(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

Perfectly functional other than the one glaring fault - a lack of an opening for a game cart

The ONLY downfall is the lack of access to the cartridge drive

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

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

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

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 case also annoyingly covers up all the trigger buttons with it's own button pad, making it extremely hard to L-Target things in games like MH4U.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!
