MadCatz Gets In There Early with 3DS Accessories

Screen protectors might be nice, but only if they don't desensitize the touch screen.

I've had screen protectors on my DSi touchscreen since day one and I've never had a single problem with them. I dread to think what the screen would look like without them on, especially after all the time I put into The World Ends With You...

MADCATZ! Y U NO HAVE SILICON CASES? T_T

Great!

I'm waiting to hear something about anti-glare screen protectors after seeing all the videos of people playing the 3DS, the amount of reflection is just insane. Although I'm not sure if any type of screen protector would affect how you see 3D on the top screen...

Well, I've never used screen protectors or anything like that and the screen on my Dslite is fine. On the other hand my friend accuses me of the dead pixels on his ds when I borrowed it. Apparently, I was getting a touch too angry with Pokemon diamond or something. A case might be useful but the probability of me ever buying one is pretty slim.

Screen protectors COOL!!!!

I absolutely destroyed a screen protector playing Elite Beat Agents... i'd hate to know what would've happened to the actual screen had that protector not been on there. i'll never play a touchscreen device without one after having seen that carnage, hahaha.

I'll have to buy those screen protectors

I'll need a starter kit along with a zelda 3d bundle!

The screen protectors maybe (to protect the 3D screen, lol), but I've never trusted Mad Catz since I bought some of their stuff back when the GCN came out....they didn't last long. I did have screen protectors for one of the DSes, just wished that there's a way to keep the smudges and all that off of them.

Good to know. I <3 my screen protectors.

Screen protectors are essential, and as far as I'm concerned I will not use the touch screen without one, after what happened to my Nokia 5800.

However, the thing that bugs me about the travel cases is that they're designed to accept US/Jap chargers. The pins fold in on those so it's got a really small profile. The UK chargers have a really large footprint and they never fit in the cases.

Yes screen protectors are great. Had some on my DSi since day one, but sadly they were "removed" when I sent it in to Nintendo to be fixed. HAven't bought any since, but probably should before I get too into EBA or get TWEWY. and of course I gotta have my carrying case

Wait... "travelling bag"? It better not be too girly to carry around D:

I know what it's like to have a scratched up screen, because ultimately, my DS phat ended up like that. Partly due to general WarioWare Touched gameplay, but mainly thanks to my mum and her endless bids to achieve the ultimate score in Pyoro (also on WarioWare Touched).

Fortunately, when I got round to getting my DSi, I opted to get the starter pack as well, which included styluses and various sized screen protectors.

I bought it on release date, and the first one is still serving me, although it is wearing a bit thin in places. Also, I can't really get a hold of it to remove it and apply another one...

Like TBD, I own EBA (along with Ouendan 1 & 2), and they really make me worry about the screen with all the scrubbing (particularly with the spinners).

When it comes to the 3DS, I won't be taking any chances with screen protectors, but I'll imagine the console will be bundled with the (third party) starter pack, just like my DSi was.

I have never had a Screen protector and I'm always cautious about how much pressure is on the screen. I usually use a screen cloth after use and make sure there's nothing on the screen the can scratch my DSi. And I'm going into year 2 with it

Can't say the same for my original DS. And my DSlite has a small streak on the top of the bottom screen that you can feel when you rub the stylus over it. I got that from playing Planet Puzzle League and I even HEARD the scratch as I did it. Terrible sound >_<

Leather cases? I always buy one for my handhelds. Love them

Never had a screen protector but I probably should try one, especially if I'm gonna pay $250 or so for one of these.

The dsi touch screen seems to hold up better then the regular DS. I've never had one on my dsi and I let my 3 year old play it and still no scratches. With new technology the screens improve.

I will definately get the screen protecters. I have had some on my DS Lite since 2008 and they have protected the screen very well.

I used a few screen protectors on my DSi for about a 15 months until I started to notice the bottom left corner of the touch screen would bounce a little when touched. Stop using them and didn't take long to get that first scratch. Got over it real quick though when the third and fourth appeared. Honestly you'll never notice until you turn the game off and their no light coming from the screen.

Decided not to use them for the DSi Nintendo sent me after my repair a few months back. The touch screen seems to be holding up pretty well considering I've finally let the little ones get a hold of it.

im definitly getting the screen protecters because it can tend to get dusty in my room, well in the apartment really and i tried to get the touch screen protecter screen on the bottom screen of my dsi

but because it had a sticky base to it dust seem to have gathered upp too quickly when i tried to install it on there so i thought i had it in the air for too long so i got the last one out and quickly installed it but dust gathered too fast so i just decided to forget about it so i took it off and leave it as it is with having the top screen being successfully protected with the touch screen being wiped with the cloth that came with it

that being said glad to see the 3D effect wont have problems with the screen protecters on it.

i probably missed it but i wonder if they are making those protective clear shell cases cuz i have one for my dsi since it came with the screen protecters also?

I got a GC memory card from thems once.
It corrupted all my data.
I think I'll pass on these.

New consoles and accessories go together like Mario and Yoshi

Meaning that we ditch them just to survive that one horribly-made jump?

Nope just going to get whatever Cub Nintendo Items I can for it like I did with my DSi

@dragon: I played through a whole game of EBA without scratching the screen too badly. The problem with some screen protectors is that they are a lot more prone to scratches

^ 27 is right. I feel that my DSi screen protector is scratched fairly easily- it's probably a low-quality one, but I just feel safer playing with a screen protector.

For my brother, on the other hand, screen protectors are an absolute NECESSITY! Have you ever seen someone press down on the bottom screen SO hard, that it distorts? I have. It's quite frightening, I tell you.

Elite Beat Agents.... wow, I definitely needed protectors for that.

I'll just wait for the Invisible Shield is released for this! I hope America gets the 3DS before Europe so that they can start working on it earlier and I can have one soon after Europe launch!

MicroSuede? Do want.

I just want my novelty humongous stylus with a Mario Kart at the end. Though those screen protectors might seem tempting...

Thank the Lord. I was waiting for accessories to be announced - a new console without 'em is pretty much point blank.

Awesome....MadCatz makes quality accessories.

Nintendo consoles also features great online play and Barack Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize he got.

I'm also never sarcastic.

I got some screen protectors for my DS with it when I bought it, but never managed to put them on. Are they really worth getting? My screen is a bit scratched up from EBA and lost in blue (and probably some others) but still works great after probably 6 years of continual use. Also, can the protectors be removed? Are they sticky, or do they stick like window decals?

@TrueWiiMaster: the screen protectors i've used aren't too sticky to be removed... one kinda stuck like a window decal, and the two others were more rigid and actually had some stick to 'em. i preferred the decal-like one, to be honest, because the sticky one caught a little bit of dust and was harder to reposition when it went on a little crooked, but all three have served their purpose, really, with problems regarding tap sensitivity or anything.

I do not quite trust mad catz products... They tend to be... not so good.

I once bought a set of (cant remember if they were madcatz, but it is likely) screen protectors for the DS Phat, the top one was rigid and had GLUED margins, as in with real glue, when i tried to remove it, it left a horrible mark on the DSs top screen.

Screen Protector is a must have accessory.
