Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Smatree Carrying Case: Ultimate Protection for New Nintendo 3DS XL & 2DS XL - Black/Red by Matt Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality case that has everything you need

I have another Smatree case and found it to be very thoughtfully designed with quality materials. When I saw that they made the case for the new 3DS XL I didn't understand. Just order it. The case I used for my new 3DS XL was a bit cramped with the case I used for my device and only had enough room for the new 3DS XL and possibly a cable. The case is very pretty and roomy. The materials used appear high quality and durable and everything is very well made, from the seams to the zipper. The zipper was a bit sticky halfway, but it's not too bad and doesn't get stuck. There is enough room in the bag for the new 3DS XL to fit comfortably with the Tomee XL Crystal case. It also has a valve that can hold the 8 3DS very tightly (perhaps too tightly) and seems to hold the system in place in the case rather than being loose. Top in a zipped pocket that has enough room for a charging cable, a thin-walled condiment, a cleaning cloth, a few extra pens, and a few games. Basically, it has enough space for all your 3DS needs. It also includes a loose case with an elastic pocket designed to hold your 3DS in its case. The fit is a bit tight but matches the Tomee Crystal case and can add a bit more protection in the case. I don't really see the need for this part and will most likely use the case without it. The exterior of the case is made of soft, rubberized material that doesn't collect dust or leave fingerprints. It has a raised Smatree "S" symbol on it that looks very nice and simplistic. There are two premium Smatree branded zippers and a carabiner loop in black with a red accent. The case is quite stiff and offers good protection in pockets or in a loose position. If you're looking for a case for all your 3DS XL gear then I think this is it. Many companies make these cases without thinking or caring. Smatree cuts no corners and is fully immersed in creating a high quality and fully functional case. The price is about double the cheaper $21 Revains, but you get more than double the quality and value in my opinion. It seems ridiculous to be impressed by the case, but this case is impressive and highly recommended.
