I tend to clean my systems with a soft cloth and windex, allowing the screen to completely dry before attempting to apply the screen protector.

I also use the bathroom as my "clean room" preparing it by running the shower on hot for a few minutes to generate enough steam to weigh down and drop any dust particles floating about prior to applying the screen protectors. this greatly eliminates the potential from any stray dust particles getting trapped underneath

HORI and Key Factory have put together youtube videos giving visual instructions on how to apply their screen protectors to the 3DS which is pretty informative

the link for the HORI one is attached

I just use regular multi surface polish and then a regular cloth and my screens are as clean as they were when i first opened the 3ds.

I have given up on screen protectors. If you find a good way of applying them without getting annoying as hell bubbles or stupid fucking dust stuck under it then please let me know.

i have bought 3 sets now and everytime they have just been crap or my technique simply isnt up to scratch. Theyre screen protectors, the application should not be rocket science but It sure seems like that if you want a perfect finish like i strive for and never achieve!

With that said I am just using my 3ds without one, my dsi had no screen protector, bought at launch, and has literally ZERO scratches. Not even held to the light, I have kept it perfect without screen protectors.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
