I've got a cosmo black regular 3DS since launch and still don't have any 'scratches.' I get the straight lines on the top screen, corresponding to the edges of the bottom screen, when I don't clean it for a while, but it's just finger grease. Cleans right up, without a trace, every time.
This is exactly what mine had before I traded it fora blue 3DSXL. And that XL has no scratches. Maybe people are just mishandling these things?
same here, got on release and no scratches, but that doesn't means that the problem does no exist.Got a launch black 3DS (yes, I paid the full $250) and no scratches on mine.

Apart from screen protector, i guess a case for extra protection is good too, well at least for meIf by mishandling things, you mean using a portable gaming device by taking it out and about and playing it, then sure, I've been horribly mishandling my 3DS XL by playing it and keeping it in my pocket when out and about...
In any case, got the screen protectors. I have to say, these are the best screen protectors I've ever used. Didn't get the bottom screen protector as perfect as I did the top screen (one dust particle on the bottom screen, the top screen perfect), but wow... I've never got screen protectors on as well as these ones went on...
Anyway, hope to prevent more permanent damage to the top screen. I REALLY don't want to send my 3DS in for repair... again. Haven't been having the best of luck when it comes to hardware defects in my 3DS... This one is as perfect as I'm going to get I suppose.

For the outside right? I mean for the inside, that wrap around the 3DS XL like a candyI do have a case for it. Well, a pouch. It has kept my 3DS XL shell scratch free!
Yeah I usually keep the piece of packaging that comes with the 3DS new between the screens on it after I'm finished playing it.
