ALLONE new3DS XL Aluminum Metal Case Protector Cover -Blue-

Great case!! adds some weight which actually makes it easier to play games. Has a nice cloth lining on the inside. Better than I expected. Great case for my New 3ds XL.

this case is better than any I could find in stores in the U.S. It is nice aluminum that doesn't scratch and the inside has a rubber lining to keep from scratching your ds. It keeps the shape nice and slim as well.

Just got the blue version of this case from Japan as a gift so I decided to write a short review considering these nice cases have no reviews yet. It cost around $17 in Japan so fairly comparable to the listed price here. ($19)It is a pretty basic case but it is surprisingly lined on most of the inside with a soft velvet like material that won't scratch your New 3DS XL. It snaps on pretty firmly and initially I had a little trouble snapping the top piece on enough. Once I got the case on I really liked that it kept a slim profile and looked really nice. Considering how nice the blue looks, I'm sure the gold and red versions look just as nice.Functionally I believe it should protect your New 3DS XL moderately against minor falls and from scratches. Keeping a slim profile you do lose some drop protection but I'd prefer it slimmer personally.One issue some might have is that the aluminum makes it a bit smooth to hold securely. It isn't anything being conscious about wont fix but it's something to be aware of when purchasing this case. The case is a mix of aluminum and plastic and there are no sharp edges. I also appreciate that there is no flex to the case like some of the other softer plastic cases have. It snaps on firmly and there really is little worry that it will come off unintentionally.One minor issue I have with the case is that there is a small plastic piece that covers the power button and is meant to make it easier to depress while the device is in the case. I don't find it easier and it can be actually slightly more difficult to press it in the case but not so bad that I'd deduct a star for it.Overall I really like the case. It keeps my 3DS XL slim, it protects it, and it really looks nice. Don't expect bullet proof protection and be aware of the lack of much grip but if you understand what you're getting I can easily recommend this well made case.

この商品と同じくamazonでたくさん売られている安価の中華アルミパネルと両方持っているので、それらの違いを書かせていただきます。まず見た目の違いですが、全面アルミの方は言わなければ分からないレベルにとにかく薄い為、サイズもギチギチな事も手伝い外す時は確実に角が削れますので、こちらは保護目的というよりはカラーバリエーションを楽しみたい方向けに思えます。対してこちらの商品は黒色のツートンカラー部分がポリカーボネート製になっており、内側の爪でパチッとはまる設計ですので本体に傷を付ける心配がありません。しかし反面どうしても厚みが出ますので本体サイズが1回りほど大きくなり、見た目もやや野暮ったいイメージになりますので、この上にさらにマルチポーチ等に入れますと少し窮屈に感じます。全面アルミの方は極薄パネルをギチギチにはめ込むだけですので寸法はほぼ変わりませんから、それまで通りの使い方が出来るかと思います。ですので、既に傷だらけの本体をお持ちの方や欲しいカラーが無かった等の保護を最優先に考えておられない方には全面アルミパネルを、ピカピカの本体をスタイリッシュに保護したい方という方にはこちらの商品をお勧めします。

他のアルミニウムケースとの違い①プラスチックにアルミを貼り付けた構造なので厚みがある②ベースがプラスチックなので柔軟性がありカッチリハマる③セパレート式なので下側にグリップを装着していても使える(もちろん下側カバーは無駄になりますが…)④カラーバリエーションが少ないこれらを踏まえて自分に合ったものを買いましょう

安く購入できましたが 構造的に本体の電源スイッチが押しづらくしかも硬い 使用する度にカバーを外すという面倒くさい作業を強いられる・・・設計ミスか？

オススメ！他社製は個体差が激しく開封するまで怖い買い物です…
