Hi folks, got my LOZ 3DS for Christmas. Read online that the bumpers were made longer (They do indeed look a bit longer) and assumed it was safe to carry in my pocket that I wouldn't get any lines, and boy...was I wrong. Got home from being at family's house the other day and my 3DS has streaks on it yes the famous streaks that sit at the top of the screen only this time they don't run along the black area of the top portion of the screen only where the game plays and lights up.
So I would think in my opinion it's safe to say Nintendo has improved a LITTLE BIT on the bumpers but did not fix the issue completely, it also seemed like a bit more pressure was needed to put on this model of the 3DS than it is needed on other systems to get the lines to appear.
So from now on looks like I will be using a microfiber cloth between my system when I close it.
