as you know the original 3DS models had a little problem. the bumpers nintendo had implemented weren't big enough and so the topscreen had contact with the edge of the bottom screen which led to "scratches".
a while ago i made myself some bumpers which are big enough. i used those things people put under furniture so the floor doesnt scratch from moving furniture. it works great. the little "scratch" i had on the right of my topscreen is gone. so it wasn't really a scratch.
this is how my bumpers look. one on each side of the topscreen.
i think it looks kinda good for some selfmade bumpers. right? RIGHT?!
(yes those are some yummy chips i will eat later haha)
Nice idea! I just leave a folded terrycloth in there, and that has taken care of the problem; plus I always have a way to clean off the screens with me. So it's a win-win!
@Gioku: I do the same, but have seen the markings still appear where the Circle Pad rubs and in the two areas that would normally be scratched. Does the same happen to you?
@SomeBitTripFan: Since there's nothing 'sharp' hitting the screen, it's virtually impossible for it to get scratched with the cloth in there. The amount of pressure required to do so would probably do some major damage to the system! So I think we're safe.

i did that too in the beginning but i wanted a solution where i didnt have to put something between the screens everytime i close the system
Well, I just realized my top screen has some scratches on it, (hardly noticeable with the screen on) and my warranty expired in October. MOAR DUCT TAPE!!!
