General \ Protecting your DS

korton says:

So we all love our white/black/pink/blue/etc. flip top DS unit and we want to keep scratches and what not well away from it.

So, how many of you have your DS kept safe in a case or with a skin? Is it worth it having a case and screen protectors and all that?

Screen protectors are an absolute must IMO. The scratches I see on my protectors after a few months of use aren't good and i'd hate to think of what my screen would be like without them.

I have a Naki Game case for my DS. It stores my DS, accessories and games. I take my DS with me a lot so I use the case to protect it..just in case it gets dropped.

Just make sure you place your screen protector on properly else you will get air bubbles. You may also get air bubbles if you keep on pressing one part of the screen and push the sir into an accumulated area.

One air bubbles occur, re-attach with another protector. Otherwise your screen images will not be as sharp.

Yeah I even bought a DS lite screen protector and place it on the bottom screen of my DS Phat and it worked a charm giving me a perfect touch screen but I removed recently because being a touch screen its harder to play with a screen protector

Yeah there are tricky to get on neatly, avoid dust at all costs that will cause air bubbles to, tip place one edge of the screen protector on and slowly lay it down while pushing out the air bubbles out as you go along.

Yeah i have screen protectors on and a back up incase i need to replace them. Also I put a flame skin on my ds which not only protects it but makes it look way better than the normal one and on top of that i put it in a case although i can never protect the bottom of my ds lite from gettin scratched

EDIT: Haha to pyros post down there

I have skin on mine, I prefer it as its helps to prevent scratches. I used to just keep it in a case but that didn't work as well.
I have bought screen protectors and feel MUCH better taking my DS around. Only, even though I got 2 packets, I couldn't but the bottom screen protector or right so I have to go without for a while till more arrive.
So yeah I can tell you how it affects the touch screen play.

What about others who have screen protector on their touch screens?

Well I used to but not anymore it didn't affect gameplay but was a bit hard to see stuff on touch screen!

ShuffleZ says:

its only a bit hard 2 see if you didnt put it on corrctly use the squeege ( plastic card) that comes with it to remove bubbles or if it doesn't come with one, fine something similar like a credit card

shiversul says:

didnt see the point of putting a thing on the top screen so i just put it on the bottom

( i tihnk desi suggested putting them on right after a shower ( in the bathroom ) keeps the dust out )

i didnt have screen protectors for a while and i dug holes in my screen from playing metroid hunters but i fixed that by buying the protectors now im safe

salsasero says:

Whatever screen protector you have will not prevent damage when you hit the screen too hard as I tend to do.

korton says:

Does it matter what screen protector you get?

Wii-Fan says:
