This poll applies ONLY to 3DS owners, please don't be jackasses and post false info. At the same time I understand this is NOT a scientific poll, so take it with a grain of salt.

tutorial for the ACTUAL 3DS owners out there:


1)Open the op scren to the first click.
2)Hold the 3DS flat like a board in your left hand.
3)position index finger of right hand between the front cameras and push gently.
4)if the lid moves a little bit then please answer "YES" to the above poll.[/p]

The question is clear how many 3DS owners have a hinge that wobbles SLIGHTLY. This means it moves slightly with little to no pressure added.

your responses should go below as well.

please participate those who are eligible, I am interested in your truthful responses.

If you mean that the top screen moves when I touch it slightly, yes. Otherwise, no.

yes slight touch wobble is what is explained in the poll details.

"wobble without pressure being applied"

p.s. If you VOTE, COMMENT BELOW

those who voted no, does this mean your hinges are completely sturdy NO wobble? please reply.

If I'm moving the 3DS like I'm strangling someone, then yes. But since that's not how I play portable games, it doesn't wobble for me under normal use.

thanks, please give straight forward response, the definition of sturdy in this case is that it does NOT move with slight pressure.

Mine wobbles a tiny bit, but its no biggie, i don't play face raiders at all..though its odd i seem to remember the 3DS demo units at the nintendo event in london were all stiff, but then they were Demo units, perhaps the hinge wobble is a design feature to extend the life of the hinge?

I don't understand how more than half at this point who voted, have sturdy hinges.

Again Sturdy in this case means NO Wobble at all.

this does not make sense, a lot of people on the net are saying that its "normal" that it wobbles slightly.

However judging by this poll(which I know is problematic) it should not be like that, assuming that sturdy design is superior than wobble.

either this is a real problem in the sense that it is not normal or some people are lying here.

please keep the poll and comments going. BE TRUTHFULL!

I think its more of "what determines wobble"...so heres a tutorial for the ACTUAL 3DS owners out there:

1)Open the op scren to the first click.
2)Hold the 3DS flat like a board in your left hand.
3)position index finger of right hand between the front cameras and push gently.
4)if the lid moves a little bit then please answer "YES" to the above poll.

As for me, i'd prefer a hinge with a little give that lasts for a long time, then a stiff hinge that will simply break after a few months.
