I’m trying to get my hands on a n3dsxl, and I’ve been wondering how common it is to replace the shells on them. I can’t find a ton of custom options online, but I’d love to do something like the textured hylian shield shell Nintendo did for the n2dsXL.

If not that, than at least something other than the plain colors they came in. Sure Nintendo did a lot of special edition releases but since I’m already burning a hole in my pocket trying to get a n3dsxl in half decent condition, buying one with the Hylian Gold or Super Famicom (or any other special edition for that matter) shell is out of the question.

    I’ve just acquired my son’s old 3DS and was thinking the same thing. Looks like I’ll pass on that thought.

    I may buy new plates if I can find them, that would improve the look a lot. Also, I need to replace the top plastic screen cover but YouTube says that’s really easy.
