anyway.
Unfortunately I can only find one that ships from Japan so you might have to wait a little longer than usual. I highly recommend it otherwise though.
So I've been looking for a grip option for my switch when I'm playing it in handheld mode. I have a grip for my 3ds xl and its awesome (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
So I'm looking for something like this, but for my switch, thoughts on this Mumba grip/case, or have any other suggestions?
Here you go
https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-3DS-version-X/dp/B0093W7KG8
I also have screen protectors I got from Amazon and it doesn't mess up my 3D at all and I don't even notice them. I also ordered one of those hard plastic protective shells for the outside of my XL, which helps with scratching bit time.
EDIT:Here is a link to what I bought, the little packing on the bottom with the screen protectors and the zipper case and the shell for less than 6 bucks.
I have a US 3DS XL. I bought a Japanese Circle Pad Pro for the LL from Amazon. It work's perfectly.
The Japanese import is cheaper.
Circle Pad Pro - Nintendo 3DS LL Accessory (3DS LL Console Not Included) Japan Inport https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009LGO88E/
Protip: buy actual circle pad covers.
Before they were on amazon, I imported these and am still on my first cover.
I even have a second cover on my CPP for when I'm wanting to MonHun on the go.
A ton of grip options + several backups if any are lost/wear away for 8 dollarydoos- I'm still weirded out these aren't a more talked-about/mainstream thing 'round these parts.
Good luck OP!
Here, try these
I have these thumb grips and the gamecube style one is perfect for the 2ds and gives great grip, no complaints (I have used it on the 2ds for a while).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C1XYUY6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The circle pad cover is from this set: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1XYUY6/
This one can hold 2 systems according to some of the reviews. I have it and it can (barely) hold an XL in the CPP, so I believe it could hold 2 systems on their own.
Drop everything and buy this:

wow. that's expensive, but it looks nice.

With the inevitable influx of new people come October 3rd, and especially with the release of the Smash 3DS XL, it might be time to update the FAQ's Case/Battery Pack/Grip thread (there are only 4 parent comments, and all appear to reference the original 3DS)
What are the best clear cases and grips for the 3DS XL?
Based on the little research I've done, the clear Duraflexi protector seems to be the best clear case for the 3DS XL. It protects from scratches, not impact and is not perfectly clear but is probably as good as it gets. Other cases have been said to scratch the 3DS.
Hori TPU case for sure, they are great and wont scratch up the 3ds like other cases. This is the hori tpu case i have, the previously linked case is a harder tpu plastic.
skins you can get lots of places, depends on what you like. I have the zelda 3ds XL and it looks great through the clear hori tpu case, decals/ skins also come though great.
as for flash carts on the 3ds, read this thread from this subreddit
edit for cases
will this still work with one of those Hori clear cases on it? I'm interested in something like this, but only if I can keep it in the case.
Amazon has the official one for $8 but only for prime members
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NFCCOMW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Seems like the price is slowly creeping up.
I use this one which has been great. It has a nice soft touch coating, and room in the back to hold two more game carts. I did buy mine in 2015 and only spent 15-20 bucks on it, not the 40 they are charging right now.
Yeah, I had a hard time with the price, but I was so disappointed with the other ones.
And I justified it by telling myself it's less than half the price of the monster Hunter grip!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016XCSBC2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fOVfAbHBA4K1Y
Too bad they're chunky, doesn't make them exactly portable.
If only this did not cost an arm I would of bought one long time ago.
When I'm talking Pikachu, I'm thinking of a Stuffed Pikachu: https://www.amazon.com/Pokémon-Large-Pikachu-Ashs-Plush/dp/B01GFZT3QK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1511244467&sr=8-7&keywords=stuffed+pikachu
I don't know how he'll react, but I was a 9 year old kid once and having a Stuffed Pikachu was great.
This is the Pokémon Sun that I was talking about in the 3DS https://www.amazon.com/Pokémon-Sun-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B01C93CWU6/ref=sr_1_6?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1511244620&sr=1-6&keywords=pokemon%2Bgames&th=1
The 20% off newly released Games also works up to 2 weeks after the game's launch, you'll get the 20% discount whether you pre-order or buy within the first 14 days of it's release if you are an Amazon Prime member.
This promotion was added to compete with Best Buy Gamer's Club Unlocked which is the same exact discount (20%). If you can't afford or don't want Amazon Prime for a $99 a year, you can go to Best Buy. GCU is only $30 for two years.
Both BB and AZ also apply their discount to amiibo as well.
My Nintendo Tag is Cheddar. If I could receive any game right now it would be Pokemon Sun. My favorite game series as a kid was Pokemon. I grew up watching the show with my older brother, and I saved my money to get a Gameboy and Pokemon Ruby. I took that Gameboy everywhere and eventually started getting some of the older Pokemon games. I sold my Gameboy for some stupid reason and just recently picked up a 3DS and Omega Ruby. It has been great replaying my first Pokemon game and would love to have Pokemon Sun so I can experience some of the changes they have made to the series over the years that I didn't have a DS to play Pokemon games on.
Still not as bad as needing to buy entire systems like you previously implied. I can find copies of Sun for $20.
Or you know, ask for it in GTS, as was my first comment at the start of all of this. Which defeats your whole premise that it costs a huge amount of money to complete the Pokedex.
Missing this one?
Best Deal
https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Sun-Moon-Steelbook-Dual-Pack/dp/B01IBZKJBK
While browsing I found this listing, apparently it is the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon: Official Collector's Edition Guide (Which is 30$ in a separate listing) and includes other stuff. Apparently there are limited quantities and once it's sold out that is it. Thoughts on this, as well as pricing? RIP your wallet if you plan on getting this, in addition to the Sun/Moon Steelcase Book and the Sun/Moon N3DS XL.
Preorder bonuses
Store dual-pack exclusives
Agreed and the discount is an extra plus. The steelbook is back in stock at Amazon for those looking for it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01IBZKJBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481566692&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=sun+moon+steelbook&dpPl=1&dpID=41BY21pui2L&ref=plSrch
Those kind of products are more about convenience than being the best option.
You definitely want a screen protector. The amFilm 2-pack is considered the best around here.
You also want a carrying case. I recommend either the Hestia Goods or Butterfox models. I have the former and love it. The later is the most recommended around Reddit.
Between the screen protector and case from Amazon you're at the same $20 as the starter kit. So you can either get two high quality items, or more lower (but doable) quality items.
This one:
Hestia Goods Switch Carrying Case compatible with Nintendo Switch - 20 Game Cartridges Protective Hard Shell Travel Carrying Case Pouch for Nintendo Switch Console & Accessories, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711K97BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_n1bQAbJK47HAS
It has a bit of an oil/new product smell but starting to go away. The side pouch is awesome, fits the charger I got (both outlet and car charger), headphones, 3d printed stand a friend made me, and two of those thin black things you put on the joycons separately.
i have this grip that i use when i go on longer car rides and whatnot, it has a slot in the back for 2 games plus on in the cartridge slot. i have a couple of the 18-24 game cases at home but i don't like carrying those around with me
Amazon recommended this and MHGen together, so...maybe? I haven't bought it yet.
Cyber Gadget Grip
I had to find it
Play Asia
Seems to be out of stock until June
Amazon In stock, but massively marked up by the reseller.
I've been using it for awhile and it's been great. It's solidly built, comfortable, and the triggers are useful.
The reviews are accurate that it's really bulky though, so it's not going in a pocket or anything. When I travel, I carry it in my work bag, so it's no big deal, but that's about the only big downside that I've seen.
It's 40 bucks on amazon now. Ships from Japan so it will take awhile unless you pay more.
This one.

I think you need a grip. I have a NN3DSXL and I use this grip:

It makes my DS just as comfortable as an XBOX 360 controller. Its a little expensive now though.
This one is priced pretty well and its super comfy. I used it before the XGear
http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Comfort-GRIP-Protection-your-Nintendo/dp/B00UJ9LB6Y/ref=pd_sim_63_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41YTAgSfpML&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=09KBYP97GKZHT6HWYKDW
Check amazon, they sell these third party attachments that look kinda like the Switch Joy-con holder that give the system some girth. One of them is Monster Hunter branded, so you know it's meant for extended play sessions :)
Edit: Now with link.
This is the best one IMHO:

The Amazon reviews are bashing the crap out of it though, 2.5 stars out of 5. I'm still looking for one that'll cost cheaper.
You can buy the MHX version without the stand on amazon.
Why does Amazon say that it will release on Dec. 30 though ? Is that just them not having updated yet ?
Amazon has it for $31.99.

Very nice collection! I've only just started into collecting Pokemon games myself since finding all the Gamecube and Wii titles for great prices. Now trying to start the seemingly daunting task of getting all the handheld titles
Do you have the special dual steelbook of Pokemon Sun & Moon preordered by any chance?
I picked this up a few weeks ago:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711K97BS/
It's fine. Nothing special, feels slightly cheap (which matches the cost), but it holds what I need and keeps it secure. If I were a frequent traveler or took my Switch with me a bunch of places I would upgrade, but for a once every week or two trip out of the house, it is enough.
I'm trying to decide this myself. Currently my frontrunner is this one, but I could be convinced otherwise if anyone has a case they really love.
heres one with more game card holders and a zipper for where the accesories go for $11.99
Here's a good case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0711K97BS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use this and this and it fits well enough. I can also fit my charger and joycon straps in the zipper part.
Only thing about that carrying case is mine had a pretty strong odor for a while, but it did go away.
I planned to be digital-only, but came across a couple good deals on games that I don't necessarily need/want constant immediate access to ($15 for Lego City Undercover? Why not?). Plus my 200GB SD card is filling up quick. So I've ended up in a kind of "digital-mostly" middle ground. So I'm glad I got a case that holds carts as well. I got this one and it's fantastic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0711K97BS
I guess you could keep multiple SD cards and swap them out for rarely played digital games though.
Thanks!

There’s other colors if you search the name up.
Whats uncomfortable, the console or the stick, cause if it is the consoleyou should just geta grip for it. Cyber has a good one i got and i never take it off now
http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-x30FB-x30E9-x30D0-x30FC-New/dp/B00OTEMTD4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1450015101&sr=1-1&keywords=New+3ds+xl+cyber+grip
Yeah, as far as I can tell I bought this exact one and it is EXCELLENT and I can't use my N3DS without it any more. https://www.amazon.com/CYBER-x30FB-x30E9-x30D0-x30FC-New/dp/B00OTEMTD4
It has this rubber-like matte finish and it kinda holds like a PS4 controller. Only complaint is that it doesn't do anything to address the shoulder buttons- they aren't covered by the grip so they're still tiny and don't have enough give for me. But that's a gripe with Nintendo's design, not theirs. For that reason though, I'm thinking of switching to a Hori grip. Those have these chunky shoulder button overlays.
Grips for regular size New 3DSes are kind of hard to find because in the US you can't even buy that console unless it's a special edition (I got the pokemon 20th anniversary bundle with Red and Blue on VC pre-installed). So of course the one I have is from Japan, but still sold on Amazon's US storefront. Came in a cool looking Japanese mail bubble-envelope.
This is the one you want.
Long term. I use it for Pokémon and Fire Emblem. Link
I have the same 3DS but currently have no grips for it. This CYBER one is 25 dollars but I've heard great things about it. I don't personally own it but have been thinking about getting it for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate as it would just make everything more comfortable. However, the system itself works just fine and is way more comfortable than the standard o3DS with its boxy design poking into your palms. The way the N3DS is rounded out helps a lot with playing for extended periods of time. I do have small hands though.

This is the only brand worth getting, they are officially Nintendo licensed:

Why not something like this which is way cheaper and likely higher quality? It has over 1000 reviews and nearly 5 stars.

I'm planning on ordering it tomorrow when I get paid.
Along with the "New" 3ds xl screen protector preorder here,
The clear case preorder here,
and a 32gb microsd card here :3
Getting all prepped for my MMN3DS too man haha!
if you have an XL
Honestly thought you were being sarcastic at first lol. But yeah if you use it an excessive amount like Pokémon Ranger where you had to furiously draw circles around the bottom screen you can mess it up. I've had the O3DS since launch as well as the Pokémon edition N3DS, crystal blue 2DS, gold Zelda 3DSXL and the black N3DSXL and those screens are in mint condition since the stylus isn't used as much anymore
ALWAYS go for the Hori ones now for all my potables. I used to buy cheap no-name ones but decided to pay the extra one time and I'll never go back.
Fit perfectly, it's very easy to apply them bubble-free because of a smart design and the overall quality is great. They're worth the premium price.

Removing them is not easy, but that is the case for all screen protectors.
Get the HORI screen protectors, they are sold out on amazon but they will be back on stock on March 10, they are worth every penny, easy to apply and if I am not mistaken, they help preserve the anti reflective on the top screen.
I picked up a HORI screen protector.
Hori (a really reliable accessory company) makes screen protectors for the New 3DS and New 3DS XL

I have large hands and have a n3ds xl. It became much more comfortable to hold once I put a Hori Duriflex case on it.
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y
I have the Fire Emblem: Fates N3DSXL, and I think it's beautiful. I had the same concerns as you, so I purchased the Hori TPU case for it. I've been using it since launch, and it's still in perfect condition. I carry it with me everywhere in my laptop bag, it's been on countless flights and business trips, and the TPU case keeps it pristine. The only exposed point while in sleep mode is the hinge, but that's remained in near mint condition. My only complaint with it is the TPU isn't colorless, so it changes my console from white to off-white, but that's a minor complaint. I'd recommend going this route before you buy a second 3ds.
Here you go: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=sr_1_10?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1421692286&sr=1-10&keywords=hori+new+3ds+xl
Definitely the Hori duraflexi case. $12.99 on Amazon. I have one for my New XL and my regular size New 3DS and I love them both.
get one of the clear cases officially licensed by Nintendo.
Or if your problem isn't the device staying in your hands you could try one of these but they don't have an open space to put in cards; not a problem if you slapped a beefy sd card in there and are all digital though.
This works really well. I have one and its working out.

HORI Duraflexi Clear Protector for Nintendo NEW 3DS XL US site, im sure there is one for UK aswell.
This is a clear tpu + you can use the tpu while traveling, and keeping the grip at home with this combo.

Semi flexible, so it won't break if bent.
I recently picked up this one, like it a lot.

I've got this case and its great. Hope this helps
You can get a clear case. They're only $12.99 on Amazon for a great brand. They also give you the flexibility to put whatever you want under the cover to have a "custom" 3DS.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That case is a good choice to take the 3DS anywhere but also I would highly suggest you get a Hori Clear cover just like the one /u/CarolineTurpentine mentioned.
With both cases (the one you ordered and the Duraflexi) you and your son are going to have a 3DS for a long time.

I'm getting a New 3DS XL for X-mas so I was in the same boat as you, on google/reddit/amazon/youtube I was looking to see what I should get. Here's what I ultimately decided on:
And of course charger, usb charger, and a plethora of games.
Edit: Typos 'n stuff.
Hori makes very good clear cases. You can pre-order this on Amazon now.

Got it from here my friend, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_r.3CzbGM9DX26
These are the best ones I've used. They're a little pricey, but they work really well.
I tried roughing the surface on mine as I found games unplayable with the default circle pad. It only helped marginally. The caps are a godsend and the best solution.

Whether or not you have a New 3DS is actually irrelevant, there's an official Amiibo-Reader just for this Scenario.
Just wanted to point that out, is all
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-NFC-Reader-Writer-Accessory-3DS/dp/B01307Q6ZC
With the cards, you can invite more villagers to a home and they will roam around and they can be part of the photos you take. It's a nice little feature that makes the cards a bit worth it.
It's currently 3 dollars off on Amazon if you're interested.
The Japanese one on Amazon for ~$32 (it's not a region locked device), twelve bucks is about the lowest mark up I've seen.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-NFC-Reader-Writer-Accessory-3DS/dp/B01307Q6ZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506525104&sr=8-1&keywords=animal+crossing+nfc+reader
You can also keep an eye out for the Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer Bundle with NFC Reader, it'll pop up on eBay sometimes, but there's usually at least a 20 dollar mark-up from the $50 it went for on release.
The US version sold directly from Amazon is currently $16.99.
I really liked that grip but if you play a lot of games that use the shoulder buttons, I found the finger grips on the back to be a bit too high and puts your hand in an awkward position. That being said, I prefer this model for every game that doesn't the shoulder buttons much.
If you do play a lot of Monster Hunter or games that use the shoulders a lot, try this one Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5le0xbBSRD90R They moved the finger grips a little lower and makes it a more natural grip.
Cyber Grip 2
If your main concern is comfort, I highly recommend a grip. This is the one I have and it is amazing. Extremely comfortable.
Something to think about. Unless you find a person interesting in trading, I doubt you will find any store willing to do a 1 to 1 trade.
I use this one. It's perfect, at least for me.
I use the Hori monster hunter one, but it is massive and pricey. Comfortable though, and sweats better than my other plastic grips.
I'm gonna take a chance on this $8 one from eBay, looks to be one of the slimmer profiles: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-controller-Case-Plastic-Hand-Grip-Handle-Stand-for-Nintendo-3DS-LL-XL-EM/292150547574?hash=item4405879476:g:Ti0AAOSw9~5ZQSS9

I got a grip off of Amazon for like less that 30 bucks. I'm not sure what the company name is but it has very obvious red Japanese writing all over the front of it, just search new 3DS XL grip and it should pop up. I have had about 3 different grips for my DS and this one is by a far margin the absolute best. It removes easily, it allows access to your game slot and stylus, it has false triggers to make holding it very comfortable, the smooth surface is clean and doesn't "gunk up" and is also easily cleaned if it does get dirty. I highly suggest this grip when available. I would try and get a link but I am out to sea (Navy) right now and I cannot get one..

spend the money and get the king of 3DS gaming grips. it is a GAME changer in terms of hand comfort, long term gaming and smash on the go
my only gripe is it loses the ability to pocket the system along with setting it down flat.... but its easy to take on and off AND has cart storage so it offsets. the hinges brake on mine and I'd just buy another it feels so good
https://www.amazon.com/Gadget-Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL/dp/B013JDH8J0
The cyber gadget one is great. The original Hori X one is pretty cool too, and I have used both (my friend got it when first released, and far less expensive).
This one has a very comfortable rubber finish, and fits big hands well. It’s keeps your wrists pointed out at more of a 45 degree angle than the Hori one does, and helps prevent scratching your system (my poor regular 3DS XL got ABUSED by the circle pad pro). Also, features a pocket to hold two cartridges, or use to hold up the system! Very comfy, seats the system well, is excellent and what I use and love.
Drawbacks- no buttons as part of the grip. There are ridges on the back that take getting used to, but still, I said this is a comfy grip. You basically just put your middle fingers across these lower grips. I would LOVE if it had L/R/ZL/ZR buttons, but simply gives you access to comfy access to the actual buttons on the system. This is definitely where the Hori one does better, by providing big triggers on the grip, but this definitely works.

As someone who just recently bought a grip, specifically for playing 4U, this is the one to go with, and is cost efficient and of great quality

Regarding comfort, it's not really heavy feeling, but if your hands are larger than a child's hands, it's not exactly comfortable.

Cyber gadget! Make this for SWITCH ! ! !
I like this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JDH8J0/
Only gripe about it was the card holders in the back had the pins pushed too far inwards and pushed up a label on my Ridge Racer cart. As a grip it works fine though.
These screen protectors and this hand grip work reasonably well as replacement accessories, as the only one made for the GPD XD (that I've found) is the soft case (which is pretty nice). They are not perfect fits, but get the job done.
Also, if you use your HDMI-out (mini-HDMI, not micro-HDMI) you'll want to power the device down, then plug in the cables, then power it back up or you'll have sync issues. You can also close the device while streaming video or games - it won't go to sleep but will turn the device's screen off.
Finally, the apps loaded on the system are all free versions of stuff on Google Play and the preloaded ROM/ISO selection leaves a bit to be desired but is a nice bonus. Anything more powerful than a Dreamcast isn't viable (and even that has performance issues on some titles). Pretty much every Android game I've thrown at it runs well too.
-edit- One last thing - there is no Bluetooth functionality, so have a microUSB adapter (and maybe 4-port hub) handy if you plan to do any multiplayer.
I felt even the 3DS-XL that we bought was a little uncomfortable for my large hands. I like being able to carry the game system in my pocket, but I'm thinking about trying one of these Amazon Link- to Comfort Grip by Dreamgear.
Anyone ever tried this?
I've found the Dreamgear Comfort Grip to be the most comfortable.
I have these and I love them, perfect for large hands. Havent had a cramp since I bought them, well over 500 hours of games with them.
https://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Comfort-Grip-your-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B008XHCLFO
My hands are so big I still need a comfort grip for my 3DS XL.
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_img_y
is that perhaps what you are looking for?
or maybe even one that is even more like a normal controller.
http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1397219618&sr=1-3&keywords=3ds+ll+controller+grip
I use the Comfort Grip for my XL, looks a bit ugly but I feel much safer having it on.
I got one of these. It's ridiculously comfy.
I feel like I have to do that with mine. I bought an over sized case for my 3DSXL.
http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO
It's a great case. I pulled it out at PAX East and my friends thought I was carrying around an N-gage. It looks hilariously too big to carry around but it's comfortable!
I actually have gone through three.
first I got the dreamgear and holding that one worked really well but i didn't like the material so much and it kept slipping off parts of the 3ds. plus it's also geared towards protection which I'm not too worried about so I returned that one
then I tried the cyber one which honestly felt the best overall to hold. I have pretty big hands and it just fit perfectly like an actual controller. But, for me at least the shoulder buttons were really hard to get to. The way my hands fit onto it, my fingers didn't rest on the shoulder buttons naturally, and trying to move them in the heat of the moment wasn't really working out.
so I returned that one, and picked up this one. I actually just got it today so I haven't gotten to try it out yet, but I've heard good things about it, and it seems like the best of both so here's hoping
As a guy with large hands, probably the best purchase I've ever made was this: http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422163206&sr=8-2&keywords=3ds+grip
I remember when I went to the Smash launch event, everyone was saying how much better it felt to hold the 3ds XL with it. I only use the bottom half for mine.

There are so many it depends on what you like, differences mostly being plastic or rubber material. I use the dreamgear grip sold on amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Comfort-Grip-your-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B008XHCLFO ).
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382264908&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+grip

I've purchased both of these products, and my favorite would have to be the 2nd link. However, I have a white version of it that i found on Ebay. The biggest flaw with it would be that you have no access to the Stylus. The first case however is a nice holding case also and you'll have access to everything, but i was just never a big fan of Silicon materials.
I use the bottom of this case when I know I'm going to be playing a while. It makes my 3DS XL much more comfortable to hold for long periods of time. It is a bit bulky on the bottom for the hand grips though. It's relatively easy to take on and off if needed as well.
http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420079948&sr=8-1&keywords=dreamgear+comfort+grip+3ds+xl
I'm using the old 3DS XL grip, but you'll need to carefully cut some holes in the top so it doesn't press the z buttons. Beyond that, I mean, it covers all the main buttons/lights on the body but you don't actually need any of those if all you are doing is playing MH.
This is the one I got, because it was the only one I could find locally. It's great, and only $20

I got this and it fixed all my issues. It's so fucking comfortable and smooth for my big unwieldy gorilla hands.
They do make the triggers "tighter" for lack of a better word. Some people like it, takes some getting used to.
This is the one I got a few years ago. I think there are some newer models out now for the New 3ds. Search up dreamGEAR 3DS XL Comfort Grip and you'll find more results.
I'm not sure about the case in which you are referring, but I got this case and I love it. It's very soft and protective. It's like a smooth yet rubbery case.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XHCLFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm loving it. My hands were starting to hurt after playing a lot. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XHCLFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is the one I have, although there's something different with the one the top reviewer has; mine does have a game card slot cut out at the back, but the reviewer had to cut one out, but they cut it on the front left? This is supposed to be for the "old" 3DS XL, not the new one. It's easy to pull the case off on the right side to get to the sd card, too. It has helped my hands a bunch. And then I dropped it, and realized it was a good idea for that, too. :D The case has made it crazy bulky for carrying around in my purse, but I think it's worth the trouble.
I have the same problem. I bought a comfort grip on Amazon after the thread a few days ago recommended them. It's one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kUxktb0MD36SW
Hope that link works, I'm on mobile and haven't slept all night.
But seriously, that thing fucking rocks.
I have not found a grip that allows access to the stylus, I have searched for hours on end. I use this one though and it is very comfortable http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_3/190-0992999-8062546?ie=UTF8&qid=1394578287&sr=8-3&keywords=3ds+xl+grip
Sorry, I meant to link you once I got on a computer.
I use this one ( I bought it on Amazon for ~$20 but the price has since skyrocketed. I'm sure other sites also sell this).
It definitely adds bulk and weight, but the grip/handle of it far outweighs the cons. Whenever I need to travel with my 3DS I just take it off.
Also the comfort grip and the cyber grip are things I heard good things about. The last one might be Xl only btw...
Edit: Just found the hand grip as well, which seems to be a regular sized 3ds grip.
Edit 2: The Circle Pad Pro is the only thing I have expiernce with. It's great, but a little bulky. When you're lying in bed playing MH3U it'll get heavy eventually. But still, I'd recommend it.
I heard that the rubber gets thin over time and is kinda squishy. I bought this one and it is amazing. Feels exactly like a controller, but is pretty much impossible to carry in your pocket while you are using it.
Yeah, having a good grip for your 3ds can really help cramping issues. If you need one for the XL, I reccomend this: http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU
I've been using it for months, it's great! Though the price seems to have gone up a bit since I last saw it. You may wanna look around and see if it's a little cheaper anywhere else(just search for "cyber grip 3ds")
Aside from this, I don't know what else you should do. I hope you find a way to to play comfortably!
I HIGHLY recommend getting this grip http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1411297699&sr=1-1&keywords=3ds+xl+grip+cyber . I live in Japan so it was only about 10 bucks here, but it's a night and day different, just feels like holding a game controller. Was getting bad hand cramps after about 20 minutes on the demo, picked that up with the full game and I can play comfortably as long as I like. Feels really sturdy, uncomplicated, takes all of 5 seconds to "install".
I don't have a ruler, but my hands are about 1 inch loner than the 3DS XL is long. The 3DS XL is 6.3 inches, so my hand is about 7.3 inches. My Palm size is the width of the 3DS XL, so my palm is about 3.7 inches wide.
None of this really matters in my opinion, because neither of them are comfortable. I tried the 3DS in a store, got cramps. I bought the XL, got cramps. It wasn't until I got a controller style grip for the system that I am able to play it comfortably. My suggestion is that you try them both in stores, see which one is better for you. If they're both bad, get a grip like this. I know there is one out for the N3DS LL now, I'm not sure about the standard size. Other companies make good ones too, but the one I linked is the one I have and trust and it works really really well.
Ok so....I think all of you people who turn it off accidentally are goobers. I don't even see how it's possible to hold the thing this way. THAT BEING SAID. My friend has little tiny baby hands so I got her this http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU and she has not had the problem sense. Good luck, god speed, kill dem damn monsters.
I bought this one. It's worked pretty well for me so far. Only thing is I accidentally bent the bottom tab and it snapped off but as long as you don't force it your fine.
Honestly it feels great but getting it off has thus far been impossible. Dreamgear makes a good one but I think the best one similar to this is this one. The dreamgear one is more like an overall case, and some people say they have to cut the flaps near the l and r buttons. I consider myself a savvy consumer so maybe I just chose poorly here or got a defective one, I don't know.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU?pc_redir=1411971363&robot_redir=1
Yeah I do like it and it is definitely better than no grip but I prefer this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1412205446&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

I wish I could combine the two.

Maybe it's against the spirit of this sub but there's a decent grip available for the 3DS XL https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/ref=s9_dcacsd_dcoop_bw_c_x_2_w. It's not perfect but good enough that I haven't feelt the need to design one myself.
I've only ever used an XL and I highly recommend it. Especially with these grips.
EDIT: I have big-ish hands and those grips have stopped hand cramps for me. If you get craps in your hands from playing for any length of time... those are the answer. It is also convenient as you can carry two games in the grip.
I use these hand grips for my xl. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1417747346&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 I can't imagine using anything else.

The CPP for XL would cost about $20 (As does the CPP for regular 3DS), and right now importing from Japan costs a little over $20, and there's no difference between JP, NA, and PAL consoles in terms of accessories. So there really isn't anything to stop you from getting one.
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-Included/dp/B009LGO88E
If the extra opinion helps, I bought a CPP grip for my friend hoping he'd play 4u. That recommendation failed, but when I tried it out, I found it really ergonomic, and it doesn't have the adjustment period I felt with the cstick. You can pick one up from amazon for $12~. It's the japanese LL version, but the accessory is region free and works with any language 3DS XL.
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-3dsXL/dp/B009LGO88E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393956759&sr=8-1&keywords=circle+pad+pro+xl
Japanese packaging but the circle pad pro is the same. The included club nintendo code only works for the Japanese club nintendo
you can buy both off of amazon for around the same price:
CPP XL
Cradle Charger
they're fulfilled by amazon so if you have prime you can get 2 day free shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-Included/dp/B009LGO88E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421526095&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+circle+pad+pro
This is the one for the older XL models (don't know if you have an XL, but the extra screen size is really helpful for Monster Hunter too) https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-Included/dp/B009LGO88E
Basically just fits around your 3DS and adds an extra analog stick on the right. There's an option in the 4U settings menu to enable it once you get it. It's a godsend.
I thinkkk this is the one for non-XL models, but you may want to do a little more research and make sure https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-Circle-pad-Replacement/dp/B00T5I2RXQ
Save yourself, man!
If you have Prime it's 18 bucks.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LGO88E/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Yeah, the exact one I bought just dropped a bit (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LGO88E/), but seems like we got it at a low point. fist bump
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B009LGO88E/sr=/qid=/ref=olp_tab_new?ie=UTF8&colid=&coliid=&condition=new&me=&qid=&seller=&sr=
Here is the list. Go past the featured sellers and you get to one that is 23.99 and has free shipping from ninja online. will take about 3 weeks to get to america though.
I bought mine from amazon and paid $25.50 including shipping. Let me see if I can find the link to the one I bought..
Edit: I can't find the exact buyer I got mine from but this link shows multiple ones for about 25 bucks and free shipping, you just have to pick one.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B009LGO88E/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
You could try these.
https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6
I don't have them but I have hear good things and you don't need to modify anything. It sounds like what you're after.
I got the grip, but the grip wasn't the only issue for me, I also got [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413385288&sr=8-1&keywords=circle+pad+cover) I shoul be getting them before the endof the week I hope it's gonna help.
I have issues keeping the circle centered without it slipping a tiny bit and making me lose the tilt or smash or dash attack I wanted to make. Hopefully it's gonna help.
These seems to be a good fix actually.

I'm sure you could affix it with some tape or glue dots or something.
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6
These ones?
That sucks. Sorry it hurts your hands.
Also, Check out these Circle Pads for the 3DS. They might help with traction.
I bought this one - Works great, very comfortable
There are more as well.
They have grip pads for the circle pad too
I think it's one of those analog slide pad attachments from Cyber Gadget but I'm not actually sure.
I got nothing for your hand cramps unfortunately, but even before smash I personally found the 3DS circle pad a bit too slippery for my taste. I grabbed some circle pad covers on amazon, and they've been working great:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C1XYUY6?cache=0061feed30983d095ab69c6adb6201f0&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1411248560&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
One's even got the same pattern as the GameCube stick =)
I ended up caving and buying a set of thumb thingies.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1XYUY6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If these don't work out, I know what to try next! Thanks, man!
I ordered it from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C1XYUY6/
I got this pouch: http://smile.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-3DS-Pouch-emblem-Nintendo/dp/B00D84DRNC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_vg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0E3GKB3FNZ90F7SEP03F I fucking love it, it's roomy, and it looks good.
It does if you have one of these. It has a metal ring in the back you can clip a carabiner onto.
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-3DS-Pouch-emblem-Nintendo/dp/B00D84DRNC
Hey guys, thanks for linking the product. It's not like I had to look for it or anything and order my own.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D84DRNC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If you're into monster hunter this is a pretty good pouch.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D84DRNC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has two pockets inside for cartridges, but I found it easily holds a 3DS XL in the hori duraflex shell, a hori 6 cartridge game case, a small microfiber cloth, and the 3DS charger with some room to spare.
You could also try searching Amazon for 3DS LL pouches/cases as the 3DS XL is referred to as the 3DS LL in Japan.

Thanks, OP! If anyone else is wondering
Amazon has SSB for $34.99 as well.
The HORI TPU case is by far the most recommended case here.
amazon link
Try Hori duraflexi case.
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL-Duraflexi-Protector-Clear/dp/B00GX330XW/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1398314175&sr=1-1&keywords=hori+duraflexi+3ds+xl
I was always the same way with handhelds but I decided to take the dive after getting a Zelda XL. Picked one of these up: www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL-Duraflexi-Protector-Clear/dp/B00GX330XW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411183683&sr=8-1&keywords=tpu+3ds. I got used to it very quick and I now prefer it because the amount of bulk it adds actually makes the XL more comfortable in my hands.
Since I have a pretty decal, I use this to protect and show it off. I always have it in my hand, like the girls who hold their clutch purse thingy.
If I'm in a Kingdom Hearts or Monster Hunter mode, I just remove the bottom part of the protector, and snap on my CPP and continue my day
I recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL-Duraflexi-Protector-Clear/dp/B00GX330XW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414888273&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+3ds
Since you have a special edition you don't want it to get scratched! Also get some screen protectors, I think Hori makes some. 3DS screens tend to scratch themselves (even though supposedly the problem is fixed, don't risk it, trust me.)
As for other accesories, if you find that the XL is too awkward to hold on certain games (though you might grow used to it like I did) try getting one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plastic-Hand-Grip-Holder-Gaming-Case-Handle-Stand-for-3DS-XL-Black-/190970632021?pt=US_Video_Game_Cases_Bags&hash=item2c76bc9755
They're pretty cheap and sometimes can be finicky to take off (use a card to push up the tabs, I learned this the hard way haha), other than that they are amazing for making games comfy. Other things include a club nintendo game case off ebay (or if club nintendo restocks) like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Club-Nintendo-DS-3DS-Card-Cartridge-Case-Holder-18-Limited-game-New-/161467848495?pt=US_Video_Game_Cases_Bags&hash=item25983bd72f
or one of the other ones.
I was referring to getting a clear, protective cover for your 3DS. You can still see the awesome vinyl AND it won't get all scratched up!
I'd get both. My set up is the clear duraflexi and the universal pull and go folio
Do you want like a carrying case or one that actually snaps onto the 3DS to protect it?
For the former, I have this and it works really well. For the latter, most people recommend the clear Hori case.
I used this generic hard plastic case for a long time and really liked it. They come in a variety of colours too if you do some searching. It says "rubberized" but it's not rubber at all, just slightly transparent hard plastic. I recently switched to this one (also available in a variety of colours) and it looks really nice, but it makes the WiFi act funny if I'm too far from the router.
Interesting, that glossy feature is what made me think it would be far worse than my Pikachu. Since my Pikachu was fine naked, that would mean I should fair well with my MM naked.
I have a Hori case for the N3DSXL, but I'm not a big fan. I can't use the charging dock or a proper sleeve. It's pretty much the case and that's it. I much prefer a proper sleeve like Waterfield.
Got the Yoshi cleaning cloth as a reward from club.nintendo.com. I forgot how many coins it costs and it's currently not in stock. You can snag one off of Ebay though or just wait 'til they restock it.
This is the clear duraflexi shell I use on all of my XL's - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GX330XW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1406089974&sr=8-1

I'm confused as to how finding an adapter is hard.

Although, TBH, for $14, it seems worth the risk, if it's covered by Amazon's return policy. Keep us posted!
Don't forget the charger.
Well, guess there are dumb buyers everywhere..... congrats finding one btw ; )

Does anyone know where I can get a charger from? This doesn't seem to come with one but on the Amazon listing for one from Nintendo people are saying it doesn't come in the original packaging and is a knock-off.

That's the one I have.
dreamGEAR Comfort Grip for your Old Nintendo 3DS XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XHCLFO?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Here’s the one I had gotten; it’s two parts, but I found myself only using the bottom/grip half. And while it definitely helped, I almost feel like a 3D printed grip would be better.
I can’t think of the name of the product right now, but there’s this cool two-part rubber agent that’s moldable momentarily but then eventually hardens. I put some on a wiimote and nunchuck grips and basically molded my hand, which made gameplay super comfy.
I was thinking of getting this actually...
DreamGEAR Nintendo 3DS XL Comfort Grip
I recently got this one, it's pretty good for only $5 ish. If you look around on ebay you can find this one for $5 from the US, if that's closer to you.

My friend has one and it works really well.
Right, but the XL one is :(
I've used a few different cases in the past, but the Super Mario Transporter by PowerA is hands down the best one I've gotten.
It can hold 20 DS/3DS games.
And it holds my 3DS XL with the DreamGEAR ComfortGrip attached to it just fine And it still has room for the AC/Car chargers and styluses.
It also comes in Black, Red and Blue. I chose the black one because it still looks cool but is more discrete.
I've experienced it with PC Gaming and handheld gaming (3DS and whatnot). With PC Gaming I use to get a sore wrist, but now I buy mousepads with the wrist pad and now my wrist barely gets sore. For handheld gaming I have a double jointed thumb, if I hold a position too long it hurts like hell and cramps up, I had to buy a hand grip for my 3DS and now my thumb still hurts, just not as fast/often.

DreamGear grip would probably still fit it if.
> my hands are too big to play it for more than 10 minutes without getting cramps.
6'4 guy here. 3DS XL + Dream Gear
I would recommend a NEW 3DS regardless, I just really like them
As for the old 3DS XL, buy this https://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Comfort-Grip-your-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B008XHCLFO?th=1
It awkwardly covers the cart slot but it's suuuuper comfy.
I solved the problem of holding a 3ds XL for extended periods of time with this http://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421708926&sr=8-1&keywords=dreamgear+3ds+xl
incredibly comfortable and basically its own case. The covered interior of the unit allows no need for a cloth to separate the screens.
I bought this grip for my 3DS XL and its life changing - no more hand strain even after 8 hours straight of persona q
I highly recommend buying this if you are an adult with larger hands.. has made my hands go from cramping and hurting after an hour of use to being able to play for 8+ hours without any discomfort.
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I agree that it was rough. However, that all ended the day I started using this thing: http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1377778332&sr=1-2&keywords=3ds+xl+protector+black
Best accessory I've ever bought.
i love the xl. I have tiny hands but the form factor on the original 3ds is just awful. the XL is much nicer, and it doesnt hurt my eyes. I use one of these to make it even more comfy: http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
Fuzzy wuzzy. I wanted the 3DS handgrip but my 3DS recently broke ): so I'm not looking for a game accessory right now.
Thank you for the contest. (:
Edit: Here it is. (:
I've been meaning to grab one of these for a while, but keep forgetting.
http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1M7QR20B4D2QG&coliid=I1A1WCMZIP0B0N
I always keep mine in this case. It's seriously the most comfortable thing you can get to play your 3DS for any extended time (makes Smash WAY easier to play) plus, it protects it from my rambunctious toddler.
I use the DreamGear grip also (http://www.amazon.com/DreamGEAR-Nintendo-3DS-XL-Comfort-Grip/dp/B008XHCLFO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367375474&sr=8-1&keywords=dreamgear+3ds). It's got a good feel, and is very easy to install and remove.
An added benefit of this is that it covers up most of the blinking lights, so it doesn't light up an entire dark room. They can still be seen through the trip though. And the message light is not covered up at all.
Its more a soreness in the middle of my palms.
I have the WiiU so if it gives they same ergonomics it should be alright.
Anyone tried dreamGEAR 3ds XL comfort grips?
Link
The silicone seems more appealing in terms of comfort.
I was thinking about getting this but not sure yet.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XHCLFO/
Uh yeah. I got it from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008XHCLFO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's pretty poor quality, I hear there are better 1s but it is rubbery and soft and fits in my hand so it works good for me. : )
I also have a spring cord stylist. I kinda went crazy on my 3ds haha. But it's ok. Probably totally worth it in the long run. : )
try this
I'm looking into buying the dreamGEAR Comfort Grip or CYBER grip but I'm not sure which one will suit me better. I have fairly long and skinny fingers, and while playing the demo I've found my right pinky finger taking a lot of strain. I need to look into both a bit further but I can let you know if I decide on one.
I mean. Using the 3DS for an extended period of time hurts my hands anyways. The bumpers are hard to press while keeping it balanced in my hands.
Try something like this maybe? http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411396830&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+rubber+grip
I did the same but I REALLY didnt like how far you had to move your fingers up to use the shoulder buttons. Heres the one I bought. I ended up buying some Poly clay and making it more comfortable to put your index fingers on the shoulders, middle fingers on the black original cyber grip part and your ring fingers on the molded portion.
Heres a picture of what I did - Bonus picture of my cat & Ike in his white alt color in SSB4
Sorry for the potato picture.
I basically molded it to my liking then baked it attached to the grip at a lower-than-recommended temperature (about 170-185 for over an hour. I placed it on a few wine bottle corks that were placed on top of a glass cooking container thing I turned upside-down.
Then I sanded a little bit and remembered I hate sanding poly clay so I stopped and now it is lumpy but comfortable.
I use this (note I didn't buy it for that much)
As far as cramp relief it's great, but for the L, R, zL, and zR buttons it kind of digs into your hand. it's a minor inconvienience.
I've been using this for a while. I personally find it a little annoying when you have to use the triggers, but it's much more comfortable to hold and a lot of people like it. It also blocks the stylus, but that shouldn't be a problem for Smash.
I would recommend this, or if you're looking to save money, this. There were some 3ds XL Trigger Grips on eBay, but it seems they no longer sell them.
And the non-mobile link.
I bought this grip for my NA unit. I have been pretty pleased with it for RPGs and Mario Kart.
The biggest problem with it is that you can not get to the stylus with this attached. I remedy that by either already having it out if I am going to need it, or just use my finger. I looked into getting a finger stylus, but haven't gotten around to it.
It is also sometimes awkward to use the shoulder buttons depending on the game. Overall though, I have enjoyed this purchase.

This is the one I currently have, will it fit new 3ds or do I have to buy another one?
I get asked this a lot. Short answer, don't worry about CPP. I get by just fine without it, hell I don't even use the digital D-pad. The L button is all I need. CPP is overrated as a primary imput. If you need camera controls, the C-stick will work just fine. A lot of people don't even know how to use it properly which is where all the complaints arise from.
I normally tell people to get a Wii U instead of a NN3DS if they already have a 3DS and if they don't have a 3DS, to get the NN3DS. But if your main issue is simply holding the system rather than being a matter of deciding what to buy, get a NN3DS and get one of these. http://www.amazon.com/CYBER-grip-rubber-coating-3DS-LL/dp/B008ZXBYJU
I heard good things about em. Hope it helps.
What's the difference between the new Cyber one running ~40 and the one I used to see recommended often? Did they fix the trigger intrusion?
Finally getting into Smash and it's destroying my hands. Just need some grip.
> New 3DS XL cyber grip
Is this it?
I bought these when they were much cheaper. I only paid $9.80 for them new. Sadly they're not in production anymore so that price has skyrocketed to $70.
Non-mobile link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZXBYJU/
And yeah, the only downsides are that the shoulder buttons are a little awkward and the stylus holder is blocked.
Looks good I ordered one so I hope I made a smart purchase.
I was gonna get this but i heard that access to the L & R buttons is bad.
I purchased this a couple months ago and love it! It's very comfortable! http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008ZXBYJU/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1419577174&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Hey. I HIGHLY recommend this. I experienced hand cramps often with the 3ds XL and the NN3DS XL until I got this. If you like the feel of the PS4 controller then this should have that same familiar, comfortable feel.
I use the N3DS version of the Cyber Grips. This link is a older 3DS XL version
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093W7KG8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3M2HybKFHP2Q4
I have a similar case on my New 3DS. It seems like it holds the hinges tightly. It's one of those cases that has its own hinges, like the Nerf ones.
try this maybe?

articfawx mentioned that you should pick up a screen protector and I agree. Best Buy should have them for less than 20 bucks and they cover the top and bottom screens, so you'll almost never have to worry about having your system damaged.
Another really necessary thing I would recomend is buying one of these as they're going to keep the paint and everything from getting scratched without putting a big stupid NERF case on it.
So yeah, Screen cases and a Crystal Case will greatly reduce the ammount of damage you'r 3DS will take. And believe me, it will take some damage. It just happens.
grab a skin, this site is great, It'll cover the hole, and the skin is pretty sturdy
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/gaming/Nintendo_3DS_XL/collection/Most_Popular
then I'd toss one of these for extra protection
http://www.amazon.ca/eForCity-Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-Clear/dp/B0093W7KG8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376763958&sr=8-1&keywords=3ds+xl+clear+case
Do you need it for the original 3ds xl, or the "new" 3ds xl?
Edit: either way, here is the original on amazon
And the "new," also on amazon
Edit #2: you don't mean the housing shell, do you?
I also have a Pikachu 3DS XL, and I was wondering if you have any worries about rubbing or scratching with this type of case? I have a clear plastic case for my DSLite, and I really wanted to get one to protect my PikaXL, but one of the reviews on Amazon for a similar case mentioned that some of the paint had been rubbed off their 3DS along one of the sides, where the plastic case was rubbing against the console.
I'm probably just worrying too much about it, but I thought I'd ask if you noticed anything similar that could scratch up the cool paintjob.
Your best bet is a clear plastic case that has an external hinge on it. You can also get a nerf one for a little bit more.
My wife's old DS did this, and that was our solution. Then mine broke too. That hinge is the weakest part of the design, and it breaks often. I think the lights being 'inside' it make it structurally thinner/weaker.
I bought these 2 items a long time ago and they've been awesome, very worthwhile purchases.
3DS XL Case (This looks awesome on my Red Pokemon Y 3DS): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093W7KG8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I recommend these to anyone looking for some good products at an affordable price.
Edit: Also, my crystal case hasn't turned yellow and I've had it for a year, so I recommend this over the Hori case + it's way cheaper.
Have a 3dsxl [old model] I use the circle pad pro for mh4u. I like the extra grip as I find the 3dsxl to be a bit of a hand cramp. Still looking forward to getting a n3dsxl tho.
I ordered a circle pad pro from japan fit the old 3dsxl,
Circle Pad Pro - Nintendo 3DS LL Accessory (3DS LL Console Not Included) Japan Inport https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009LGO88E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fB2JybEN32HH9
Works fine in my US 3dsxl. Uses 1 AAA battery, haven't had to change it much yet.
There's also a regular 3ds version if you go that route.
Something to add is that a lot of games get a load time decrease with the new 3ds (and xl) models. Usually a few seconds but kinda more noticeable in newer games.
I would recommend investing in a circle pad pro. These cannot be used with the N3DS though just fyi.
Here is one for a normal-sized 3DS - Here (no referral link)
Here is one for a 3DS XL - Here
I loved being able to use the zl and zr to move the camera.
For N3DS I just got used to the nipple.
I personally have tried one of these although I've heard it's very hard to get one these days. I only own an old 3DS and I use this all the time and it feels great.
just buy this.
bought mine from here to play MH.
https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-Included/dp/B009LGO88E
Not sure where you're located if Amazon/Gamestop/Ebay are good choices for you? I've found that using the lock on/button to center on the monster is immensely helpful, both for making sure I know where it is and for maintaining the critical distance.
I think practice is really the best thing! Sometimes I've taken quite a long time to take down a monster simply because I took time to watch its moves and dodged around until I felt comfortable with its attacks. I picked up adept style for a few fights because the dodge is much more forgiving once you know where to dodge (With a great free charge rank up/power shot!).
If you're having trouble with the weapon itself there are really great videos up on youtube and guides online (and here) for different approaches. Again, it really depends on your playstyle. At a glance and a quick search, this page seemed helpful! http://laxgg.blogspot.com/p/mhgen-bow-mechanics.html
It also might help to have a protection/healer palico that has taunt and some heals for you if you're struggling with item management or aggro from the monster. As someone that plays LS offline and LBG/bow online, sometimes its harder when you don't have other hunters keeping it busy lol. You do have a pretty large chunk of time to complete your hunts so don't feel rushed that you can't watch the monster.
There there, this thing has a better control stick anyway
I'm going to assume that it is this that I will want.
Also, is there a place you would recommend to purchase the game or a way to find it on sale?
You can solo with any weapon, in my opinion. With the ranged weapons, you have to take more care on how you place your shots since you're working with limited resources (ammo or coatings depending on if you go bowgun or bow,).
If you have the 3DS XL, I recommend the Circle Pad Pro for aiming. I like how it feels so much I haven't considered upgrading to the New 3DS. If you have the older, smaller 3DS I don't know if there's an option for you besides using the touchscreen to move the camera.
3DS (CPP) should be found in stores (GameStop?) no problem.
3DSXL (CPP LL) might be harder to find in stores, I got mine online (Japan Import) for $20.
there are circle pads for the 3DS XL too. my roommate just got one.
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-Included/dp/B009LGO88E
It works with the Japanese LL and the NA XL (same model)
Yes, but you have to import it. Here is a starting point. You may be able to find a better deal.
Or you could get one of these like me.
Hey, they're cheap now. I had to pay $50. Ha
You could get this one.
Unsure of how much the shipping will be if you order from American Amazon to Brazil, though. Maybe you can find it on the Brazilian Amazon?
But it is definitely worth it at that price.
Cheaper version here: http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-Included/dp/B009LGO88E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426286751&sr=8-1&keywords=circle+pad+pro
Just got it the other day, works fine for my xl.
Its Nintendo made circle pad pro for the 3ds xl (3ds LL in japan).
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009LGO88E/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_fsTbBbJS720ND
So I looked it up and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Pro-Nintendo-Accessory-3dsXL/product-reviews/B009LGO88E/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
What the fuck am I looking at? It moves the left circle pad to the right?
I would suggest amazon, it's imported from Japan but it's still from nintendo. $20
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009LGO88E
look for a store near you: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B009LGO88E/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
also the total cost from Nintendo should be like 28 with avrg 2 week wait.
You can buy grip type things that cover the circles. Makes the circle 100 x's better. I'll post a link from Amazon momentarily....
Edit: Circle Pad Cover - Nintendo (3DS LL/3DS) Black Accessory Japan Inport http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C1XYUY6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_mCCdub0RBGXPR
It looks so sleek! Have you ever tried using a circle pad cover?
i bought this item https://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6
as the circle pad silicone had begun to tore off i went to rip it from the circle pad housing. as i was thinking glue is a bad idea, i got this material https://www.amazon.com/Faber-Castell-Multipurpose-Adhesive-Non-Toxic-Removable/dp/B01DMA7QW4
good thing is this adhesive is removable (though there are some traces but can be removed easily) so that you can adjust the thickness until it feels right. the way to apply it is like applying a thermal paste, but way smaller
edit: the circle pad silicone is glued to the housing but since the silicone is flimsy, the glue is somewhat flimsy as well. should be easy to rip the silicone apart
I've already damaged my 3DS XL analog stick to the point where it is almost unusable. The XL has a much shittier analog stick than the normal 3DS. But I've just ordered THIS so hopefully it will improve the shitty analog stick. Ive also noticed that the buttons are starting to cave in a bit :(
Or get this if you have play like a primate
They make some of those specifically for the 3DS. Why not just use one of those?
I'm thinking of investing in a set of these (or something similar):
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6
http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Pad-Cover-Nintendo-Accessory-Inport/dp/B00C1XYUY6 You want these, trust me. They give me a sense of safety while I play, like my circle pad isn't going to get damaged, and the give you a better grip at the same time. Takes a little bit of force to get on and off at first, though.

I bought these a while ago for my XL to protect the rubber. They work well and have good grips, but sometimes fall off which is how i lost my first one. The second one I chose seems to hold up better since it hasn't fallen off after intense ssb.
Here is the mobile version of your link
I'm pretty sure you can buy just the cover, but I've never seen the original ones going around.

I use this one. I like it. It's for the New 3DS XL but I think the inner pouch is sized for the regular new 3DS.
It holds 2 games.

Yes! Cool that you could recognize that. And thanks for the compliment :D
It's a case I got from a friend who was in japan, it's a Monster Hunter 4 leather pouch/bag (high quality). You can find it here:

This one if pretty great
By case do you mean a 3DS pouch or bag?
If so, I hear this Monster Hunter pouch can hold two 3DS XLs inside of it.
I ordered it from World Impact Japan via Amazon. Here's a link to retailers selling it. I live in the UK, but I'm pretty sure it will be the same thing if you live elsewhere.
HORI also makes a Duraflexi TPU case for the n3DS for what it's worth (which is also clear, but textured on the inside giving it an ever so slightly cloudy appearance), not just screen protectors.
And if you're the kind of person who is into pouches, this Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate pouch is pretty awesome I think.
Buy yourself Smash for 3DS!! It comes out on Friday (the day the contest ends! IT'S A SIGN!!) and it is going to be fantastic (Source: I've played the demo lots). Smash is addicting fun, and it lets you battle online, so you could even battle against your fellow RAOAers that get it! It's going to keep you entertained for a while, so what's to lost? Treat yourself and get it!
As for me, I would LOVE to receive this HDMI 3-port switch device. I just found out these things exist, and this would make my life insanely easier. I don't have enough HDMI ports on my TV, so I always have to flip it around, unplug, and replug to get things to work. This eliminates that! So, you're buying something that will get constant use and make my life a bit easier! :)
Thanks for the contest! This is awesome of you :) Batman Suit.
e-shop question:
My 3ds is imported from amazon, it is of the "U" region (Ver. 11.1.0-34U)
--Ignore This if you think that more background is not needed--
but my country is Venezuela (my real one), here we have the e-shop locked so we can't buy games or download demos, not even the freeware like Pokémon Rumble World. we can only download updates.
--Now, The Question is.--
If i buy a download code on amazon (like https://www.amazon.com/Super-Smash-Bros-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B00DD0B1R0/?th=1) it would work on my e-shop ? (or, it would be a waste and the code would not give me a digital download ?)

It's on the American Amazon as not yet available, I've ordered stuff from it to Canada before, but I'm not sure if games are included in that. Check it out anyway.
Or keep an eye out on Amazon.ca for it. Basically, what I'm saying is if it's on Amazon.com, it shouldn't be EB exclusive.
I preordered mine at EB though, I don't care, they are still going to be around, with or without my money, so if they have something I want that, apparently, no one else is offering, I'll take it.
Newegg also lists the Wii U version as having a December 31st, 2014 release date, which I'm hesitant to believe, but here's the link anyways.
Amazon also has both products listed for preorder. Wii U and 3DS. While it doesn't have a release date, if memory serves me right, Amazon will not allow pre-orders unless it knows a release date of some sort.
Also putting a picture here to show the release date, in case Nintendo finds it and takes it down.
An excellent choice! Please add it to your wishlist, here is the link:

They're the same thing just one is the Japanese Import (which is what I use). Never use hard plastic TPU. If it doesn't scratch your DS it'll get tons of scratches on the outside which make it look terrible. Hori is a good brand for anything relating to the 3DS.
I take my 3DS XL everywhere I go, mainly for the StreetPasses (I try to hit up Home Depot parking lots or go in a Barnes & Noble for those) and the Play Coins.
I did have it in my back pocket, but I didn't realize how much more the XL stuck out of my pocket and I scraped it up a good bit just by sitting in chairs. Fortunately I managed to get a good replacement, and not only do I have the Hori Duraflexi clear protective case on it, but I use this thing as a waist pouch to carry all my stuff in. I've never liked carrying purses, but a waist pouch seems like an acceptable compromise as it's basically a big external pocket. And sitting down is suddenly a lot more comfortable without all the stuff in my back pockets -- I never realized how uncomfortable it actually was until I stopped.
I've found the volume bump happens a lot less since I got the Duraflexi cover for my DS. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GX330XW/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1

and this is one im assuming is the same thing just an official nintendo brand
probably be a lot easier to just put one of these on it: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL-Duraflexi-Protector-Clear/dp/B00GX330XW/
hey man, that really sucks, i have the Persona Q Limited Edition, and if i paint started chipping i'd be sad lol, but yeah, i recommend you look into getting a replacement shell for your 3DS, if its not too bad and you can put up with it then just cover it up with a case for now, if it gets worse just swap the shell, but it really shouldn't be chipping, unless you dropped it, but i doubt you did since you didn't mention that, if you decide to swap shells then i do recommend you protect it with a nice case, i use a clear case on mine, this is the one i use and lots of people like it :) http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL-Duraflexi-Protector-Clear/dp/B00GX330XW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418450426&sr=8-1&keywords=nintendo+3ds+xl+clear+case&pebp=1418450430522 that case offers great protection, its TPU, so if you drop it then it should be able to take the impact, i won't lie though, it does make it look a little foggy, so you wont be able to see the paint job very clearly, before that case i had a cheap one i got from gamestop, it was a clear plastic case, they sell it for 9 dollars, i actually really liked that one, since it doesn't mess with the clarity or anything.
oh and sorry for the long reply.
It's great! It's super comfy, and fits on quite nicely. I use it to protect an autograph, but it'll work to resist scratches and smudges perfectly fine.
you mean this

Nevermind, its the original 3ds xl.
I use the Hori TPU case for my 3DS XL, cannot recommend it enough.
Here's the link from Amazon

Like that one
Maybe look into getting some accessories for your 3DS?
Amazon has a very functional carrying case, and you could also get a snap-on protector for scratches and what not.
Still cheaper than buying a 2DS for the purpose of having it get banged up.
This is the 3ds Xl I have. It fits great with this case which I paired up my 3dsxl with.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GX330XW/
Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-AC-Adapter-Nintendo-3DS-2DS/dp/B01MDQP1ZU
It would be nice to know if this has the correct voltage (4.6V) and amperage (900mA). Other chargers don't have this voltage (usually 5V instead) and that causes a great deal of concern for me.
My personal advice is to always stick with 1st party for power chargers - it's too important. A bad power supply is not something to trifle with. Besides, the official charger can actually be had for around the same price used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00L59D9HG/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Just buy a new original one while you can still get one. They're not very expensive
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-Compatible-XL-2DS-Adapter/dp/B00L59D9HG?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2
Best advice is to go to a local Target or Walmart (not Amazon unless you have Prime) and buy the Official 3DS Charger because it's only 8.99
GameStop won't take a 3DS without a charger regardless of the fact that the n3DS is sold without one and they will then see if you want to buy a Pre-Owned charger or their (GameStop branded) $15 charger.
Was debating getting a 2XL or a refurbished N3XL for me and my sister but found a new N3XL for $175 on Amazon. $50 more than getting two 2XLs but, brand new, 3d feature is there if needed, better speakers, and longer battery life (several reviews have mentioned 2XL has shorter battery life).
So, I'm on the hunt for some accessories and was wondering if ya'll could help me pick some out.
Charger Will need 2 of these.
Charger | Price
---|---
Wall Charger | $8
HDE 3 Pack USB | $8
HDE 2 Pack USB | $5
Yuyikes USB | $8
Screen Protector Will need 2 of these.
Brand | Price | # of Pairs | # of Reviews | Avg Score
---|---|----|----|----
Hori | $9 | 1 | 1758 | 4.5
iLLumiShield | $7 | 3 | 49 | 4.5
Akwox | $7 | 2 | 125 | 4
Dmax Armor | $6 | 3 | 65 | 4.5
iLLumiShield | $10 | 2 | 49 | 4.5
To late but here is one option
Just stick to the official Nintendo one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L59D9HG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_uWOnyb62FTG11
The game will be $40, which is the standard price for 3DS games.
The charger is only $8 on Amazon (link here), and should be about the same in stores, give or take.
As for the 3DS itself, there are 3 models currently available. The New 3DS XL is bigger and has larger screens, and goes for $200. The New 3DS (not XL) is the same but slightly smaller, and will be available for $100 on Black Friday. The 2DS does not display games in 3D, but it can play all 3DS games and is the cheapest option at $80.
Hopefully that helps!
Its never good to use a hard plastic on hard plastic. Your asking for scratches. You should always use flexible tpu.
TPU Duraflexi Cover for New Nintendo 3DS LL [Japan Import] by Hori http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NFCCOMW/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_KbUTub1071T8S
Link
An import but this is pretty close. I think I may hold out for an official us version
You could also get the Japanese one if you wanted it upon release http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Duraflexi-Cover-Nintendo-3DS-Japan/dp/B00NFCCOMW/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1421779045&sr=1-3&keywords=hori+new+3ds+ll
Is [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Duraflexi-Cover-Nintendo-3DS-Japan-Import/dp/B00NFCCOMW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) the one you imported? If not, provide link please and thank you.
OK genuine question here. Why are there so many glowing reviews for the Japan version(www.amazon.com/Duraflexi-Cover-Nintendo-3DS-Japan-Import/dp/B00NFCCOMW/) when compared to the US version, which pretty much everyone says is awful? (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y/).
Holy crap.... I am surprised you are not more livid..... In all honesty I would have been very pissed at that point.
Why not get a [new back side] (https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/us/po/browse/productDetailColorSizePicker.jsp?categoryNav=true&navAction=jump&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&productId=prod560313&categoryId=cat550080) from Nintendo site or the [Hori TPU case] (http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1426617674&sr=1-1&keywords=Nintendo+new+3DS+XL+Duraflexi+Protector) or [import it] (http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Duraflexi-Cover-Nintendo-3DS-Japan/dp/B00NFCCOMW/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1426617674&sr=1-3&keywords=Nintendo+new+3DS+XL+Duraflexi+Protector). Would have at least fixed that cosmetic issue.
Same here, you might be able to save some money by asking Amazon to pay for shipping. They covered next day for me.
This is the cheapest one with possible free shipping from Amazon
When that one's gone, it'll be up to $27.90 for the next 20 units
I think I'm gonna go with http://www.amazon.com/Duraflexi-Cover-Nintendo-3DS-Japan-Import/dp/B00NFCCOMW/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A2WMULLEQAWMK2
/u/R0cketRacc00n suggested that and since it has prime, a lot more tempting for me :D
You need to buy the new duraflex protector for the new 3ds. Old one won't fit.
Here's a video If you want to see what it looks like and how much bulk it adds.
Amazon is currently out of stock of them ATM, and no word of when it's getting them back in. I've heard as late as May.
There is 3rd part (shipped from Amazon) ones available, however they are double the price:
LL is just the Japanese name of XL, and will 100% fit the XL.
So is there a difference between this one you linked and this one ?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NFCCOMW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would suggest getting a Clear Duraflexi cover for your shiny 3DS.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NFCCOMW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_18?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AK0GQ5PQ7UDXE
I got that one, and it's kept my beautiful Monster Hunter 4U 3DS pristine.
Import it. If you have Amazon prime click "Other Sellers" and filter by those with prime. Use this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NFCCOMW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Well the Hori Duraflexi clear case is available soon and the extended battery is available by Mugen for the New Nintendo 3ds XL, but no word by Nerf and Nintendo otherwise.
Here is this one for new 3ds from the same company. It's even more expensive though.
I can confirm Myth's statement, as I own this leather pouch. The 3DSXL takes up about half of the room, leaving room for a couple games in those DS pockets, your charger, and a few other small odds and ends. My MH4U card case fits right in there in addition to the charger. I just wish I could find a pouch large enough to fit my grip, too.
I had the same issues, plus it had a funky rubbery smell that I didn't like. I ended up only using it for about a week before I bought this one. I like it a lot better gripwise, but it's not as protective as the dreamgear.
This changed everything for me.
I love using my New 3DS XL, don't think I could use any other 3DS model at this point. Though that's largely due to the fact that I replaced the c-stick with a PSP cap and use this grip.
I've found this which seems to be of questionable quality, but accomplishes exactly what I need from the triggers with my small hands:
http://www.amazon.com/GAMETECH-XL-Trigger-Black-new-3DS/dp/B00SGWGBSE
Apparently this model does the same thing and is of much better quality, but is at a ludicrous price now:
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Cross-hunting-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B016XCSBC2
The grip you linked specifically says it will not fit the New 3ds. There is a MH grip that will fit the N3DS, but it's currently going for an absurd price: http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Cross-hunting-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B016XCSBC2
May I ask what it is that makes it uncomfortable? If it is the system itself, I don't know which model you play on, but if it is the New 3DS Xl there is an awesome (if pricey) grip that makes it much more comfortable, at least for me!
This works just fine with new 3DS XL.
Could try the brand new Cyber Gadget slim grip: https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Gadget-Rubber-Coating-Black-Nintendo/dp/B01KWUNRV6/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
I'm currently deciding between that one, the monster hunter one (https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Cross-hunting-gear-Nintendo/dp/B016XCSBC2/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1481064584&sr=1-1&keywords=3ds+xl+monster+hunter+grip), and the wider cyber gadget one (https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Gadget-Rubber-Coating-Black-Nintendo/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1481064457&sr=1-1&keywords=cyber+grip+3ds+xl). I bought all 3, going to return 2 of them. So far I'm probably sticking with the monster hunter one since I have large hands, but I wish I could stay with the new slim grip since it's super compact and can hold two games in the back.
The Cybergrip /u/Whirlspell posted is good. I have that and the MHX one. The Cybergrip holds the 3DS a lot more steady. I found the MHX isn't a perfectly snug fit. However, the MHX one is much more comfortable. It's hard plastic, but fits the hand a whole lot better.
Sure. Looking over your collection it seems like this might interest you as well? Can add pictures of that as well should you like.
I have interest in:
[Pikachu and Eevee Joycon Pair]
[Kingdom Hearts III]
[Katamari Demacy Reroll]
[Danganronpa 1 2 Reload]
[Odin Sphere]
[Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee Pokeball Bundle] <-- All I really want is the pokeball?
Hopefully the Switch will have Virtual Console options that make sense, and that would be the obvious suggestion.
If a portable would interest him, then a New 3DS XL with the Hori Monster Hunter Grip-- only way to play the 3DS comfortably with man-sized hands. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016XCSBC2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I would expect eBay to have some used WiiU deals in March. But I would also recommend the Wii U Pro controller for hand comfort.
Lastly, an old Wii can be found for $50 on eBay. It would take years to exhaust the Virtual Console games (Nintendo, Super Nintendo, N64, Wii), but who knows how long they'll be supported.

Just make sure you select Amazon as the shipper. It's backstocked to aug 3rd but with the upgraded shipping it will still arrive a lot faster than any other site.
This one?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016XCSBC2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1464747217&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SY200_QL40&amp;keywords=monster+hunter+grip&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=61rl6gLGhTL&amp;ref=plSrch
It's ridiculously overpriced from the Amazon 3rd party sellers, but amiami has it's second shipment for pre-order still, I think. I have one on order from them, myself.
where can i buy it / pre-order ?
i already have this
so what is the difference between MHX grip and MHXX Grip ?
I have used both the 2 ds and new 3ds extensively. It is much less crapped but you dont have the extra camera stick ( which i actually dont use.) Has slower loading times, and a smaller battery life. You have to be careful with your screens though probably pick up a protective carrying case to protect the two screens as this is why mine is dead. Your other and probably cheaper option is to buy a the monster hunter controller attachment thing for your existing ds.
This thing here:

Or something similar
Hi there, you got me really interested in this. I live in Japan so I can probably just go down the street and find this tomorrow, but can you tell me the maker of the one you are using? Is it Hori? I found this link on Amazon Japan and was wondering if the pictures match the one you have...

Payed $0, and got the code 20 seconds later.
Good question. If you look at a page that has the promotion (under Special Offers and Product Promotions at the bottom) and click on "You will receive your code by email within 2 business days. Here's how (restrictions apply)", the last line says Offer only applies when shipped and sold by Amazon.com.
Also, if you scroll to the bottom of that page, you will see that the promotion is not listed under special offers and promotions.
I would suggest getting things they could share! Since DS's are kind of pricey, you could get one for them to share, like the 2DS then get them each their own game(s). You could get Pokemon Sun/Moon for Rylee, and Brain Quest or Big Brain Academy for Trinity
You can try buying codes from PCGameSupply. I live in Jordan with no access to NA eshsop codes, bought from them to buy Ace Attorney and they deliver by email in matters of minutes after the payment goes through.
Alternatively you can buy the Pokémon Sun NA code from Amazon
Pokemon Sun appears to be $29.99 on Amazon again.
Well, almost all Pokemon games have been on some kind of sale recently.
Dang, That's how much Amazon has it for sale and it's brand new. If you have Amazon Prime like I do it's free shipping too. It's actually costs $39.82.
Easy solution to that, man.

Hello shrimp of tiny proportion, I, as you can read, am Tbshirk. I'm a frequenter on this subreddit and have entered giveaways, and hosted some myself. Firstly, I would like to thank you for this giveaway. Even if I don't win, you're going to make somebody very happy. You're doing a great thing. Oh, and I'm entering for Pokemon Sun. Amazon Link
I want it for a pretty simple reason. Pokemon fucking rocks, and it's fun as hell! To go into a little more depth, I played Pokemon a TON as a kid. Pretty much non-stop. Anyway, now that Sun and Moon are out, I feel the need to get back into it. Not only that, but I'm going to try to complete a Living Shinydex, which will very well take me years upon years to complete, but I am extremely determined.
Thank you so much for this giveaway and I hope you, and the readers have a fantastic Thanksgiving and holiday season in general.
There's only a couple brick and mortar stores still selling Western import games in Tokyo and you can usually expect to pay around a 20% premium (at least) on the US sticker price, never mind the exchange rate.
Hell, you can even find stores selling North American Sun & Moon on Amazon Japan at retail price.

This one: If you have Prime when you order and on November 18 when it comes out, you get Sun, Moon, and a steel container for $71.99. I don't care about the container personally, but I'm getting both games for less than the combined retail cost of both individually.
I have the Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Steelbook Dual Pack new in box for the 3ds.
Mine says that it should arrive this Friday. :)

I have this travel case and it's a pretty great case. Easy to put the switch in(it fits with the joycons already on), 20 cartridge slots for games, and the zipper pocket which should be big enough for an extra set of joycons or two + a bit more like some cords.

Can anyone can help me price my Switch bundle? I'm in no rush to sell, I just never play the thing.
I'm selling the following:
So what do you think a fair asking price for all that would be?
I was thinking:
$419 total, do y'all think $400 would be a fair price for all that?
I have the updated Butterfox case, and love it. I just realized the link you provided [here] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711K97BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_djwKPhOzNL1Dy) is a blatant ripoff of the butterfox one unless its a reseller but I never herd of Hestia, and they are using the pictures from the Butterfox case. Unless i'm clearly missing something?
Hi, I'm thinking about picking up a carrying case for my switch (something I could keep in my backpack that wouldn't get flattened by my books) and I've narrowed my search down to three cases. Which would you say is the best option?
Hestia Goods Switch Carrying Case
Orzly Carry Case
Nintendo Switch Carrying Case – Protective Deluxe Travel Case
Hestia Goods Switch Carrying Case compatible with Nintendo Switch - 20 Game Cartridges Protective Hard Shell Travel Carrying Case Pouch for Nintendo Switch Console & Accessories, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711K97BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9DK-Ab3313TJ0
What do you think if this case?
I'm looking to buy a Switch case and I am having trouble deciding which one to go with. The Hestia Goods case looks good but I'm skeptical of the quality because of the low price. The RDS case also looks good but slightly more expensive.
Which one should I go with? Additionally, do either of these cases hold the charger well?
I have the Hestia Version of that case. I love it.
Damn that looks comfy. They need a New 3DS version. I'm using this when I do extended play sessions.
Going with the cyber grip. Ordered a week or two ago and still hasn't arrived. Worried.

I found one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OTEMTD4/ref=pd_aw_sbs_63_of_9?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=51tmpY76WUL&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_SL500_SR100%2C100_&amp;refRID=0F80Q4Q3XGD6JV75V8D0
I was able to get a Cyber Gadget Grip on Amazon a while back when they were only like $30. Looks like they only have 3rd party sellers now and the going rate is $75.
I've used a few... and this was the best in my opinion. Good luck tracking one down!
I used this one. but when I got it it was $17. might be cheaper on ebay.

I got a PS Vita case, a 3DS XL screen protector and a PS3 controller charging cable.
ETA: Decided to get Yokai Watch too and the code arrived quickly after.
I don't have either of those, I just bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Screen-Protective-Filter-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7T8TK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1475110763&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3ds+xl+hori
It is much easier to put on than you would think, but also horrifically complex. But no bubbles and scratches so far.
The Hori one.
I have the XL one and my daughter has the standard one with blue light filter. I accidentally ordered that one for her instead of the standard one, but it doesn't make the screen significantly yellow, and it will wake up her less if she plays in the evening.
Because I use and abuse my touchscreen and it's prone to scratches, I will always, always recommend a protector on the bottom screen. This may only apply if you play stylus-heavy games like EBA/Osu!, Picross, etc. I like knowing I can swap a protector in a few years and it'll be good as new.
> I'm terrible at applying anything but tempered glass.
The official Hori protectors have a really nice application method that's almost impossible to mess up. There's a small bit of temporary adhesive on one side to help you line it up, then you apply it for real one half at a time.
If you have Amazon Prime, Prime Now is selling those same screen protectors here. Other than that, I don't believe these are being sold (for a reasonable price, at least) anywhere else.

Seconded on the screen protector. Here are some good options for
o3ds
3dsxl
n3ds
n3dsxl
Definitely be patient and get a screen protector on there before you go crazy on the screen. I recommend Hori, which I've used on all my Nintendo stuff since my DS Light (which is still on there and took a lot of abuse due to Elite Beat Agents).

Hori already has a screen protector specifically for N3DS XL: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RZ7T8TK
I got mine a few days ago, fits great.
The galaxy one is beautiful. May I suggest this clear case for it? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-8pFybP11BTQ4
The one that OP has is cute but it's hard immobile plastic which after having that on my n3DS XL for a year has scratched mine up through moving slightly and getting dirt and crumbs in it. This one ^^^ flexes and I haven't had any new scratches since. I love it.

Hori TPU case
I guess I'm looking for a hard case (like this) but one that isn't bulky.
Maybe get a Hori Clear protector case? It just clips on. I am not sure if this version dims the color of your 3DS a bit but it prevents scratches etc. https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y
Ah, thanks, for some reason I thought heat/steam might work. Although, I think you might either be mistaking my case for one of the regular stick on protectors or are thinking they might both have the same fixes, which they might, but it's hard to say so far. Just in case, I'm using something like this. Not the exact same one but the exact same type.

I bought the galaxy version, and I got the hori protector: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y
but honestly, even before I bought that I wasn't having any problems, but I'm also very anal about wiping down my ds every 5 minutes with a microfiber lens cloth.
same as anything, treat it right and it will treat you right :)

This one?
It's made out of TPU.
TPU is kinda like a hard rubbery material, it feels really nice and won't scratch your 3DS at all.
The case you linked will fit the TPU case and your 3DS, I have a case like that and it fits perfectly.

Just so you know this one isnt nearly as clear as the hard plastic but it def wont scratch up your system.
If it was sold by Amazon, you can contact them and get it replaced with this one.
I bought this case for my o3DS XL and generally speaking really like it: https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=dp_ob_title_vg
Does a similar type of case/protective gear exist for non XL New 3Dses? I couldn't find any.
I have the hori duraflex for the n3ds xl and it comes on and off pretty easily. I ordered the n3ds equivalent for when I pick up the pokemon edition because it does it's job very well.
I got the Hori Duraflexi Protector from Best Buy and I love it. It's on Amazon too.

this thing is amazing. also found at Gamestop and Best Buy
Why though? You can use FTP for your every day needs. Also I think everybody should use this

This one?
There is a video review on Amazon for this you can see here: http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Duraflexi-Clear-Protector-Nintendo-NEW/dp/B00RZ7TC6Y the first 1star rated review by Jordan. He talks about how non-fitting it is (after very little to no play I'm assuming) and I decided not to buy after checking his review.

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.
One thing you might want to consider is a clear skin/case like this one
I throw my MM N3dsxl into my work bag all the time with the case, and its no worse for the wear. If you are more paranoid, putting it in any cloth satchel would keep it perfect.
Edit: linked a similar case for the regular sized new 3ds https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018DM475K/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1465781615&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=SY200_QL40&amp;keywords=New+3ds+case&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41b0%2Bnf%2BwuL&amp;ref=plSrch
Is getting a screen protector worth it? How many scratches have you guys gotten on your screens? My last nintendo handheld was the DSi, so I'm not really sure if I'll need one.
Also, what about the clear protector? I'm getting the MH4U edition, so obviously I'd like to preserve the nice painting, but I'm just not sure if it's necessary.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER# its for pre order currently and will be out by the 16th of Feb.
Amazon is the only place I know of - it's preorder.
You should consider getting a protector for your N3DS in order to protect the art work.

I think my HORI Duraflexi case for NEW N3DS XL is defective?
Here is a picture showing the issue I'm having. It just doesn't fit or lay right around the charging port. I have the Skinomi skin protector on my system, but I didn't think it would give it that much extra bulk!
I plan to send this back to Amazon.com since I prefer the Skinomi skin, but was curious if anyone else had similar problems?
I just bought this case for my 3ds. It's release date is the 3rd, which is tomorrow.
Hori makes one specifically for the new 3ds now.http://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RZ7TC6Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1425944339&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=new+3ds+hori&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41jk8idU9aL&amp;ref=plSrch&amp;pi=AC_SY200_QL40
And it doesn't add much bulk.
I just found this for a good price, $13.

As a fellow 3DS owner I highly recommend getting a grip accessory of some kind. I have a n3DSxl and got the official, Japan only monster Hunter grip and it's simply amazing. It's almost as good as any console controller, hopefully there's a good one for n2DSxl (I hate these acronyms). Also, I really like these circle pad covers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WLs1CbSHQJ76G
Also also, I recommend installing cfw. It's easy to do and you get a lot of benefits that aren't just piracy like custom themes that can cycle, increasing the CPU clock speed which makes games like MGS3 3D much more playable, and installing game mods that even work with carts. No, you won't actually get banned from online unless you try to play a game online that hasn't officially been released yet (and it's still circumventable regardless)
https://3ds.hacks.guide/
If your circle pad actually still works and it's just the rubber cover that peeled off, i wouldn't risk opening up the console just to replace it.
Instead, you can grab one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-%E3%83%BBPremium-Slide-Cover-Clear-Black/dp/B00UURTXK6/
You basically just put it above your circle pad and you should have a pretty nice grip over it.
These are the ones that I bought a few months back.

The ones you linked were slightly more expensive than the ones I bought, so I avoided them. Ergo, I can't vouch for them :/. The ones I linked are pretty good though! Definitely an improvement, although the thumb slips will still happen after an hour or two of play. I highly recommend keeping some sort of small towel on standby just to wipe off the sticks and your hands in between hunts.

Though, the price went up since I bought them at $4.
You get like 6 grips though, so give them to your friends! Or when they shamelessly beat you at Pokemon because they discovered EVs while you didn't, Jared.

Don't buy a new controller, clean/ fix your existing one. It will cost a lot less (~15$) and you will be able to clean/fix all of your other controllers as well. May sound weird because I'm telling you to fix your existing one but don't buy replacement joysticks... the rubber will just fall off on those too... =[ Ive wasted some $ on shitty "replacement" joysticks that don't even last a day. Buy 1 pack of these https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-%E3%83%BBPremium-Slide-Cover-Clear-Black/dp/B00UURTXK6/ref=sr_1_1?s=instant-video&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479033751&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3ds+circle+pad+cover and glue it to your joystick. I used an epoxy resin because i figured it would do the best gluing plastic on plastic but super glue would probably work too. You should still buy a tri-wing screwdriver https://www.amazon.com/Gen-Lite-Tri-Wing-Triwing-Screwdriver-Tool/dp/B000VPBYS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479034061&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=triwing+screwdriver and some wet-wipes to get inside the controller and clean up a bit. Mine works like brand new but even better because the joystick will never wear down. I'll never part with my original orange GC controller >.<
Is there any analog stick cover like this for the New 3DS XL but that I can close the 3DS completely?
They actually sell replacements on Amazon for the rubber piece for those inclined
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UURTXK6/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A3F4J0W0AYMIJX&amp;psc=1
I ordered these pad covers shortly after I bought my 3DS - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UURTXK6
Works like a charm, although some buyers are having issues with the covers themselves slipping off the pad. In that case try using super glue if you don't mind having a semi-permanent accessory.
I bought these, however they are a bit pricey for what they are, and I only really use one of them. But there isn't too much of a solution elsewhere from what I've found.
It's this thing.
expensive
Amiibo + This stupidly rare accessory. If its a normal 2ds.
If its a "new" 2ds XL, you can tap amiibo to the touch screen.
OR, you can just open your switch Mii maker menu and other Mii maker menus at the same time and copy the options you selected to design them.
Unfortunately there isnt a means of getting them off the wii without a Wii U.
You'll need this
I thought a used one would be a lot less but then I see stuff like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01307Q6ZC/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&amp;condition=used
I guess I will just get a new one.
/u/ImpatientTurtle /u/eviloneinabox If you've got access to them, I've heard wonders about those cyber grips.
Sadly they aren't available in my country, so I'm using a cheap 5 bucks plastic one which - while not ideal - does the trick fine for me while I wait for the cybergrip to be available or until I find a cheap import.
Cyber New 3Ds XL Grip: best money I ever spent. Feels like holding a console controller.
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL-Original/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=n3ds+xl+grip&amp;qid=1565613534&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-4
I don't remember paying nearly the cost of them now, but everything about it is pretty great. If the price is too much, just look for something with similar dimensions. I hardly play my 3dsXL without it now.
Does this work with the Cyber Gadget grip?
I picked this up:
https://www.amazon.com/Gadget-Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469498606&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=3ds+grip
At first it was incredibly awkward, but now I can't play without it :)
As for games, I got Xenoblade Chronicles X and Star Fox Zero(Double Pack) for $23.99 each at the Best Buy sale and I got Warioware for GBA at a local used game store for $8.
Cyber gadget. Yeh for new 3ds xl. All though mine cost waaaay less when I got it. Looks like they’ve gone up in price.
https://www.amazon.com/Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL-Original/dp/B013JDH8J0
Had the same issue as you. Bought several grips (including the DreamGear) but this is easily the best one (read the reviews and you'll see): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/
I bought the original version (before they came out with a smaller more compact version). Now I can play for hours without cramping. Worth every penny.
If you find the system uncomfortable for longer amounts of time i highly recommend https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5li5yb714N3NA I personally love it and it has storage for 2 additional games. Very well worth the money
Actually this is the black version I didn't bother linking because I thought it was the easiest to find.
I don't think the n3DS XL Dream Gear grip comes in red. This is their n3DS XL products page.
I haven't seen any grips made for the 2DSXL. My grip makes a huge difference when playing MH.
This is mine HERE
After doing some research, I bought this exact grip for my 3DS XL and it's a game changer for me. It's like plaything the 3ds with a modern controller.
https://www.amazon.com/Gadget-Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL/dp/B013JDH8J0
Much cheaper than downgrading for less screen.
Sorry, I don't understand why you need a screen protector with the clamshell design. If you want a grip, this one is amazing https://www.amazon.com/Gadget-Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1537491897&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=new+3ds+grip&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=51LtOr2vB8L&amp;ref=plSrch
As someone that has tried many many grips for the N3DS. This One has been the best Ive used and still currently use. Its for the N3DS but they have the same grip for other models.

Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EnYMAbAMKX0RE
I just bought this one yesterday and got it in the mail today. I must says, I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. I have been playing Pokemon Sun for an hour or so and it is really comfortable. Usually an hour on game play starts to bother me. I now feel like i can play for extended periods now.
This one is right on the front page of this sub. There's a couple more models on eBay but they tend to be pretty rough quality. That said. all they do is clip on, so it's not like they need to be very nice.
I have this one for both my n3ds and xl versions. Seems to work well

I actually have the CPP. I'm looking for something like this (i.e., a controller grip)... I'm just having a really hard time finding anything as most places are selling for NEW or XL models only :/
Have you thought of getting a grip?
Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Gadget-Rubber-Coating-Black-Nintendo/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1479111487&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=new+3ds+grip
https://www.amazon.com/Gadget-Coating-Nintendo-New-3DS-LL/dp/B013JDH8J0
It’s 25$ on Amazon
I thought about that, but I fear that the grip could break or stop holding 3ds properly because some grips like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ have a low amount of plastic on this parts
Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013JDH8J0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_v.q-AbVSDG3RN

I ordered this one
Looked more comfortable than the dreamgear.
But it's going to take forever to ship.
This one?

You can get the mugen battery from Amazon for $60. Seems a bit steep for a battery tbh.

Makes the n3ds xl much more comfortable to hold.
Hi, I'm using the Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip. I should have clarified, it's for the NEW 3DS XL. It makes the system a lot more comfortable to hold. But if you're playing a game that uses the shoulder buttons a lot, it might not be ideal. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JDH8J0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I know its not a grip, but buying an extended battery such as this one might help. If you're not interested in the extra battery life, I'd go with this one
If you have prime:

I bought these and they arrived today; this is the newer version of the product that you purchased. I had no issues getting them on my analog slider; they may not seem to fit at first glance and first touch, as it does take a bit of pressure and force to get them to fit properly, but after applying a fair bit of pressure onto them they will go on and stay on, and they work excellently (I have an original 3DS by the way (not XL nor new). I don't know if the newer 3DS versions have bigger sliders or not, but these seem to be made for the New 3DS yet fit fine on my old, non-XL version. They are fantastic; I use the grip with the various dots on it, and it really allows me to grip the slider extremely well. I don't have to worry about my thumb sliding off of the slider as I had to do before; using these also has greatly increased the precision with which I can use the slider stick. I can now make very subtle moves of the stick very easily with the grip. All in all, I would recommend the newer version of these grips, as they have done an excellent job of increasing the control and precision I have over my slider stick and have completely eliminated the previous soreness that my thumb would have after a 3DS playing session. I think that they are a necessity for any hardcore 3DS player who plays often.
Does he mean the screen or the device itself? He should try the hand grips if it's the latter. I have logged over 300 hours with this one and it has helped tremendously.
Really surprised I haven't seen the Cyber Gadget grip 2 in this topic yet. It feels amazing, very nice material and really ergonomic. The 3ds feels locked in place but pretty easy to remove by pulling the clip. It also has a compartment for holding 2 carts and the "door" of the compartment doubles as a stand.
Why not just buy one?
