Whats so good about the Hori Screen Protectors? i find it easier and cheaper to just but some from the shops (EB Games...) Theres alot of people on this site always refering to things like 'my Hori DS Lite Case'. Why not just DS Lite case? Can someone answer!

i think many times its just people's trust in a "brand"
and plus the internet always large selections than stores and often times cheaper

such as buying hori from DX its only $7($1.50 for fakes) and in stores i saw them at like $10
personally i like internet but i have no credit card so w.e

but i mean its not like u cant trust gamestop made stuff its good quality yea for sure
but i think ppl believe that hori is made for GAME ACCESORIES so its definitely ensuring to the customers

It's a professional brand, actually endorsed by Nintendo.

That's the main reason, and I'm actually surprised by the quality of their Screen protecter. No, I don't have some Hori this and Hori that. I have the Hori screen protector, and some no name brand DSL case. The case broke in 3 months.

As of now, after great uses, the screen protector only has a few small scratches that are barely noticeable. More like just one single scratch.

Usually, I really don't like big brand named items, mainly because of the Ipods, but Hori is actually giving great quality products, etc, and actually proved to me that it's a good brand. I do wish that their prices are a little lower though.

The DS closes for storage and I don't tear into my screen with the stylus. I see no need for a screen protector, but apparently others do.

I don't own any Hori accessories, but I hear they are very high quality. The fact that they are officially licensed provides some reassurance for buyers.

Hori is so well known because they produce great products that won't fall apart on you. I only have used their screen protectors, but I hear all of their products are "top notch."

Well, as ojsinnerz said, Hori is endorsed by Nintendo....The quality is on very high level....If I can, I'd rather pay $7 for Hori screen protectors, than $5 for no-name..
It's just as simple as that..

Actually, it does change something, if you get yourself some no-name that has glue to stick onto screen, and scratches easily, you can damage your screen, and have hard time gating protector off the screen..
and if YOU DON'T CARE...why are you bothering us, just buy yourself what would you like to have and what do you care of!!

It's true, Hori make quality products. I bought a genuine Hori screen protector while I was over in Japan, and I had some random no name screen protector on. It left this nasty residue when I took it off... and now Hori is protecting my screen.

If you're naive enough to believe that you're careful enough to not ever scratch your screen and not need a screen protector, you probably don't play your DS at all or play games like EBA.

True, try beating EBA, Ouendan or Ninja Gaiden on hard....and come here and say you haven't made any scratch on your screen......

If you do that, I believe you'll be considered a god here!!

I've beaten EBA and the Ouendan 1 (Working on Ouendan 2) and there has been some scratches but there cant be enough to call them 'serious'. My brother has played NG:DS and he has a few scratches. My screen protectors are 3rd Earth (aus) and he didn't have any. Mine are still in good condition, but the 'scratches' are more so stylus marks like any screen protector gets. I also have an R4 so I play my DS quite often

This guy speaks the truth. TC, it seems you actually HATE Hori. You don't like it, you don't buy it. People have already given you enough reasons why they are so highly considered. If you don't want to acknowledge the fact that Hori screen protectors are top notch in quality/price terms, that's fine. Go buy whatever you like.

It sounds like the OP's been lucky and wound up with a decent one from a different brand, in which case tell us which ones you're using so we can all save some money!

There are some unbranded screen protectors that are just fine, but it's a gamble you won't know the outcome of until you try one. People stick with Hori because they know for certain that they're getting something that won't leave behind a load of gunk when they take it off. Some people like to play it safe, I'm sure everyone's been stung by crap cheap products and if you do the math it can sometimes be cheaper in the long run to buy an expensive item that lasts than a cheap one that frequently needs replacing.

Krazykirk: not true, I don't have screen protectors and my system survived EBA, Trauma Centre and Canvas Caurse just fine. I must confess though, I have one scratch on my screen caused by Animal Crossing and that was only cause I was playing in the dark and something got stuck under the stylus (I felt it go).

The Hori brand protectors have multiple layers for things like glare protection and don't use glue to attach to the screen. That's what makes them better.

As for peeps wondering WHY anyone needs protectors.....I would rather scratch a protector and be able to change it than scratch the actual screen and be forever stuck with it that way. Think of the protectors as an insurance policy for continued enjoyment of your investment.

Exactly the reasons I bought [ emphasis] HORI [ /emphasis] screen protectors, let's see, a $3.00(yes, because of exchange rates and standards etc., I'm sure it's genuine) screen protector or a probably expensive as heck touch screen...I'm betting on the first one.
