See how easy it is: Nintendo 3DS & 2DS

I was pleasantly surprised by this Hori 3DS screen protector and skin set. For some reason I thought it was just a set of stickers. I couldn't tell from the photos that the protector is actually a clear plastic sleeve with stickers on it. Hence the reason for my video review - so you can see how it all works. The protector is very easy to attach. It leaves all the main buttons and ports exposed so we never have to remove it. However, the 3DS does not fit into the charging cradle due to itsโ€ฆ

Plumbing Skin for Faceplates, Protectors and Covers

There is no doubt that it has been almost a year since Nintendo introduced the Nintendo 3DS. Surprisingly, they already have some strong games, and the biggest one is Super Mario 3D Land. But there were also some accessories that could have been better than others, but this one is definitely in the shoes of any serious plumber. The Super Mario 3DS Skin Pack is a very nice set that allows you to customize your 3DS with your favorite Mario fan art. It looks really snazzy as the set includesโ€ฆ

Adds significant volume

I never thought I would need any other layer of protection for my portable gaming systems other than my iPhone. I don't carry it around in my pockets or carry it with me all the time, so there's not much chance of it falling or getting damaged. But I wanted to try this one, given the appeal of Super Mario. I will say that Super Mario's graphics are creatively designed and mimic the 3D aspect of the 3DS as it has a layered look that gives it depth. The housing consists of two easy to assembleโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Faceplates, Protectors and Covers
Cons
  • There are bugs

Hori 3DS Mario Protector and Skin Set

The product arrived in a small printed box instead of the usual blister pack. The protector has a Super Mario design on the front. It goes very well with the 3DS and I don't see a rainbow effect yet. It has all the controls and ports to let you play the game, switch cards, adjust the volume, and insert and remove the stylus while it's connected. The packaging says it protects the 3DS from dirt and scratches, but not bumps, so a shock-absorbing case is still an essential addition. Also, the 3DSโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Legacy Systems
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Nice case but the skins that come with it are terrible

Hori generally makes high quality video game peripherals and in fact I already have a clear Hori case for my Nintendo 3DS which I'm generally happy with. So the good news is that the Mario art case included in this set is the same clear case as mine but with Mario art on it. The case comes in two separate pieces and attaches securely to the top and bottom of the 3DS. That's a good thing because if you have a larger battery like me or want to use a 3DS stand, you can just use the protective case

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Empty

Silicone vs Polycarbonate

I've reviewed both the silicone and polycarbonate (clear plastic like in this product) versions of Hori cases, so I'll post my comparison review below. . The only difference is that Mario-themed stickers are included. The stickers on the lid are already attached. It's great, but there was some slight warping around the edges of the lid, which is really noticeable on the crystal clear body. The stickers inside the 3DS are fun but look very cluttered. It's a matter of preference, but I think most

Pros
  • Nintendo 3DS and 2DS
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
