Customers like the case. They mention it's sturdy, protective, and holds everything they need. The case is thick with a hard outer shell and sealed by a decent sized metal zipper. It's great for keeping their Nintendo 3DS safe while traveling. The pocket inside is nice, but some wish it had a velcro or AR cards.

Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the video game peripheral set. They mention that the case feels smaller than advertised, and it does not fit the 3DS XL. The case is sturdy, but the DS fits very snugly, making it a little tricky for some. The game slots are a rather tight fit, and the case is nice but a bit bigger to hold the charger. The included buds are able to stay in the ear. However, some customers also mention that it may not fit all 3DS systems.

Great for accessories, but not so much for the case
Pros: + Amazing price for everything included, MUCH cheaper than buying the items seperatelyCons: - Will NOT fit everything included + a 3DS with the Nyko battery installed - The case feels smaller than advertised, at least to me - There's no handle or grip on the case - No special slots for the two extra styli, so you essentially have to shove everything into the big pocket - Expect things to fall out of the pocket when taking other things out of it - Very weak earbuds - Will not fit an AC adapter (wall charger) + car adapter, has to be one or the otherTL;DR - I only bought this for the car adapter and styli. The case is too small for the accessories + my 3DS, because my 3DS has the Nyko expansion battery installed. Won't even zip closed.

The title pretty much says it all. At $30 this kit includes very useful items that work well and cost less than purchasing them separately.

Pros:
- Hard Case
- 6' Car Charger
- Microfiber screen wipe
- Screen Protectors

Cons:
- Headphones
- Screen Protectors

The Case:

The case is a nice black color. Construction wise the case feels very solid. It is thick with a hard outer shell and sealed by a decent sized metal zipper. On the top half, there is a mesh pocket that covers about 3/4 of the area. There is about an inch of space between the mesh and case lining. Headphones could easily be stored here as well as AR cards. I would however, not recommend putting the car charger in this area, or the case at all.

Separating the top and bottom half is a pad with three game card slots. The pad, as well as the inside of the case is lined with a felt like material. I imagine the pad is made of a cardboard piece wrapped in felt. The game slots are a rather tight fit. They way they are sewn on to the pad is in a way where the two end slots have a small section that is doubled under. It's not too bothersome, but I have managed to catch my game cards on it and I have to sort of pull up the slot in order to push the card in.

The bottom of the case leaves enough room around the side of the 3DS. I'm not sure what to think about this. I'd say it's a good thing, because it means the case isn't squeezing your 3DS and putting pressure on the corners, top, bottom, what have you. With that said, the 3DS sits nicely inside and doesn't move around.

The Microfiber Cloth:

It works. That's really all that matters. There are some bad microfiber cloths out there, but this is the kind you would get with a pair of glasses. Pretty standard fare.

The Car Charger:

I have yet to use this. I will try to update if I do. I will say that they designed this with the back seat in mind; the cord is a nice length (6 feet).

The Headphones:

If you're buying this kit just for the earphones, I don't know what to tell you ... The earphones are practically useless. Most in ear headphones come with multiple sized ear buds to accommodate different ear canal sizes, these do not come with those. The included buds are a bit large and they don't really stay in the ear (mine at least). This leads to a muffled and muted sound. A small trifle, but the earphones are not labeled with "Left" and "Right". Most headphones include this because different programs set up sound to be filtered through a specific side of the earphones. Like I said, that really doesn't matter.

The Screen Protectors:

I mentioned this in the pros and cons based on my experience. For those who are probably more patient than me and take time to read instructions, you can just skip to the end of the review and be content knowing that these protectors work well.

The screen protectors have two strips of film, one on the back sticky side, and the other on the front. There are two labels on each strip of film. One directs you to pull off this strip first, and the other to pull off the strip after you have applied the screen protector. I was under the assumption that there was just one layer of film, and the front label was stuck onto the protector itself. After applying the protectors to both screens, I proceeded to peel off the label; it did not come off cleanly. I took the protectors off and began scraping at the residue only to find our there was a top layer of film (I later found all of this on the instruction sheet). At this point, I had effectively rendered the protectors useless, as they were covered in hair and lint.

Final Verdict:
This kit is a great value and includes everything you would need at a lower price than separately purchasing these items. Everything works as it was designed to, save for the headphones, and works well. 4/5 Stars.

All I really wanted was a case and I would have gladly paid 7 bucks for the case alone. That's why I'm not so upset that the box was open and items were missing. I got no cloth and no screen protector in mine. Another reviewer says they got a dirty screen protector.

My guess is that these are all old and they are just trying to clear out the inventory which is why the cost is so low. The case is nice enough, nothing special. Its got a strange amount of room in it, not really enough for the charger, but way more than needed to hold three games, headphones the 3ds and the extra pens.

Like I said, for 7 bucks it's totally worth it but I'm happy I didn't pay more.

If you are like me and you constantly forget to charge your portable electronics while you are at home, this is perfect. With a phone charger AND a 3DS charger in my car at all times, I no longer have to weep silently when batteries start running low. I like the hard case and the additional items, as well, especially the little cleaning cloth and screen protectors. I used to worry about the screen getting messed up from such things as my furious circling of the stylus while capturing Pokemon. No longer! I don't really have use for the extra stylus...es...but it's pretty small so chances are good of mine getting lost at some point after being flung across the room or broken in a fit of nerd rage. If/when one or both of those things happen, I will be pretty glad of the backups.

'Starter kit' was not a 'starter kit' at all. While it says it includes the car charger, extra pens, and other accessories, it is in fact just the case. The care itself is satisfactory and seems durable, Does fit the 3DS along with extra games.

My son bought the new 3DS and needed a kit with screen covers, stylus's and and a great case. It was all here, at a fantastic price. The color is perfect and he loves the case as much as the game. The seller was extremely prompt and the product arrived in perfect condition, packaging was very good. My son could not be happier and that makes me very happy too. I recommend this seller - great prices and genuinely prompt!
