I just bought a New Nintendo 3DS XL (it is more pixelated than the regular 3DS systems, but I enjoy the larger screen for playing RPG's) so I needed a case NOW, not later ;) I like keeping my things nice! I usually buy things like cases online for under $20, and have to wait up to 5 weeks for delivery. I went right to BestBuy and originally bought a terrible case, and exchanged it for this, the next day. This is a great case (I don't really LOVE Pikachu..I like JigglyPuff and some other Pokemon.. but this is a good looking case, regardless) it looks great, I love the gold design on a transparent case..it looks good on my grey 3DS, it would look AMAZING on the galaxy edition, amd would go with just about any New 3DS XL system (exception being those limited edition systems with designs already on them) The price was worth it, for a licenced product that will protect my DS. It is not shock proof, but it will protect the DS system from scratches.
