I know a vast amount of regular 3DS users had this issue and still do which is caused by the lowers screen. So I was wondering do the two rubbers they introduced on the top screen of the N3DS help at all with the well known issue?

 

Actually I've got the same marks on my 3DS XL (not New3DSXL) with Hori screen protectors on it. The marks are only in the screen protector and not on the actual screen. Afaik the XL shouldn't normally suffer from these marks but the screen protector does make the screen slightly thicker which could explain my case...

 

On my 3DSXL I had those marks

But no marks on my New 3DS (Using it from november :/)

 

I might actually buy some screen protectors. Anyone know a good EU based eBay store that sells 3DS stuff?

 

I've had this issue with a regular 3DS and a 3DS XL but the one I have now has a screen protector on both screens to be safe

 

Maybe you're right but when you have 4-6yo brothers, you can't have an eye on it 24H/7d

Anyway, I was closing it carefully but I can't exclude that my younger brothers weren't closing it carefully ^^

 

Yes. But think twice! Imagine when you put it in your pocket. It'll make a pressure between the 2 screens and probably scratch them. I don't know if the rubber actually prevent from it but I would recommand you to buy a screen protector.

I don't have one on my N3DS and I take it everydays in my pockets. It's not scratched so... I dunno.

 

Microfiber cloth? Like this? Good solution, thanks

 

I haven't had any issues on my N3DS, but on my old one I was able to just rub them off with my thumb - No screen protector. Wasn't a big deal for me and I never really noticed them until about an hour into gameplay haha.

 

i might need to buy a screen protector for the N3ds.
