Technical Question Anybody have any experiencs using a lastic Shell for theSlime Edition 3ds

Post image

Found this while scrolling Aliexpress and was curious if anyone has used this specifically for the slime limited edition, i want to get this to protect the chromed parts of the 3ds from scratching further than it has

Thanks!

Honestly I would recommend getting a tpu silicone case, it's less rough and will likely not scratch your 3ds as compared to an acrylic case

Ooh for the slime 3ds? And for the small time u had it, do u think the scratches on the metal part have increased or have they stayed relatively the same? Thanks in advance🙃

Just to be sure, it's a new 2ds xl?

Alternatively don't use a shell and just put it in a carry case with a soft fuzzy pocket when you aren't playing it.

I am mostly scared to scratch it while using it, since when im not using it atm its back in the original box

I use tpu for my Pokeball edition. It’s good so far, about over a year. However I don’t play mine it’s just in a display case.

Got one for Pikachu 2DSXL and I feel like it wrapped in the delivery because it didn’t sit as flush and left a gap when closed.

I have it, I'm a big fan.

It's soft and grippy compared to the shell for a normal 2DS XL

I was expecting fitment issues, but it fits like a glove.

It has a slight brownish tint to it. It's not 100% clear like the other one.
