Hey all,

I'm thinking about importing some games and firgured that this would be the perfect time to also get a 3ds screen protector for when I buy a 3ds, I'm screen scratched paranoid.

Anyway, there are two different screen peotectors from Hori, the brand I love for my DS lite, that I see on play asia:

http://www.play-asia.com/Liquid_Crystal_Protection_Filter_3DS/paOS-13-71-18w-49-en-70-44x5-4-6.html

Besides the $1 difference does anyone know of any difference between the two?

Thanks

It looks to me like there was just a change in packaging or something like that. It's hard to say though. I've preordered the one in the second link. Either way you are going to get a great product.

Differences are at the top screen.

For the first link, the top screen sticker size covers the whole top screen; as for the second link, it only covers the "display area" of top screen.

Why would they make 2 kinds? IMO the one that covers the whole top screen is better than the one that only partially covers it.

Alright, after findling some larger immages I believe that cw4eva is indeed correct. In the immages below the red bow shows the protector covering the entire top half, while the white box seems to only cover the screen.

Now, which one to get...

So the second one covers the whole screen but not the rest of the inside of the top half? If so, That's fine with me. That's the only part I feel actually needs protection on that half anyway.

If you like that Hori also offers a whole "system" kit, it covers everything on the inside of the 3ds:

That seems a bit excessive to me... I can understand the outer ones but closing the DS protects the inside well enough. That's one thing I love about the GBA SP and all DSs.

I completly agree, that's why I'm currently leaning toward the white box one myself, I just don't see the need to cover the entire top screen and it seems that it would be harder to get those bubbles out as well.

OK, is it possible to use that protection you just showed me, and also with ANOTHER protector, that hard case? Can i do both those? I'm thinking I want to do that.

Yeah where are the Hori 3ds hard cases? I've seen some for the DSi but i can't find a 3DS one anywhere(looking for a black one, any help guys?)

Edit: I'm looking for a 3DS case just like this Hori DSi case. I found this also on play-asia and was wondering if it's more or less the same thing as the DSi case. I'm pretty sure i just would like some more opinions on it, thanks guys.

Well, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use that interal protection with an external case, but I don't own one so I don't know for sure.

I think these got uploaded today:

Have you used the clear hard case before on another DS? I was wondering about the quality of the Hori ones. I had an off brand clear case before and it was the craps, these look much nicer, and it is by Hori who hands down make the best screen protectors IMO

Hard Hori case (I think):

Silicone case:

I want the clear case, except in black because I don't like how clear cases look IMHO. If anyone knows about a black hori harcase, let me know please :).

Ah yes, I've only seen the clear hard so far, and black silicone. I'll keep my eye out though.
