I bought the Circle Pad Pro, especially for better handling of the 3DS XL, as it already is very small for my hands and can not easily be kept longer. The additional buttons also in regard to the New 3DS and games that support for camera etc., is a good bonus. The workmanship is very good and it fits well into the design of gray 3DS XL. It's clunky and loses the 3DS to mobility, but it was never very important to me. Charging Jack, Headphone output, volume control you can use well. Wifitoggle, SD card slot, cartridge slot and pin are unfortunately obscured and require separate from the Circle Pad. Therefore 1 star deduction. No doomsday, but a deterioration in my usage.
