Love it.

all these club nintendo pouches make me sad, do they ever restock things? like the pouches, or the XL colored charging docks?

Anyone have a recommendation for a case designed to take an xl with the circle pad pro attached?

My first 100 hours with the system were with mh3u and the cpp, now I can't stand holding it naked.
 
I bought something at Target for around $10. It was advertised for the DSi XL, but fits my 3DS XL perfectly. The case has a soft, velcro-closing pouch for the system itself, 8 little pockets for games, and a zipper to keep it all secure. The appearance is completely nondescript, but it does exactly what I need it to do: keep everything from being scratched, crushed, or otherwise damaged when I just want to toss the system and some games in my bag and go.
 
Great thread! Nice to see OP updating it with pics from the posters here...since I'm on the lookout for a casing. Currently using the sleeve that it came in. But I've skinned my red 3DS XL with Skinomi's carbon fibre skin. Looks really awesome.

do you have any link for that? how tight a fit is it for the XL?

Unfortunately I don't or else I'd post it. When I was buying some games in Game instore one day it was in a box full of cases just put out. So I just bought it on the spot :) It's a perfect fit as well, not too snug and not too lose. Inside the case one side has a 'net' to put your games in and the other side has a few stretchy straps to hold your 3DS XL in place.

This is a $9.99 case from Best Buy. Holds 3 carts. I put my XL in it even when it's just sitting around the house to prevent dust from getting in the shoulder buttons and stuff. Feels pretty safe if it's dropped from a not-too-high distance. Can't really think of anything else I'd like in a case.

I think there's an identical case on Amazon by another generic brand

my pocket/backpack + buy everything digitally ftw. it's a clamshell so the screen isn't exposed, don't really need a case IMO
 
I don't really use one. My bag has a small pocket, and that's where I keep it. If that counts, then this is my bag. I bought it at Zara about two years ago. I'm not too worried about it being damaged as it provides a decent amount of protection.

I'm freeballing, haven't felt the need to buy a case so far. It's an XL so when I carry it in my pocket I look like I have a tablet in my jeans. But usually I'll just toss it in my backpack around campus if I'm fishing for streetpass tags.
 
Been using my PSP soft slip cover that came with the original PSP and it's too convinient. It even has the streetpass light out so I can see if I got hits.

Kind of off topic, do we still need to stock rubber feet on the new Zelda 3ds xl or put a cloth between before closing it to keep the screen from scratching? Mines still in the box waiting for when I have time to install my skinomi full body skin.

I doubt anything's changed, I'm going to be putting screen protectors on it before i take it anywhere or put it in any bag or pocket.
