GREEN New Nintendo 3DS Case for New 3DS N3DS Aluminum Metal Crystal Case Protector Cover + Free Screen Protectors

I love this case. Its exceptional. Looks great and fits super tight.Unfortunately, maybe a little *too* tight...If its misshapen AT ALL it wont lock into place on one side. Some other people have mentioned a similar problem.It fit pretty much perfectly and stayed on, but one corner of the top case didnt quite lock I to place as well as all the other edges.THE SOLUTION I came up with was to just GENTLY heat up that half of the shell and slip it on the 3ds while it was warm and - hopefully - a tiny bit expanded... more pliable. Then as it cooled off it stayed right where it was supposed to.Also after its spent so much time in that position, now it seeks to be permanently fixed in shape.So essentially I have zero complaints. 🙂

The case looks great, but the hinges broke under very light usage and now the top portion slides around. I really like the look of the case, I just think that if they go with a hingeless design, it would be perfect.Yes, the case does add a little bit of bulk to the overall system. Some people may not like this. For me, it actually makes the system more comfortable in my hand. It does add a little bit of weight as well since the case is made from both metal and plastic but it's not enough to cause concern. Any case will add some weight, this just adds a touch more.I'm actually going to try to see if the make this case in an updated design with no hinges. If they do, I will definitely buy it immediately.

It will protect your 3DS and make it look hella awesome. So far I havent noticed any major drawbacks of this except that it does get scratched fairly easy.

Was a struggle to get on a first. Don't think I'll be removing it anytime soon.

Was broken in a matter of hours. Where the top and bottom connect is this small thin part that almost broke when I was putting it on and my kids both broke them within the first day, and not even dropping them or anything. Would not by again.

It's a beautiful case, truly it is. The aluminum coated finish is great to the touch. It adds a bit more weight, but ultimately feels good while gaming. The problem rests with the top screen tabs which tie the casing together- they break WAY too easily.This is my 3rd one, and I believe each time the tabs will catch onto a thread while taking it out of my pocket. Very annoying, because again, it's an attractive case. Definitely consider buying two if this is your decision.

Hinges broke after one drop but it still protected the ds.

The case works great, but take these reviews seriously. The sides broke off and if it's dropped (even on soft material like a bed), the case tends to fall off immediately. It's beautiful and worth the price, but not that protective.
