But now back on the N3DS XL this glossy lacquered plastic with colored metallic effect of the first 3DS models, which, if he is very pretty, is very messy (fingerprints) and I find even the slippery grip. Being very fussy and cautious, not wanting Mauto-torture every time, I have taken the plunge.
So everything first, very simple installation, this should not be a problem to anyone. Just a tip, if like me you do not understand right away why the upper shell (with two cameras holes) is not perfectly flat in corners, hinge side of the console, it's just that you need to press a little daring for clip.
The product is made of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) that i realized it would be a silicone mixture (for the softness of the material) and plastic (to stiffen a little shells, hence the semi-rigid). The material is comfortable to handle, less slippery than plastic on the console, the rating is, I think, better. However, it is equally prone to fingerprints, but these are not as protective covers, a faster rag shot well done and that is good. The finishes and adjustments are pretty good, just a little flat for the centering holes on the cartridge board / switch / stylus, slightly eccentric but nothing nasty or dhandicapant to the use. Regarding transparency, it is not clear. The shells are so transparent, but with a slight opacity will suddenly a little dull color of the console. This is actually the only "defect" that I find these shells with a better transparency the product would be perfect. It must still know the long Quà matter will tend to slightly yellow.
Small practical information: All functions, sockets, ports, stylus are accessible, nothing is obstructed. If the nest he fact that obviously the MicroSD Port must now remove the back cover. However, these shells make incompatible the charging base, and as indicated on the packaging, these shells nassurent real protection against dust and scratches, they obviously provide no handle with care the console and if the console follows you to the outside a cover / bag SimPose.
I think I have said everything. Conclusion: satisfied!
