AKWOX (2 in 1) Tempered Glass Screen Protector + HD Clear Crystal PET Screen Protective Filter Compatible with 3DS XL/New 3DS XL

The tempered glass for the top screen is perfect, nice smooth edge, no bubbles, perfect clarity. And it was easy enough to me to apply, you should be good as long as you're careful and precise, and you're in a clean environment, I wouldn't apply screen protectors with long sleeves on, don't want any tiny amount of lint or dust flying off between when you clean the screen and apply the protector. The PET film didn't hinder use of the resistive touchscreen and it feels good to use the stylus on, but I do have some bubbles, though I can't exactly fault the protector for that as I dumbly used a paperclip as a stylus years ago gouging the screen, so that is probably why I have a couple bubbles and I really just got this to cover it up and make it feel smooth to use a proper stylus on again, which it does perfectly. I've actually had this applied for a few years now, not constant use y'know it is still a 3DS after all, but I will say, the protectors have held up perfectly. For the money, this is a perfect value I'd say, even though it's price has gone up a bit since bought it, still $15 is totally fair for two custom screen protectors for an older device like the 3DS XL which certainly doesn't have the economies of scale nowadays of something like an iPhone 17 screen protector which'll sell a lot more.

So since the Hori screen protectors have been discontinued, I've been looking for a good substitute. I want to clear the air about these because I think some of the negative reviews here are a bit misinformed. First, this is for the New 3DS XL screens. It won't fit other models. Second, the condition of your screens makes a big difference in how ANY screen protector goes on, including these. New or near mint screens like mine that have been cleaned are going to be easier because nothing will get trapped under there. Third, the bottom screen protector IS a little smaller than the screen, as I see some people saying. This is a GOOD thing. If you look at the touch screen, it's sunken in with like a raised edge, see that? If the protector was cut perfectly, you'd never be able to get it off because of that edge. The top protector is cut to size because it doesn't have that edge. Having said that, if you line up the bottom protector with any of the sides of the screen, the opposite side will have a noticeable gap, probably 2mm. What you want to do is carefully lay it down so that you split the difference and have a little gap on all sides. You won't notice it while playing and you can pull the protector off if you need to. This is easily the hardest part of applying this screen protector, but I don't know if it would be different with any other brand. As for air bubbles and application, I used the cleaning supplies included and took my time. Both screens went on easily with only one small bubble each. Both of those bubbles disappeared after a little while. Just rub them out towards the edges of the screen. Overall, this is a really good product if you take your time. They include two sets of protectors in case you mess up, which is great. My only real criticism is that this set absolutely REQUIRES a good microfiber cloth to clean the screens, get rid of dust, and wipe off the cleaning solution. It's a big oversight that they didn't include one, so you just have to use your own. That's my only gripe.

This is the third kind of screen protector I installed and it finally seems to work. The bottom screen protector does not get scratched up with regular use of the stylus. Buy this! All the other brands scratch up within 20 minutes of installation. It’s ridiculous. Hopefully this will be helpful so no one has to go through my frustration the last several days. I cannot confirm about the top screen protector as I did not need to use it but scratches would not be an issue on the top screen protector in any case. Installation is the usual pain as with all screen protectors - nothing a can of air and the trick of taping the screen protectors prior to installation and applying isopropyl alcohol before installation can’t address. The fit is ok - the top and bottom margins might be bigger than what I am used to but it gets the job done. It does not affect the image quality. Fingers crossed it continues performing this well!

Was initially pretty skeptical of this product given some of the reviews I've read were about how difficult the application was, but I just finished applying mine and I'm pretty satisfied! Didn't even have to use the second set it came with. I used this on my old 3DS XL model, and to whoever says it only fits the New 3DS XL is wrong, because mine fit quite perfectly so I believe its for both. If your screen was already in rough condition before with a lot of scratches or deep ones, it'll probably make applying it way harder and leave inevitable air bubbles, so that's not really the fault in the product itself. The top screen feels nice and sturdy, and the bottom screen protector is thin enough to not hinder the touchscreen detection, but its good enough to protect it from scratches. I've also seen a lot of complaints about the bottom screen protector not fitting completely, but I believe it was designed to have small gaps due to the bottom screen itself having raised edges. This would mean it would be difficult to peel it off if you wanted to remove it. Some helpful tips I have to make the application easier is before actually peeling off the back sticker, align the screen protector how you want it, then place a long enough piece of scotch tape along the top of the screen protector and the outside edge of the screen. This helps the screen protector stay in place while you lift the opposite side and peel off the backing. If you do this right, it should lay itself the way you originally placed it. Also, if you're having issues with getting dust out, I highly recommend using a compressed air can to gently blow any leftover bits out right before you apply it. Doing all this, mine turned out near perfect I'd say. I unfortunately had a bit of dust stuck underneath my touchscreen protector, which left a small air bubble, but the adhesion of the product is pretty good because all of them basically go away after awhile. You could also gently rub at the area with cloth to speed it up. The tiny piece of dust is still there for me, but its hardly noticeable, and the pesky air bubbles are all gone at least! The only negative I have to say about this product really is probably the blue electrostatic sticker it came with. BE WARY WHEN USING IT, especially on the touchscreen. It's extremely sticky and almost feels like you're about to pull the screen off, so I recommend just using a microfiber cloth and an air duster to get any dust out.

While the product seems nice, it’s incredibly hard to install and I do not recommend it. I used both glass screen protectors included trying to install it and failed both times. And when trying to remove these, both times the glass broke into a million pieces and it was so so hard to remove from my 3ds I was afraid it was going to damage my screen. The glass shatters a ton and it’s difficult to adjust at all. Even the 2nd time I tried and got it perfectly aligned with absolutely 0 dust beneath it, it wouldn’t fully lay down on the screen, so I was left with weird bubbling and warping everywhere and had to remove it again. Both times I removed this screen protector, I was left with tons of glass shards and glass dust spewing at me, and had to use a hard card to shove beneath the screen protector in order to pry past the ridiculously strong adhesive glueing it to my screen so I could remove it because I couldn’t remove it with my hands. Luckily I had another non-glass screen protector available for 3ds from a completely different order and used it instead, and it was so much easier to install and worked instantly. Save your money and get a different screen protector

It's very easy to put on my 3ds. I've been using it for a while and do press a little bit harder than most while playing, and have not noticed any scratching at all. Really good quality and love how it's not too thick when compared to other 3ds screen protectors.

Installation was easy and I was quite pleased to discover it came with two top and bottom screens. The top screen is a thick glass while the bottom is a plastic, but it too seems pretty durable. Overall, I’m pleased with the product and it seems like decent value for your money.

Great product, the screen protector is glass and applied easily and the touch pad has a plastic protector which was harder to apply with no bubbles but came out great and does a great job with allowing the 3ds xl to stay responsive. The best part is they give you a extra protector for each screen which is great to have. One thing to not the display protector is perfectly sized but the touch pad protector is a little smaller then the touch pad but it has not caused any problems or issues. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good screen protector for their "NEW 3ds xl" . This review is only after a week of ownership so please keep that into perspective when reading my review.
