MyLifeUNIT Hand Grip Handle Stand for Nintendo New 3DS XL LL

My favorite part about this thing is that it’s CHEAP! It’s not trying to hide that, either. It’s cheap & you’re getting exactly what you pay for. Quite a comfortable grip, makes holding the 3DS with my big hands much easier and makes extended play sessions so comfortable. The only problem I have with it is the joke of a kickstand on the back, where the price really starts to show. It will not hold your DS up, and is way too easy to knock over. Honestly, the kickstand feels too cheap. I think they could get the price of the unit down if they would just manufacture it without the kick stand. It’s a waste. Every other aspect of the grip is perfect, but if they shave another 4 dollars off the price by removing it, and I think this would be perfect.

Snaps easily on and off so I can only use it when I need it like a controller. I bought this to make playing rhythm games and fighting games more economic. Holding the 3DS down lower using the handle works really well and I am cramp free.

Good extra grip for the handheld, but do NOT use the kick stand I highly recommend against using the kick stand

Bottom Line: Better than no grip; I'm willing to deal with the cons listed below for that reason alone. Not their fault, but lame: > Putting this on your 3DS XL will make it not fit in any protective zip-up case you have. I have this problem with my official switch grip as well. not their fault, but just FYI. Pros: > cheap (~$14) > Thickens and widens the 3DS XL so that your hands sit more comfortably (they're not squished) > Light (100g according to the box art) > Does exactly what was promised Cons: > Too Cheap: the plastic feels flimsy where it clips (other reviewers have mentioned the clips breaking due to improper technique of 3DS removal). For nearly the same price, my switch grip is sturdier, doesn't block anything accept docking ability on a standard dock, is more flexible, and has lasted over 6 years. For the materials this is made from, I expect <$10 price range. The vender should ship it without a box to save money on materials if necessary. > The game card slot is blocked. This is likely because in order to leave it unblocked, the frame would be too fragile, so they block it; at least I hope that's the reason. > You need specific instructions to remove it without breaking it. This is a bad design if that's the case. > It's a little small. Not super small, but the grip is off compared to something like an Xbox controller. > If you're going to make box art and text, do your due diligence to use proper English (or any other language the box text comes in), otherwise do away with it all together to save money on packaging and reduce the price of the item for consumers. This isn't a dig on the product itself, just a pet peeve of mine.

Purchasing these hand grips was the best decision I made in a long time. They're absolutely perfect. The grips themselves are comfortable for my large hands, meaning I can finally play Smash on my New 3DS XL without having hand cramps. There is a cute little stand on the back which holds up the device when setting in down. This is also useful for games like Kid Icarus: Uprising which originally came with a kick stand. My only gripe is it's a little difficult to remove the New 3DS XL, and you have to remove it if you want to switch out games. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it. Especially to those like me who have larger-than-life hands.

Great product that feels good in your hands.

it worked, but I dropped it and the case broke and doesn't stay on my 3ds anymore

This thing is honestly really good! It isn't the highest quality when it comes to material, though it gets the job done really well. I have bigger hands and this thing makes holding the new 3ds xl 10x more comfortable than ever, especially when playing games that use the C stick (small nub) to constantly look around, like in majora's mask for example. It's a great product and I recommend purchasing it if you're hand become uncomfortable after using the 3ds for extended periods of time. 10/10
