How about you don't take the DS out of it's packet if you're scared of damaging it? Just keep it in there the whole time. Or wear gloves and play only in a white room free of dust?
Seriously you buy a product to use and then cover it up with plastic filters and such to make it more ugly and hamper playing ability. Like weird films all over the touch screen. I don't understand it.
If you want to keep it in pristine condition don't take it out of the box, if you plan to play games with it, well....Â
True. Hahaha. Actually, I only plan on playing FF3 on it. Beat the game, currently maxing out the jobs on everyone and completing the Onion set for everyone.
However, we'll never know if it will crack if I don't use it. I'ma be a guinea pig yay!... or maybe tama_mog since he's also playing his.
As for where to order... order what? The FF3 DS or the Hori stuff? Well, I order from YesAsia since I live in the Philippines since they're based in HK, I get the stuff usually in a week on the free shipping option. YesAsia has the FF3 DS, Hori Protector DSlite and the Protect Filter on stock (just came out the day before yesterday too.)
Shops like Lik-Sang or Play-Asia probably has them on stock too.
EDIT: Haha, btw... DS-less friends :/ are a pain. I really need something to protect the DS when they borrow it when we have nothing to do but 10-player Tetris DS melee
I'll check out some of those silicon protector things, since they aren't adhesive I can take them out after.
Oh and nobody's gonna touch my FF3 DS but me.
EDIT2:
My sister got one of those silicon protector things. It's nice, pretty semi-translucent. Made by Cyber Gadget too (another good "officially licensed by Nintendo" stuff maker...
:/ somehow they got a product endorsed by Saaya Irie... they should really stop making those kids do those shit. :/
