Hardware Does anyone know where I can find a crystal case for the original 3DS XL?

[kbf]

I can only seem to find for the new 3ds on ebay. I used to be able to find really cheap ones from china(I also found the store branded ones to be crap and more expensive) does anyone know where I can find the original 3DS XL crystal cases? like less than $5 like what I was paying for before?

These things are pieces of crap imo. I would spend a little more and buy a hori tpu case but thats just my opinion.

I have one for the 2ds XL and it is very good!

That's clearly not for the o3DS XL.

There's like a million of them over ebay. One seller is bound to ship to Canada. Just keep looking.

Cheaper still if shipped from Malaysia or Singapore for about CAD $4 if you don't mind the wait.

If you're looking for the hard clear plastic version, those won't do as well protecting the 3DS in a drop and are more likely to crack at the hinges. Personally, you're better of getting a zippered hard case for travel if you intend to remove the o3DSXL out of its skin when playing.

I had rubber ones in the past for my original DS and they were crap. I just want something that will make me feel more comfortable and at ease when holding my portables(I have a crystal case for my vita to) but they do wear out after about a year or so and i'm just looking to spend a few dollars not a bunch of money on a case.

This is about as cheap you'll find this product other than from aliexpress. You might want to buy several as you never know how what's in store for the China-USA trade wars upsetting the supply chain of cheap goods in the future.

Ok thanks i'll definitely keep this one in mind: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Rubb...Case-Cover-for-Nintendo-3DS-XL-F/264080411159 seems like it might be better than the hard plastic type ones iv'e been getting. I just remember having a rubber one years ago but it was some crappy target brand that glowed in the dark lol and wasn't very useful at all. But i'll try this.

The only problem of these cases is the corner where it slide to fold. It ends up breaking after a while. But I really like these cases. I have one for my old 3ds xl and it's amazing how it gives you a better grip.

What's your protector? where did you get it?

Do you mean the case? I got it from AliExpress, the pink part is metal and the black is plastic.

Do you have a link for that specific one? i'm not talking like a travel case like an actual case that goes around the 3DS to protect it.

Here is the place where I bought it:

I have two of them and I strongly recommend for the price and usability.
