This 3DS Carry Case Has A StreetPass Window, Because Those Puzzle Pieces Won't Find Themselves

That's actually very, very smart. I may have to get one!

Won't be needing this, since I get all my streetpasses in the comfort of my own home.

@linforcer
How?

@AlexSora89 Homepass

I'm in the group that has gotten a lot of use with this in the US but admittedly I get most of mine from conventions.

@AlexSora89 Google Homepass and set it up--it's pretty straightforward.

I usually come home with one or two streetpasses If I keep my 3DS on while I cashier.

Now it won't look like I'm searching for change in my ladies purse.

I am at college right now and I get loads of streetpasses everyday. I don't even need to see my 3DS to know I got some.

Still and interesting idea for a case though.

Got nothing to use play coins on at the moment. Most anything I would spend play coins on I do better with the 100s of streetpasses per day

@DarthNocturnal yeah, I did a road trip half way across the US several months back and only got ~20 hits. Streetpass has been a non-event for me which is too bad.

@DarthNocturnal I may be overestimating. I was hoping to get a lot to rebuild the town in Bravely Default faster but that didn't happen.

well it only took a few years till someone came up with this lol

I get a good amount when I head into town (currently at least twice a week) and I'm in Plymouth, the forgotten city (in the UK). Not sure how many are from Wifi hotspots though.

I have these. Colors looks great, materials feels cheap but actually durable.
I'm using the old xl model for my new 3ds. I would love to upgrade to actual new 3ds xl one if only they have the purple color. The transparent on the side just feels right.

I have the Animal Crossing pouch that Club Nintendo gave away and you can see the streetpass light through the material which works great.

That green light is very addicting. I usually manage to get a couple of streetpasses when going to and from work. That case is a simple but clever idea.

I streetpass with my kids all the time at home but never get any when I go out. Hope when my kids and I go on vacation with my dad, we will be able to get some.

@Ninty4thewin The original 3DS has been out of print for a long time. They can't keep supporting it forever.

Very cool idea.

I only get tags whenever I bother myself to go to Nintendo Zones. Luckily there are a lot around me like McDonalds, Home Depot, Barnes and Noble, Burger King, etc. I know they're from NZ because first you normally get 6 tags, then when you visit another NZ, you get like 3 more tags to make 9. Or at least for the Plaza.

The only time I remember getting a lot of tags was when i visited Disney World. That place was like a gold mine for tags. Still the protective case is pretty neat.

@DarthNocturnal I get 10 street passes ever 2 hours or so and that's just at my school. So many 3DS users at my school, seriously.

i still like my old dsi xl case from 2011.

Oh yes I always stick my 3DS in my pocket in a way that lets me quickly peer in the top to see if the light's on. Been in that habit for years.

I haz to get one

Over time, my 3DS has worn a small hole in my pants/pocket where the streetpass light is, so I can usually see the green light when I am walking around or sitting.

@mjc0961 No Nintendo zones nearby? I have a fedex that I ping without getting out of the car, and both mcdonalds and best buy are near me. Although the poster that commented on the college streetpasses is spot on. One of my jobs is on a university campus and I always make sure I have my system because somebody else does too! Sadly the local gamestop does not have many dedicated streetpassers near me.

Your article says they come in regular sizes but this is not the case (pun intended). Only New 3DS LL sizes are available. What gives with companies producing cases for the regular New 3DS? Can't find any in the UK? Can't use original 3DS cases as they're too small and 3DS XL cases are too big.

For those missing streetpasses, locate the AT&T wifi hotspots in your area and go there. Create a wireless connection profile for the AT&T hotspots in one of your 3 connections in settings and there you go. I am obsessed with streetpassing and I actually base my walk to work around these hotspots. I snake my way through the streets waiting a moment outside these locations until I see the green light. Just a thought! Try it out. I've gotten TONS this way.

I actually made my own case from Duct tape and made a hole where the light is so I could tell I had a streetpass without having to take it out. So good idea, but a little late for me.
