The best screen protecter is Nintendo 3DS Screen Protective Filter .

I believe that this is caused by the lower screen's borders hitting the unprotected upper screen and scratching the surface

its pretty scratched didnt come with pointer even screen has scratches head phone jack pretty much unusable

My only problems are that video like Netflix isn't in hd and when you close the system it leaves lines on the top screen that may be permanent.

Otherwise, try to learn to manage it or don't buy the system.7)[Your have to buy an add on that uses AAA batteries, the screen scratches itself when shut]

Tiny upper screen, low resolution, only one analog nub, terrible cheap d-pad, unimpressive selection of games, and worst of all: the total reliance on the 3D gimmick to sell the system

The bottom screen will be like your desktop.

The touch screen (bottom screen) is about the size of the DS lite's, while the top screen is about maybe a centimeter or two wider than the DSI's top screen

Nice 3D screen

No new screen issues.

The top screen would move about one centimeter back and forth during game play if you move the 3DS around too much in your hands.

The smaller screen kind of makes the 3D harder to tolerate over longer play times

So, it's back to perfect purse or pocket size, but the screens are a bit smaller as well

On the top screen you will see the 3D on or off switch

It takes a lot of guts for Nintendo to use a screen like this 3Ds screen in a device

The combination of a simple online experience/eShop, glasses-free 3D, sturdy components, crisp screens, DS backwards compatibility, and fun, free applications makes this console a must-buy for fans of portable gaming

Due to the 3D effect though, characters in the top screen appear quite small, but to me it isn't such a big deal

The screen and graphics are so crisp, there is nothing like it

As a mom, I'm thankful that it can close to prevent it from breaking or cracking the screen if it falls or gets dropped

Speaking of 3D, it can also take pictures and record video in 3D as well, using two cameras on the opposite side of the top screen

The bottom screen is touch implemented as always, and the top screen is equipped with a new 3D feature

I have an eye RX of -8.5 and had trouble seeing the screen.

so...big issue for a handheld, but somewhat understandable because of the 3D effect's drain on the battery as well as the two screens

The tip still is rubber plastic, so you won't scratch your screens

The Bottom Screen Scratches the top screen and leave a mark, so buy screen protectors and put them on immediatly

Also, the odd screen resolution reduces the quality of some DS games, most notably Pokemon

I love my 3DS, but will not be trading in my DSI because I like a bigger screen for some of my games that rely on meta skills vs graphics.

Also, yes it plays DS games, but the top screen when playing DS games have black bars on the side

Works awesomely but I'm a little concerned how the top screen is a little out of place

Playing the 3D ones are great, but only the top screen is 3D. And as in the past, only the bottom one is touch capable

3DS slider located on the side of top screen

The top screen is a wide screen, so now you'll be able to enjoy all the new games in widescreen!

3d effect looks great when you look at the top screen straight on.

The device is a little glitchy at times (faint images from the screen intended for the other eye, failing to wake up from sleep mode for a minute or two) and the top screen is a bit wobbly

The 3d effect of the top screen definitely exceeded my expectations.

The top screen is pleasantly large, and the bottom screen is just a tiny bit smaller

First of all, the screen is gorgeous on this thing

the game will freeze and turns on...the blue screen.

Relax, it's not permanent and the changes only appear on the 3DS top screen

At first I thought it was one of the coolest things ever, the screen is bright, and the 3D is amazing

The 3DS has 2 screens, a touch screen and a top screen, which is really a personal "pro," as many may prefer the one larger screen of the Vita

The screen was nice and bright and I never felt as though I were missing something.

You have the ability at all times to turn off the 3D with a slider switch on the side of the top screen

3d slider; Control the 3d settings with this little slider thingy on the right of the top screen

so i bought this for my GF as a present having a purple one of my own i love the system only because of the elevated touch screen on the bottom it can scratche the top screen and there are reports of the L/R buttons breaking

The system also includes apps built in: Face raiders, AR games (augmented reality) and Mii maker, Fun fact: (you can transfer your mii's between the wii and 3DS) a 2GB SD memory card is also included.- Other little perks: You can play mp3's on it, You can take pictures in 3D or in 2D, when in sleep mode the 3DS acts as a pedometer, it tracks your steps gets you points, and unlocks coins to redeem for extra in-game content!- If you care about graphics: Nintendo stepped up their game, not only with a crystal clear screen but with graphics on par with the wii.- Child reception: 99% of the kids I've demoed the 3DS to, have really enjoyed it, it's easy for them to pick up on and get into

The bottom screen won't scratch easily unless you get a little violent with it

that's all though)Looks shinyCons:The bottom screen is to high and scratches the top screen when closedThe battery life is only 5 hours (very low)Good 3DS games are too few and far

Since the 3DS first came out back in March numerous issues were reported such as people repeatedly getting black error screens, the top screen being yellow and discolored, and the system not being able to update and go online

There are no obvious signs of damage but the top screen developed a "crack" and from there more "cracks" developed which caused all the colors to bleed turning the screen black.

When the 3D starts to happen on the top screen, it appears like the top screen is going away from you

The screen has not gotten any scratches as some people have claimed to have problems with

is a bit more than your standard handheld.- You need to obviously focus on the "sweet spot" which is looking directly at the top 3D screen at a specific angle and distance.

When main screen came on I noticed by this point that the back light for the top screen had quit working at all.

The touch screen works with the smaller screen as well, but with at least 358/2 days I was able to control the camera past the screen size in the black areas, so this might affect DS games that rely on precise touch screen controls

and once you get use to holding the 3DS in the "sweet spot" it's easy to keep the screen clear and crisp

Then the upper screen broke and wouldn't show full colors

The system also has backwards compatability with most DS software, and has a significantly better touch screen and stylus than its predecessors

and I couldn't quite convince myself to shell out that much money, but the screen on this is a really nice

Yes, the top screen does not display the full width, but the image quality is actually better than the DS(i).

BUT, there are several cool visual screens, and yes, even a mini game implemented

Got to me when it said it would, had a few little scratches and nicks here and there, but overall it looked and functioned pretty great and the screens were crystal clear

You can also hold Start + Select when you load a DS game to play in the native resolution of the game, which plays them in a really small square in both the touch screen and top screen

The screen LIT UP like the 4th of July, not even kidding

BUT, i am very happy to say that it worked very well until the day i broke the touch screen (my fault)

Once I get my hands on the htc 3d evo, the screen will disappoint me to no end.

They chose a great quality screen and it will be exciting to see what games will put a smile on our faces in the future

Bottom screen has numerous scratches that are easily visible during gameplay, as well as scratches on the outside
