  And finally I ordered through Zen Market because hardly anyone shipped to my country

Me too! I was so excited to get a couple cover plates too to change it up every once in a while.

Normal day? Use the yellow and blue transparent cover plates. In a mood for Pokémon? Throw on the special ORAS ones. Halloween? Use the Boo glow-in-the-dark cover plates!

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:

• Victorinox Signature Lite Pocket Knife (Light/Pen instead of Tweezers/Toothpick (Silver Tech)
  
  
• 3DS XL Case
  
  
• The Gum (I cut into a square)
  
  
• Gear Tie - The Black Thing (reusable rubber twist tie)
  
  
• HP Flash Drive (8 GB - 64 GB)
  
  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!

Why not get a case like this?. Won't be so permanent.

I think this case is better in nearly every way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Y824ZZ2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480441945&sr=1-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=nintendo+case

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've been using this case from iGadgitz for a few days now, and I'm loving it. It's made specifically for the N3DS so it's a really good fit, not too snug but definitely not loose. It's cheap and soft on the inside so it'll be really protective.

I am looking to get the ORAS faceplates on a white 3ds. My only concern is that these faceplates are transparent, so you would be able to see the battery and everything on the bottom one.

Would it be okay/safe if I were to cut a piece of standard printer paper and place it between the faceplate and the ds itself? I'm worried the battery could overheat or something and catch the paper on fire.

I really want these faceplates but I don't want to see the battery through the bottom one, I just want it to be white behind. Would paper solve my problem?

Are they actual Nintendo ones? Wtf I just looked like a week ago and couldn't find them, even when searching by cover plate number in case the listing was for some reason in Japanese.

Edit: found here, wow. I'm dumb. Ordered!

Here's one for those of us without the XL, thanks OP, btw.

I have this case and it's great. A few good features are that it has enough slots for all the games I have (and allows for room to expand) and can carry the AC adapter. The best feature though is the pocket for the 3DS itself. I almost always carry just that removable pouch around (in my lunch bag when I go to work, in a cargo pocket on my shorts if I go out shopping or to the mall, etc.) with the 3DS and a couple games. If it's a longer road trip, I velcro it back into the main case and take the whole thing. I love it.

No. The new 3ds is slightly bigger. I got this case for mine and I love it.

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

XL: http://www.amazon.com/Nerf-3DS-XL-Armor-Blue-nintendo/dp/B00BRA9R7E/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1372122429&sr=1-1

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

I was looking around at cases recently (mostly on Amazon) and didn't see any that hold more than 24 or 28 (and the ones that claim to hold 28 generally hold 24 game carts and 4 memory cards).

I got this to hold my N3DSXL, games (24 max), and earbuds or charger. I'm really liking it:
http://www.amazon.com/BRENDO-Nintendo-3DS-Hard-Case-Holders/dp/B00ZE3O522

If I ever get more than 24 game cartridges, I'd also get one of these—it looks like it would fit in the case above:
http://www.amazon.com/Protective-Plastic-Memory-Storage-Nintendo/dp/B00IRR7XHQ/

Oh yes, sorry, language barrier. A case similiar to this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Carrying-Case-Nintendo-2DS-Console-3ds/dp/B00EZIXFJG/ref=sr_1_3/144-2471330-4060304?ie=UTF8&qid=1539049399&sr=8-3&keywords=2ds+pouch&dpID=41phkbE%252Bo7L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I have just a 3DSXL, I'm trying to wait for the white version for the New 3DSLL to come to NA :)
I bought the case on Amazon on Oct 2014, hopefully it's ok to link stuff in the comments! http://smile.amazon.com/CYBER-silicon-cover-3DS-LL-Nintendo/dp/B00CXM4MG6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452389073&sr=8-1&keywords=nyan+pink+3ds+cover+case

It looks like they are starting to discontinue the older 3DS covers, I got mine for $18. There are other patterns available if you search Nyan Cyber 3DS for both the older and newer version on Amazon! Hope that helps!

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 found the same product on amazon US by searching in 10 seconds...

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B011ILD57E/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Does anyone know of a case that could work with the Nyko power grip? I want to try to protect the top of my system, the only case I found so far that may work is this [one] ( http://www.amazon.com/eForCity®-Snap--Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B004T0G8O4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1407788039&sr=1-1&keywords=Nintendo+3ds+clear+case)

The Japanese one is almost always in stock. It's the one I have and it got to me within a few days after ordering. The only difference is that it says "3DS LL" instead of "3DS XL" on the front.

http://www.amazon.com/Clear-cover-Nintendo-official-licensed-products/dp/B008YAALT8/

i use http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi%C2%AE-TechSkin-Definition-Anti-Bubble-Replacement-ds/dp/B008JHH5RC/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1395297348&sr=8-10&keywords=3ds+protective+skin with http://www.amazon.com/Clear-cover-Nintendo-official-licensed-products/dp/B008YAALT8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1395297634&sr=8-2&keywords=3ds+xl+hori+case

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

It's actually pretty awkward. My friend bought one, and neither of us liked it very much. I'd wait 6 months, when 10 other companies have made a version.
personally, I'm using this: 3DS Pull n' Go Folio. It's pretty sturdy, about the size of a small fabric 10 CD case, and has room for 29 3DS/DS games. The pull out case is what the console lives in. It velcros into the bigger case, and has room for 3 carts(including the one in the 3ds)

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.

Here you go

https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-3DS-version-X/dp/B0093W7KG8

I recently purchased a Galaxy N3DS XL, so I wanted to protect mine as I am super OCD about scratches and wear and tear.

I bought this clear cover after reading reviews about the Hori not being quite clear and a little loose: TNP New 3DS XL Case - Ultra Clear Crystal Transparent Hard Shell Protective Case Cover Skin for New 2015 Nintendo 3DS XL LL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018DM48BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_zJU6yb7TQ0522

In addition, I like to keep my things in one place when not using, so I purchased this case that fits charger, cartridges and the 3DS. It also fits the 3DS with the clear cover on it: Keten New 3DS XL Case for Nintendo New 3DS/ New 3DS XL Hard Travel Protective Shell for Nintendo Console& Game, Also for Anker External Battery Store https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FDA42PU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_pMU6ybK2QC85D

I'd recommend the 3DS Pull and Go Folio. It has a large flap inside that holds over 20 carts. There's also a mesh pocket for the charger, and the portion that holds the 3DS attaches with Velcro and can be easily removed to take it on the go. Inside the removable 3DS pouch, there are also two slots for carts. I use the entire folio to store all my games, but usually just remove the 3DS pouch and throw it in my bag before heading to work. I should also note I use this case with a 3DS XL, and it fits just fine.
The only time I take the whole folia with me is when I'm going out of town.

You can see pics of the case here: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-Pull-Go-Folio-Black/dp/B004KPH7TS. Happy hunting!

Edit: I can't math. The flap holds 18 games, front and back. The inside panel of the back of the folio has an extra six slots. The 3DS pouch holds two. And obviously the console itself can store one. So 27, in total.

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.

http://www.amazon.com/CTA-Digital-Nintendo-Cartridge-Storage-Solution/dp/B004MPR0ZC

http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Handheld-Game-Cartridge-Vault/dp/B002CS0M7O

http://www.amazon.com/Cartidge-Carrying-Yellow-Nintendo-Cards/dp/B004QEAXJE

Basically, just remove everything after where it starts saying ref=

This is by far the best case I've had, and it's only 15 bucks on best buy. also i got the screen protectors from gamestop and that's it

Back when I had the 3DS XL, I had something similar to [this] (https://smile.amazon.com/Black-Crystal-Case-Nintendo-3DS-XL/dp/B00TKVWVOS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1506112960&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=3ds+xl+grip&psc=1&smid=A26BKZHHS8SI0Z). I would consider this the best grip.

For the N3DS XL, I got this.
I actually don't like the new grip much since it forces your hands towards the buttom of the 3DS, making it difficult to reach the shoulder buttons easily. It is better than nothing so I continue to use it.

Not good at formatting but here are links to amazon for solid color new 3DS cover plates. Each link is a different color. Price points are around 10-12 dollars. Pretty cheap!

EDIT: some of them might be running out of stock soon!

I use TPU cases for both of my N3DSXL's and another one I had to special order from overseas for my N3DS. They do a good job of protecting the systems and still allow me to see the designs on them since I wanted something clear as I have Monster Hunter faceplates on my black N3DS looks like this, and my XLs are the Galaxy Blue and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate units.

For carrying around, I have an Amazon Basics Case that is small and light and fits in a backpack or purse easily while protecting the whole system. Fits both N3DS and N3DSXL units with the TPU cases on and uses the elastic bands to hold them in place.

For storing at home so they're kept in good shape: I have two of the Smatree Hard Protective Carrying Case which is a much bulkier case, and allows me to keep a 3DS charger with the units if I don't put much else in the zippered pouch on the top half. The inner pouch with the ability to lift it out is an interesting design for keeping the system protected and is a snug fit for N3DSXL's with the TPU case on, but still doable.

Amazon Link for HORI N3DSXL TPU case. It used to be much cheaper, so look around to find the best price.

Amazon Link for the Japanese version HORI N3DSXL TPU case. This alternate link is about half the price for the same exact product that's above.

eBay link for a New 3DS TPU case. I recommend this for N3DS units as the glossy plates are easy to scratch on N3DS units and the plates can be hard to get as it is, don't want them to get scratched when they're hard to find or expensive.

Finally, no matter what unit you get: Always use a screen protector and get one once you decide which system to get to have it ready for when you finally get your system. Some people have waited on getting protectors and have scratched screens day one since the plastic over the touch screen is quite soft.

New 3DS IllumiShield Screen Protector Set

New 3DS XL Tempered Glass Protector Set Note: I have used and recommend the HORI brand, but those seem to be out of stock on Amazon and I'm not sure where to look for it.

Then, there's also GRIPS for the units as they're quite small and thin and quite a few people have problems holding their units. I like the styles from CyberGadget and use their grips, but there's also silicone grips that some people like. You can take off the TPU case on the bottom and put the grip on and just store the TPU case somewhere as you use the top half of the TPU case to protect the top shell of your unit. Obviously, any grip out there will bulk up your system and make them less portable and unable to fit in any of the cases. However if you're at home, it's nice to be more comfortable with your gaming sessions.

The two I'll link are my preferred grips for several reasons: They keep everything on the 3DS accessible as some of the grips are known for blocking off the game card slot and even the stylus, they have a game card door on the back that can store 2 game cards in there, they're easy to put on and take off, and won't scratch your system as they're covered in a rubberized material.

New 3DS Grip from CyberGadget You should be able to find it cheaper elsewhere.

New 3DS XL Grip V2 from CyberGadget I use this every day on the N3DSXL that I play.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZE3O522/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SKJWZFXSLPUZ

Simple game carrying case and USB charger are pretty sweet.

I have this, myself, and it works pretty nicely for my New 3DS. It has space for 6 games and a pouch for other stuff that's relatively slim (I keep my USB charge cable there, but that's it). It's not pretty, but it does the job - prevents my 3DS getting damaged.

I prefer physical cartridges so I use one of this.

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.

Try searching for a TPU case from Hori also maybe consider a pouch for extra protection

This one says it holds 24

1. i like this case. but any hard case will do :D
   
2. yes, i think is a must!!! any tempered glass screen is fine
   
3. This is the one i bought, but any class 10 card should do the work

I got this TPU case from Hori, it's one of the best cases I've ever had for any device. It hardly adds any bulk to the device and is nearly crystal clear. It's softer than plastic so it won't scratch the 3DS' surface but it's also hard enough to provide decent protection. It's hands down this subreddit's favourite case.

i dont know how to make them less noticeable, but I do recommend getting a case of some sort. Since I have a limited edition 3DS XL i went and got this clear case and it is excellent.

Thanks! It's this case from Amazon.

I bought one from amazon, and it was decent quality, but it came with a few minor dings which I suspect could turn into quite a few more over time.

I had simultaneously purchased a Hori cover from amazon, and it is head and shoulders above the no-name aluminium one. The Hori feels semi-rubbery, and hugs the system really well, but was also relatively easy to take off. The generic aluminium one from amazon made me concerned about potential scratches from the gaps between the system and the case and it didn't seem to grip my device really well, especially the cover for the top.

I don't know of any others that cover the L and R buttons but you could just get a simple hard case when your not using it.

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 would love this because I don't like scratches. :P

Been using this one for awhile. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018DM48BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_amtxDbKX2HMG6 Same as yours but no hinge. Works great for me.

Here it is

I have this case and I love it. It's clear so I can see my pretty LE system. It doesn't let the system close the the point of anything making contact with the screens. And it is very thin. the clear N3DSXL version does not have hinges that the other versions do, so you don't have to worry about them breaking. The case snaps in place and doesn't slide around at all.

Highly highly recommend. I can get a picture later if you'd like.

This is the one I ordered from Amazon about a year ago for my limited edition Pikachu New 3DS XL. As long as you clean the system and make sure there are no dust/dirt particles inside the case it works beautifully. It was only about $10.

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've been wanting to model one like this one for a while now, but I haven't had the time. There's a few already made on thingiverse, but they're all like this, and don't look very ergonomic.

Wooo sexy fellow brother! We know have VERY rare peices of 3DS history as they are going to VERY much in demand and sought out with all the new Fire Emblem games coming out, and dual IPS screens on top if it! Be sure to get a protector for that thing ASAP!

This one is popular but I didn't like how easily it slide off 3DS on the corners and it was already yellow out the box

Love the HORI screen protectors, highly recommend to keep your IPS screens in top shape and protected

I prefer this case as it stays put on the 3DS and doesnt' yellow and shows the sexy design very well of FIre Emblem

I like this one. I have the SNES edition and want to be able to see the graphics. I like it.

heres one with more game card holders and a zipper for where the accesories go for $11.99

Nice!


I spent a bit more, but I feel like it was worth it. I got a Mario Party: Island Tour blue 3DS XL bundle for $130 (free shipping, no tax). I found one of these cases on clearance for $6 at Sears. I also picked up Pokemon Y ($15) and A Link Between Worlds ($20) from the kmart sale. About $170 for a 3DS XL, 3 games, and a case (all new as well). Merry Christmas indeed!

Hori is a great brand honestly. It's cheap but the quality is... well what you'd expect as long as you put it in right. If you're like me and have troubles with removing air bubbles, you might have some problems but I don't think I've seen anybody complain about them yet.

I use their case too if you're ethinking about exterior protection too http://www.amazon.com/Clear-cover-Nintendo-official-licensed-products/dp/B008YAALT8

This. Does not scratch the system and does not add much bulk.

EDIT: I personally use it for my Animal Crossing 3DS XL and it looks great. I highly recommend this case.

Just this cheap amazon special. Here

for anyone that has a new 3DS that can use faceplates.

Nice collection and great video! Here's another item to add to the collection, the Japanese Smash 3DS faceplates for the New 3DS (non-XL): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O9GW9MI/

ORAS transparent covers

A metric fuckton of Pikachu

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

I'll update if I can find moar

If you don't mind the size, the standard size N3DS has a Fire Emblem Fates faceplate.

Wow, you are totally right, I did not realize that. The only thing I could find was this but it is third party seller only. I looked on ebay too and didnt find much of anything either.

And I don't think the NEW 3DS XL grips will fit the old model as they are just different enough in exterior dimensions.

I bought this one for the 3DS XL. it looks like there is a similar one for the regular 3DS. It was not my first choice, but Play Asia was out of the one I wanted, so I went with this cheap one. It seems pretty flimsy, but so far it has held up just fine, so maybe it is designed better than I think. Alas, I have no idea if it would fit over a sticker.

Gotcha! I tried searching them up myself with key words but I couldn't find it so I see what your issue was. Just went back on my order history and found it, so here you go

Cover Plates No.039 Smash Bros. (new Nintendo 3DS) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O9GW9MI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ormoybAPM95C0

Oh no! I recommend one of these. (Which I'm sure you can find cheaper elsewhere.) It protects it perfectly!

I suggest getting him a case, that will hold a few games and extra things like headphones, a USB charger, and maybe extra styluses.

I have one similar to this one and it's held be over for quite a few years.

Also, buy a pack of styluses. Kids can easily lose them sometimes and you'll want a few back-ups just in case.

http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Crystal-Compatible-Nintendo-3DS-X/dp/B0093W7KG8

I found this which seems to fit the bill for what I had in mind. I also have a Pokemon X and Y 3DS (the blue one) so I'm trying to get as little obstruction of the design as possible, so I'll see how it turns out.

The official is much more expensive but most people I know have this to protect the system. If you are looking for a platform we then the best are Donkey Kong, Super Mario 3D World, Cave Story, Shovel Knight and Super Mario Maker. My favorite of them all was problems 3D world or Mario Maker but it depends on your style. Watch some YouTube videos to find out what you like. Also if you like Metroidvania type platformers Metorid Samus Returns is good and so are the Virtual Console Castlevania games but you won’t be able to play the snes ones with a normal 2ds.

it’s on amazon!

but oof idk why its so expensive now :(( i bought it years ago

Enjoy and show that Pikachu off

http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL505-Case-Black/dp/B00A5LK6QM

This is the one I personally use and love it. Don't buy it from here though. It normally goes for $15. I only linked this one for the pictures.

• Here's a better picture. http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/tru_prod_images/Nintendo-3DS-XL505-Case----pTRU1-15272455dt.jpg
  
  
• IDK if this is actually the same exact model I use, but it's almost identical. And it says it holds 8 games but I've actually been able to fit 2 games in each sleeve. It also says it's for XL but it has a little extra room to fix a N3DSXL.

Ever thought about getting the Pull N Go Folio which holds 29 games? Or something like this which says it holds 22 for $4.

Here's a good case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0711K97BS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There is this soft plastic case I use for my Zelda 3DS XL. Link it is really nice, super high quality, and if you search the subreddit you may be able to find someone with pictures of one on their Pikachu XL. I seem to recall that being a major factor in me purchasing it. It's amazing and I have had no issues with it vs. peeling issues when using a cheap hard plastic case on a regular 3ds in the past.

Edit: It says hard cover but it's pretty flexible so I consider it 'soft' plastic.

I personally love my 3DS, and I'm into protecting it in every way I can. So here's how my 3DS is setup.

What I use for my 3DS, is a skin (These not only protect from scratches, but they transform your 3DS into something new, as if you got a limited edition 3DS.) The best skins are from DecalGirl.

I then have a hard case, that I got for $5 on Amazon. It does a good job to keep my 3DS in a case, so it won't be sitting out getting dusty and ready to be dropped. It also helps when traveling, to keep my 3DS in a shell. This is the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009E0QO8O/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have an EA sports carry bag that my friend gave me, it holds my 3DS in the card case, and my 3DS games (I have that club nintendo game card case). But this bag is pretty old xD Still useful though!

I forgot to mention, screen protectors! Important, and worth getting. You MUST put these on before putting on a skin. These are the ones I have for my XL: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ZAZ9KI/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now to enhance my 3DS experience, I got a Supercard DSTwo to expand it's capabilities. Now I can play GBA, SNES, GBC, NES games all on my 3DS. As well as any DS game. It also allows you to view images and videos~

My last protection, is myself. I ALWAYS KNOW where my 3DS is at all times. I always return it to the hard case, and put it in my carry case when I finish playing. Knowing where everything is can save you in the future. Don't be someone who leaves their 3DS at a movie theater like my friend did.

One final tip is battery saving. Back then, my Gameboy Advance SP lasted more than 4 years long, but the battery gave up on me. I'd always abuse it by charging it over and over, even when it was on 100%. It only needs one charge, just don't disturb the charging and let it complete itself. You never have to worry about it overcharging, it automatically disconnects when full.
You may want to use a lower brightness, and turn 3D off, as a bright screen with 3D is a battery killer! Also, playing online consumes more battery, so definitely be sure 3D and brightness is down when playing online. Having the wireless switch on also consumes just a bit, but not worth turning off.

I hope this helps you =)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime you want :3

Here ya go

Edit: I almost bought the blue/ yellow ones the other night, you might get that last one lol

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!

I use this one and absolutely love it

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009E0QO8O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Console fits snugly, alone with four game slots and a mesh pouch that can hold some other games or a stylus. It fits great in a bag and is about as small as possible while also having a hard shell that seems really safe. Also you can't argue with $2.50!

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.

I use This baby, its not really that thin but has enough room for all my games plus charger and earphones. Maybe it works for you as well

How much room is left after you put the 3DS XL and Vita in there. Do you think I would be able to fit my Vita and 3DS Game cases in with it?

Bundle includes (would rather not sell items separately):

• White New 3DS (NA region) with Hori screen protectors already installed
  
  
• Super Smash Bros. plates
  
  
• Two sets of Animal Crossing plates, this one and this one
  
  
• YUYIKES premium USB charger
  
  
• Black travel case
  
  I can also provide the original box, AR cards, etc. if you'd like. I will provide pictures as soon as I'm home! How much are you willing to pay for the bundle? Used versions of the NA regular sized, New 3DS typically selling for ~$250-300 on Amazon and eBay. Lowest I would go is $200, plus shipping for everything.

It's available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Crystal-Case-Nintendo-3DS-XL/dp/B00TKVWVOS

I highly recommend the dreamgear comfort grip. I use the bottom half only and use a clear case for the top half so i can admire the top of the hyrul 3ds xl. They make it for both xl and original. If you look around on amazon or ebay, you can find them for a pretty good price.

I bought this one as the US version is always out of stock, its exactly the same except it says LL instead of XL. Arrived in a few days.

similar to this

A good case is really all you need. I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-Pull-Go-Folio-Black/dp/B004KPH7TS and have been extremely pleased with it.

try this maybe?

I got a really cheap one here. I kind of regret it because the cartridge holders are awkward and small, the case itself has loud zippers, and there's nothing to hold any spare styli except a little net.

As a Huge MonsterHunter Fan who put in over 460 hours into MH4U, I bought this grip set (when I had logged around 160 hours) and it worked fine for me. It does not Feel like handles but does make it feel a little more like a controller. I hated it the first day but now I love it and never play without using it. You might be able to find better options, but this will do the job. (Note this is for the 3ds XL)

I got this guy as a gift and it works great. Won't fit a full wall charger, but I can fit my usb cable in there.

Never mind, here's one on Amazon. Only one left. http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-Comfort-Grip-Transparent-Black/dp/B004LQRENK/ref=pd_sim_e_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1YMHKEWMCQCWRBZDY0XH

In looking online your best bet would probably be along the lines of:
http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Power-Grip-3DS-Nintendo/dp/B0057WWR0C/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1410740508&sr=8-7&keywords=3ds+grip

or

there is a gametech one that is supposed to be the best, and there are knockoffs for it but I cannot find it.

I have an XL, covered in a TPU case, inside the XL version of the Pull and Go Folio with about 30 games, inside my backpack with my vita in it's own Pull and Go Folio.

Call me paranoid.

But the 2DS (and 'mini' tablets) isn't intended to be a 'pocket device'. In fact it's often bundled with a case whenever there are online and in-store sales. I think the notion that a portable device has to fit in your pocket isn't really a set restriction anymore. I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't market their next system this way, seeing as they already do that with the 2DS.

EDIT: Nintendo 2DS introduction video which makes sure to show off the carrying case

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.

I've got 320hrs on my MH4U using "grip 2," which you can find here. I've had zero issues, and while it's not the grip of my dreams, it's supremely better than barebacking the 3DS for hours and hours.

For US that is interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WW6WSS2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_5KL2wbMS21KNM

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:

• Nintendo Switch Neon (US)
  
• Switch Pro Controller (US)
  
• Super Smash Bros, physical game (Import Region Free)
  
• Legend of Zelda BOTW, physical game (Import Region Free)
  
• Super Mario Odyssey, physical game (US)
  
• SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSDXC - https://www.newegg.com/sandisk-256gb-microsdxc/p/N82E16820173384
  
• Carrying Case - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0711K97BS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_SFLKDbJVFJT7E
  
• USB A to USB C cable - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_uILKDbMH1M9VV
  
  So what do you think a fair asking price for all that would be?
  
  I was thinking:
  
  
• Switch - $200
  
• Pro controller - $40
  
• Smash - $45
  
• Zelda - $45
  
• Mario - $45
  
• sd card - $30
  
• Carrying Case - $8
  
• USB C cable - $6
  
  $419 total, do y'all think $400 would be a fair price for all that?

If you're just looking for a pouch the I can recommend this one enough.

8 game slots, extra stylus holder, wrist strap and it's sturdy as heck.

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?

I own this case here:

http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-3DS-XL505-Case-Black/dp/B00A5LK6QM

Pros: It's very a very good travelling case. It has quite a sturdy shell to protect the system from falls and inside it has elastic straps to hold the system and a small flap that holds 8 games. You can actually put two games in the little sleeves and fit 16 games in the flap, plus one in the N3DSXL. Plus it has some holders for extra stylus.

Cons: Quite large so it can't fit in your pocket. Has no mesh sleeve to carry any extra accessories.

I have this one and I like it: https://www.amazon.ca/iGadgitz-Black-Travel-Nintendo-versions/dp/B011ILD57E/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&qid=1481041567&sr=8-47&keywords=3ds+case

Sometimes hurts my fingers a little bit to take the console out of the case (and I have small hands), but it is a fit for the regular sized N3DS.

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?

The Smash Bros one is really nice and elegant. It looks amazing on the White new 3ds.

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

then I'd toss one of these for extra protection

ah i see.

this is the one i want

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 currently use this. It's not for an XL, exactly, but according to the top review on there, it fits an XL snugly. It can hold 23 cartridges, two of which are on the removable case that you slip your 3DS into.

There's this, but it only holds 3 cartridges.

• Beagle
  
• Maine Coon Scottish Fold
  
• Red Panda
  
  Woof :P
  
  Need to carry my games safely!

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.

I used to horde them all, but I eventually got to the point where I just didn't have room to store them all. Nowadays, unless it's a game I've got an attachment to or it's a special edition, I store them in a bunch of these things.

What I have and use right now is a Dream Gear grip.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for but it's what worked for me.
I believe there is also a version for the 3DS XL if somebody is looking for that.
I haven't been getting any cramps since I got this. So I would say that it is pretty good.

Anyway, here's a link so you can see it.

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.

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 use an ORAS Pokemon set with the version legendaries in both normal and Primal forms. Groudon's on the front, Kyogre's on the back.

They look really good on the black N3DS.

I have this case for my DS

and I use this case for storing my carts. It is a bit of a pain to get the carts out due to the 'click' when you insert them but it's not terrible. I do not actually travel much with all these games I just prefer to have them like this rather than going through all the original boxes. That said I will not ever be getting rid of original game cases, I'm a bit of a collector that way.

I do have a bunch of digital releases as well due to e-shop sales and all that. I am a sucker for physical copies all being equal but if the price is right I do go digital. My argument is that if it is the same price I will gladly buy physical since in my mind there is inherent value in the manufacturer having to produce this rather than just provide it over a server. I simply do not understand when digital is the same price or sometimes amazingly MORE than the physical versions.

Here's one:

I was going to get this for a new 3DS that I was planning to buy, but I'm going to get the NEW 3DS so this won't fit it, I suppose. I do have this same type of case on my DSi XL and it's great. Protects and feels good in the hands.

You cant go wrong with Dream gear grip. Its like a case and grip in one. Very comfortable to hold. Here is a link to og 3ds version.

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.

I bought it in September. I played a lot of Theatrhythm with the case on.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXM4MG6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Maybe it's just me? I feel like I have to press the shoulder buttons a lot harder for it to register.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Y824ZZ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I think someone else already linked a Smatree case. My only complaint is I have an N3DS Standard as well, but this case is "one size fits all" meaning it has to fit the XL so it's not a snug fit for the Standard. It's a LOT cheaper than the CitySlicker since it's not made of leather and it will also hold your charger, but it's definitely less "minimal"

I use the Pull-N-Go folio by PDP, I have one for my vita and love the shit out of it so I got one for my 3DS XL. It also fits perfectly in the case when you pull out the shim!

Well I ordered the Pokemon sprite plate, this Fire Emblem Fates cover plate from Amazon and as long as my pre-order from GameStop (or Amazon once it goes up) for the 20th Anniversary Pokemon 3DS stays good then I'll have 4.

there's a set of subtle Smash ones that I got and really liked, link in a bit

[edit] these are rad

here :)

Omg can I make a DS suggestion? Pick up a copy of Animal Crossing! I play everyday, sometimes just five minutes and sometimes almost an hour! Every time I play it's like little space time and it's so much fun :)

Also, if you can, get a cute case for it. Mine is this one and it makes me smile, plus when I play it in public sometimes people compliment it hehe :3

I have the Hestia Version of that case. I love it.

I KEEP DINGING UP MY 3DS. CRAP.

I use the brendo case and it's amazingly sturdy.

i have this. I absolutely love it.

(and so do most people it seems - amazon shows a 4.9/5 rating for these!)

For my "XL", I purchased this Crystal Case, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0093W7KG8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , I was only interested in the casing feature, but the fact that it felt comfortable and "stiffened" (not sure if that's a good word to use" the screen hinges made this purchase non-regrettable.

I'm not sure if this company has the exact casing for the 3DS, but I recommend looking at some YouTube videos of Crystal Casing, and hope for a video that helps you.

You could always buy plates off of Amazon and spray paint them the color you want. This is the cheapest plate I could find. This is the whitest/easiest to paint plates I could find.

Edit: The japanese New 3ds comes with plain white plates

Edit 2: I found this on eBay
