Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Mcbazel Plastic Hand Grip Holder Gaming Case with Handle Stand for Nintendo New 3DS Black - Not for XL Version by Brett Morrison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Feels good but needs some modification (photos included)

Bought to better hold my 'new' 3DS. And it seems to me that now I'm holding a game console controller in my hands, and it's great! The only issues I noticed when attaching my 3DS to the grip were that the cartridge slot was closed and the power button opening wasn't wide enough. I say the power button isn't wide enough because I need a fingernail long enough to press the button enough. As for the cartridge slot, I decided to turn it on after looking at it and noticing where the slot was when I installed the 3DS. I asked a colleague to cut out the area I marked and leave me a small retaining clip along the top edge. He did what I asked which was great. I ground a new hole and filled the gap in the plastic with silicone/RTV. Then I carefully sanded the edge where I had moved the clip to hold the 3DS in place and used a small bead of MEK glue and left it on for a while to allow the small clip to hook. Now my new 3DS fits like a glove! The only SMALL issue is that when you move the clamp the right side of the 3DS feels a little loose when it's upside down, but who plays the 3DS upside down? giggle

Pros
  • Gives you a comfortable grip while gaming
Cons
