He broke the screen on it, so I contacted nintendo to send it to them for repairs.

but I can clean the screen!

It has a decently large storage, nice size screen, and responsive screen

The screen was very scratchy and the touch screen would not work most of the time

The screen also looks more sharper, and it doesn't reflect as much in the sun, than it did with the 3DS

I cant remember now but either way I got a sweet system with crystal clear screens, great battery life, tons of games to play, and wifi for netflix,

The second major difference is that the screen doesn't close like other DS models.

I hated the 3D (it made me feel sick) and disliked the screen even with the 3D turned off

This 2ds is worth around 20$ not a 100$. Also the top screen was scratched and permanent marked

Well, I'm happy to report that the flat screen on the 2ds doesn't cause me any problems at all!

My 2DS is incredibly durable, surviving an accidental drop out of a truck with no screen damage and only a small scratch on the case

On a plus side, the 2DS's control placement is brilliant, placing the circle pad and the face buttons to either side of the top screen

Since you can't fold the top screen down they built in this little switch to compensate for that.

could not tell you any thing about it because I ordered it for my son birthday and when he opened it the screen is broken and does not work call and talked to amazon still waiting to see what there going to do about it other than that we have a 120 dollar peace of crap sittting on the table and my sons birth day was mess up by this because this was he's main gift

It is solid as a rock, the screen is bright, and the battery life is excellent

The face buttons (A, B, X, and Y) and circle pad are located next to the top screen while the directional pad is located closer to the bottom screen.

Clear screen, loud speaker, good controls (Albeit odd)

Overall, fantastic screen quality

You can also buy really high-quality screen covers for dirt cheap that will protect the screens, so that isn't much of a problem

With other DS and 3DS systems, its clamshell design made the bottom screen like a very flat controller

Yet a fold down top screen would've still been nice to have

I don't miss the 3D at all, and in fact, the screen seems brighter than any 3DS I've used, at highest brightness

My son seems to be enjoying this little game, he loves the mario kart, screen isn't as big as I hoped it would be but other than that it's great.

I recommend buying screen protectors and/or a carrying case, since the 2DS cannot fold shut and thus the screens could be susceptible to scratches.

The L and R buttons are placed on top of the top screen, forcing you to cradle it in your middle, ring and pinkie fingers

After one month my 2DS froze, up to this point I thought it was fine, marred only by the fact the screen in open at all time making it easier to damage and scratch the screen

It protects the screens fine vs. the clam shell design concept

You can use the Circle-Pad as a replacement for them for DS games.- BIGGER TOP SCREEN: awesome

Yet a fold down top screen would've still been nice to have.

you can't see very much and the bottom screen becomes super cramped

RECEIVED BROKEN GAME SYSTEM ,SCREEN DAMAGED

and it is fairly easy to damage and scratch the screen

The face buttons (A, B, X, and Y) and circle pad are located next to the top screen while the directional pad is located closer to the bottom screen

I also like how the top screen is protected behind a hard plastic, due to it being always exposed

Works good but screen is weird

This is an awesome handheld to own, though you mighty want to buy screen protectors to protect the screens from scratches and a clutch bag for traveling

On maximum brightness, the 2DS's screens appear a little brighter than the 3DS XL, and it weighs far less as one might expect

Screens-one "top" 2D screen, and "bottom" touch screen

you can't see very much and the bottom screen becomes super cramped

Now it is only 4 months since he had it and it is broken, there is a wide colorful line across the top screen

I don't like 3d screen because it's made my i

The screens do get dirty a lot, since there is no clamshell to cover the screens...but just clean your screens before play and your fine

My younger son broke off his top screen to his ds lite within a few months as an example

I usually cleaned the screens and buttons a couple times throughout the week, and didn't really bring it out of the house much

I'm going to focus on why I like it better than the regular 3DS.My kid got a 3DS for Christmas a couple years ago and cracked the screen

Since you can't fold the top screen down they built in this little switch to compensate for that

The screen hardly has any scratches on it which is good and everything works well

While contemplating buying a travel case to help protect the exposed screen, I managed to come up with a budget idea instead

It's actually one screen creating the illusion of two, but it's unnoticeable

Both screens could've been protected this way

Both screens could've been protected this way.

So I got a 2DS, Pokemon X (a great game, by the way), and Super Mario 64 DS and paid for taxes - all for less than the base price of the 3DS XL.Now, granted, the 3DS XL is larger device with much larger screens and does have the ability to close which will better protect the screens

While I wouldn’t say I’m too picky, I do want a sturdy system with decent battery life, a bright screen, and that’s easy to hold for an extended period of time

We were told that the engineers said that the damage had originated in the screens (although the screens had been working just fine prior to it ceasing to charge) and that to have the 2DS repaired we would have to fork over $65 + $10 return postage

Screen is sharp, speaker although single(mono) is loud.

nice system but no way to protect the screens

The screen hardly has any scratches on it which is good and everything works well

The entire back is covered in scratches, the front isnt much better, both screens also have some scratches not a ton but more then a product in "good condition" should have.

The second major difference is that the screen doesn't close like other DS models

My younger son broke off his top screen to his ds lite within a few months as an example

They were not hard to keep clean, and the screens never got scratched

Excellent e conditions love it

When you include the compatibility with original DS games, as well as Nintendo’s impressive E-shop offerings, I suspect that almost anyone could find something to enjoy
