What 3DS XL cases do you guys use?

Do all the DSi XL stuff fit the 3DS XL?

I found a case and docking station combo that I really like but they are designed for the DSi XL.
 
Do you think a 3ds would fit in there if it had a protective shell around it too?

Can't say for certain. Have you compared it to an XL? The XL fits in there nicely with a little bit of wiggle room. I'm guessing your shell isn't massive enough to make your entire rig larger than an XL. So... yes, I guess?
 
Outside using a carrying case, I also use these:

I don't know if you can still get them, but these are click on covers and the insides have material that protects the finish very well. So that might be something to consider outside of a carrying case.

I actually use a zippered Parappa the Rapper PSP pouch I picked up back when I lived in Japan.

It fits a 3DS XL like a glove and has some little built-in pockets I occasionally use for extra games.

Here's a pic from Play-Asia for reference:

I have that too lying around, though I stopped using it because it was kinda hella awkward.

are those hard plastic or flexible like that tpu cover omega x mentioned?
 
no case. its a fucking toy yo!

goes in my bag center pocket.

while my vita is cased up because if you sneeze the screen will get scratched.
 
Hope that helps! Photos of the MH4 leather case:

Got mine from there. Heavy price, but leather will always be more expensive. Seriously, it almost seems too nice for my XL.
Thanks for the pics and link! I can't believe I didn't think of Play-Asia on my own. I'm going to have to seriously consider this. It's just so fucking sexy. Goddamn. It even looks like I'll be able to fit my wallet in there, too!

Sorry, i meant an XL w/ a case. Wondering how tight of a fit it is. The shell adds a couple of mm, would be my guess.

They seem more metal-like than plastic actually, but they are hard covers, yeah. It doesn't feel that much different to me than the normal 3DS body, on the inside they're lined with a thin layer of foam or whatever it is, so it can never scratch the 3DS itself.

I'm using this one for my XL.

I know it's bigger, but I can fit everything I need in it in, and what's nice is that if I need a smaller case, the part that hold the system is removable with two game card slots.

I use a DSi XL one from when I had that system. It's red and my 3DS XL is blue, but I can't be bothered to spend money to match the color.

That Monster Hunter case is gorgeous. Someone mentioned a clear plastic (or silicon?) HORI cover in another thread recently. I'd like it to be a very thin profile since I usually carry it in my back pocket when going to lunch -- does anyone have a link to this perhaps? I didn't use a case with my OG 3DS but I want to keep my Zelda one looking good. I have a feeling the finish will be a lot easier to damage than the OG aqua 3DS.
 
I love having access to Hori products here in Taipei. Hori from Japan are the gold standard in cases and protective shells, etc.

I use this one too, but l've since run out of room for my games. Anyone know of a game only case that can fit roughly 30 games?

I use the Club Nintendo pouch as well. Love it :-D specially because I hate covers and stuff that makes my devices clunkier and don't really like carrying games along with my portables.
