In addition, I didn't like the silicone R and L button

It provides great protection and does not interfere with his gaming.

Great feeling, good grip, nice protection and ability to stand the device on the case

The case fits perfectly and offers great protection and comfort

And the R and L buttons are really hard to push

and when he woke up and went to play he was thrilled!Perfect fit in our

Bought two of them for the two "New 3Ds XL" we have at home, both felt like they were a poor fit.

Upper shell could be slight tighter but all in all a fine fit.

ok quality good fit and has stopped a few breaks from dropping

Comfortable and soft with good protection (L and R buttons would be most vulnerable but are fully covered.)Provides a decent palm offset for a more ergonomic use

One thing that you don't realize right away based on the product photos though is that the "tabs" that extend under the shoulder buttons make R and L feel like triggers, which can be a bad thing; you don't have tactile feedback of the button press when doing so, and actually the tab kind of gets in the way sometimes

Great feeling, good grip, nice protection and ability to stand the device on the case

Adds much needed hand holds and offers decent protection while providing a nice feeling and grippy surface

In that area of the 3ds, the rubber isn't snug, so that it can still have its open/close functionality, and because all the shoulder buttons are covered in loose rubber you may miss L,R, ZL, and ZR inputs.

Also, bonus, the case covers the LED enough to dim them to a not-so-eye-piercing lumen level

This seems like a much better solution than mangling the case with an exacto knife

This is an excellent case that is very comfortable to grip and protects my

This is by far the best case there is for the new 3ds xl

just in case dirt gets into the rubber and RUBBS against your special edition 3dsNOT saying it did

Great product, but top and bottom can come apart easily

This product, the DreamGEAR Comfort GRIP case completely solves that problem

I would recommend this product to anyone who owns a 3DS.

The product itself would have been great, however, it did not properly fit our brand new 3ds xl.

Product is comfortable and provides a great cushion for the DS should it fall.

The item arrives on time, it has good quality and good price, people who received it, was very happy with this gift.

It doesn't really add anything in the comfort department but the rubber is of good quality.

The L/R buttons are are sometimes too stiff and will be held down or too sensitive that it will just activate on it's own, thus you'll probably have to make more holes in order to enjoy this product

Very comfortable, but I'm confused as to why it doesn't have a cut out for the game card slot.

The grip is not without a fault but the comfort overrides the issues for me

Comfort wise it has been better than without it, and the case has indeed protected my DS from a drop

And the R and L buttons are really hard to push

I thank you for your time reading my review of the dreamGEAR comfort GRIP for the new nintendo 3ds.

Very comfortable, but I'm confused as to why it doesn't have a cut out for the game card slot.

I bought the dreamGEAR comfort grip because my hands tend to cramp up when playing the 3DS for extended periods

I used the original dreamGEAR comfort grip for the 3DS XL for the longest time

It is a loose fit, flimsy material that does not stay on or fit well.

I love the soft, squishy material because it feels so comfortable to hold

there is no opening for the cartridge and the material is flimsy and not well fitted

But it's not for me, I just don't like touching this material.

On mine, the top cover didn't fit quite right and the Z/back buttons weren't working right.

The top cover doesn't fit near as well, which is why I don't use it, but that's not what I was buying it for anyway

One of the best features is that this case comes in two parts--one for the bottom and one for the top cover, which allows the user to display the graphics and colors of the new 3DS covers while protecting the bottom part of the console.

Removing the top cover fixed the problem, but left me without protection.

I don’t even see the need to cut out a slot for the game which in my opinion, makes the cover look not so nice

It also doesn't have the most important thing about 3ds

Wow, not a single bad thing to say about this product-it's amazing!!

I love this thing, I had dreamgear with my old 3ds xl as well

Only bad thing about this case is that the card slot holder is not cut out, so if you want to change games you have to take the left lower corner off, its not real hard to do though.

The only bad thing about it is that it attracts animal hair like crazy

My son is very clumsy and his ds is 100% protected with this on

If your like me and holding a D's hurts your hands after so long, this is a great help.

the button the edge is slightly hard to press and it deforms the case3

It's like when you cut a wooden board and there are rough and sharp edges

BUT this product has one of those uncut/unfinished edges on the hand-held part that is pretty deadly when holding onto

Weird as hell design flaw there, but I'm not above doing a little minor modifications :

If your like me and holding a D's hurts your hands after so long, this is a great help.

One major design flaw is that you have to take off the cover to load a new game cartrige

The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is a serious design flaw

Would never buy again due to issue with fitting over the top L and R buttons, it either sticks or doesnt sit over it.

The bulge on the back that works ad a finger rest also allows you to use the L and R triggers like a normal controller.

and I'll probably eventually end up buying one of the harder plastic ones, because this is way too soft (it's not solid rubber, it's like a waffle/honey-comb thing

Unlike others on the marker that are hard plastic with a thin layer of rubber coating (that will most likely wear off over time

(The lack of hole for a game slot doesn't cause me too much trouble.)My biggest complaint is that the triggers are a little unwieldy to press, especially when a trigger is the sprint button and I'll be holding it for a long time

The only drawback to this grip is the lack of the game slot

Only downside is the lack of opening for the game cart.

On a personal note, my hands are prone to cramping after just a few minutes of gameplay on my DS XL, now I can comfortably enjoy gaming for as long as I want!

I chose 4 stars because the grip lacks a slot for game cartridges

Great product, fits perfectly, feels great, I like it even more than I thought I would; however, minus one star for having to go to Staples and buy an X-acto knife to cut a hole for game cartridges myself

The ports are all in the right places and the rear R and L buttons are still sensitive and it gives those buttons a nice trigger effect

Very comfortable, but I'm confused as to why it doesn't have a cut out for the game card slot.

It doesn't get rid of hand cramps, but it certainty helps

Really helps with the hand cramping when playing for extended periods of time

It felt nice in his hands, but he kept taking it off because it causes the buttons to stick on and interfered with game play

The one issue I have with it is it makes the L and R buttons feel too mushy

And when I do press the L and R buttons myself let's say when playing smash bros, the buttons stay pressed when all I do is gently pull the rubber triggers
