Bought for my son (3 years old) and he holds the system in this case with no problems. It even fits in his travel bag. He is 3 years old and likes paw prints. We don't use game holder on the back because it has game holder. But FYI, if you're using a game holder in this case, be aware that to remove it and get to the games, you'll have to completely remove the case. Another thing is that I love this business.
