Cyber Gadget Rubber Coating Grip 2 Black For Nintendo New 3DS LL XL

Wow this thing is fantastic. Great for holding the 3ds in my medium sized man hands and the real treat is using the stand when playing at a desk because your hands can sit so relaxed, id imagine its great for stylus games like that too. Because its on a desk the 3d is rock solid as theres no movement. Either way great grip and extremely ergonomic.

Pros: Fits perfectly around the New 3DS XL, very secure with no looseness whatsoever. VERY comfortable around the hands compared to holding the 3DS without, very much like a regular game controller. The D-pad is now much easier to access without readjusting your hand as your thumbs now crosses diagonally in between the analogue stick and the D-pad rather than the analogue stick resting under the tip of your thumb and the D-pad resting under your metacarpal. The compartment on the back is good for switching out games that you're playing and keeping them near to the 3DS. Cons: If the 3DS is open when it is placed down, it tips back onto the screen due to the centre of mass of the 3DS extending beyond the middle finger rests (the grip stands on the bottom of the two palm and two middle finger rests) which is a problem as the two cameras on the 3DS are along the point where the screen will tip onto and you may end up scratching the lenses if you scrape it around a surface too much. Clearly an oversight and would've been fixed with a similar finger rest for the index fingers just near the trigger buttons, for now I just have to be careful not to throw it about too much.

It's very well made and the rubberised finish is very pleasing to the touch. It also includes a compartment on the bottom to store extra games, which is pretty handy. However, be advised that there are 2 styles (If I'm not mistaken) of this grip. This one ended up being too wide for me to use comfortably, but it's still better than using the New 3DS XL without any grips. No more hand cramps from playing Monster Hunter for me!

My hands used to hurt after 30mins of play, now I can play for hours without my hands hurting. I have played my 3DS much more after I got this product. The stand is great, I can put the 3ds on the table/desk and play. You can store two games in it, I take the games I use the most in there and can quickly swap games when I want to. The 3DS is so much better when you have a grip like this.

Very good, took a few weeks to get here but it has solved the hand cramp from playing the new 3DS XL

Overall I’m happy with this product. I wouldn’t say that it is worth £17.99. It’s comfortable to a degree in that there are 2 sections of the grip that stick out to keep the 3DS level on a flat surface. This may be handy in that aspect, but to hold the 2 sections that stick out make it difficult to hold comfortably. It makes the console seem bigger than it is & I think I shall be using this grip whenever I use my 3DS in the future.

Super comfortable. Good qaulity. Good size for large hands. For New 3DS XL

Extends gameplay over hours. I always had cramp in my hands after playing about 10-15 mins on the 3ds xl. Now Zelda, monster hunter, etc. For hours. Packaging is cheap and it was wrapped in a Japanese newspaper:) but the grip is fantastic. Ergonomic, and has similar feel to it then holding a PS4 cobtroller. There is a small flip door compartment at the bottom that can hold 2 game cartridges. Recommended. Fire stars because instead of the index fingers, you have a rest to grip onto for your middle fingers. Took me a good 15 minutes to get used to it.

It's very comfortable, I can play my 3ds for hours now without any pain.

Producto de gran calidad, es muy cómodo el agarre y se integra perfectamente, tanto que se siente muy natural durante su uso. Ahora me resulta raro jugar sin el agarre instalado.

Das Produkt kam direkt aus Japan was entsprechend etwas gedauert hat(ca. 1 1/2 Wochen) aber das Warten hat sich gelohnt! Der Griff ist perfekt verarbeitet aber von einem japanischen Produkt habe ich auch nicht weniger erwartet. Der New 3DS XL passt wie angegossen hinein und lässt sich ganz einfach wieder entfernen. Das Material ist leicht Gummiartig aber sehr glatt und weich wodurch der 3DS beim rein/raus nehmen auch nicht verkratzen kann. Der Griff wiegt ca. 96g was sich einzeln erstmal anfühlt wie nichts. Alle Anschlüsse sind perfekt erreichbar und auf der Rückseite ist noch eine Klappe in der sich 2 Spiele verstauen lassen. Zudem lässt sie sich als Ständer nutzen. Super! Die L/R-Tasten sind nicht mechanisch nachgebaut/vergrößert worden, macht aber nichts denn jetzt sind die original L/R Tasten des New 3DS endlich super erreichbar. Der Griff ist ein Segen für mich mit normalen „großen“ Händen, toll verarbeitet und jeden Cent wert!

El producto encaja a la perfección en la consola, sin embargo un movimiento brusco si puede hacer que se suelte. Es mejor tratar con cuidado la consola. Le agrega bastante peso, muy similar al peso que tiene el Switch, por lo que para algunas personas podría resultar cansado. El confort es muy bueno para sesiones de juego largas, pero la posición sugerida de las manos es un poco extraña e incómoda al principio, pero una vez que te acostumbras, se olvida por completo y se siente más natural, aunque nunca del todo. Me gustó el producto, pero también creo que a muchos no les podría convencer del todo debido a la posición sugerida de uso y la cual es necesaria para alcanzar con comodidad los botones LR y ZL ZR.

If you asked "What's the difference between the old version and the new version Cyber grip for the New 3DS XL?", then this is for you, because it just so happens that I bought BOTH and I'm going to review both grips side-by-side. For the purpose of this review, I'm naming the original grip as "Version 1" and the newer grip (Grip 2) as "Version 2". I also conveniently color-coded them in the picture as blue (Version 1) and green (Version 2). If you want to find out who the winner will be for YOU, you'll have to read the rest of the review, because there wasn't an actual winner for me. What system are these grips for?: Both of these grips are only for the New 3DS XL (or in Japan, it's called New 3DS LL). So if you've got the old 3DS XL, then this grip will NOT fit correctly. What is the main difference between Version 1 and Version 2? The main difference is the location of the "fake trigger" - since I have no idea what that's called, I'm just going to call it the fake trigger, so bare with me here... It's where you rest your index/middle finger (see pictures). In Version 1, the fake trigger sits higher up on the grip case. In Version 2, the fake trigger sits closer to the middle of the grip case. Both has their own benefits, and I actually find both very useful for different games. I thought I would like Version 2 better because I have small hands (girl hands here), but actually, it wasn't all that comfortable at all when I play games that utilizes the ZL and ZR buttons (especially playing with games that are real stylus-heavy because the weight is not evenly distributed - more on that later). That's right; the improvement that went into Version 2 that was supposed to specifically deal with the problem of reaching those buttons comfortably didn't work for someone like me. That's not to say that Version 1 was any easier to reach ZL and ZR, but I did find it easier on Version 1 with my small hands because I had no choice but to overreach, which then gets me so used to it that I don't even think about the slight inconvenience. On other reviews, most people say it's more comfortable to reach ZL and ZR on Version 2, and while I prefer Version 1 for these games for those buttons, it wasn't that big of a deal either. Between both versions, Version 2 was more comfortable when playing for longer hours when I didn't have to use ZL and ZR or a lot of the stylus. I also noticed that the bottom grips where your palms wrap around was slightly thinner in Version 1. It's barely noticeable to the naked eye, but since I have both versions, I definitely FEEL the difference. It's shaped a little differently there. Having a bigger grip to wrap my palms around was way more comfortable for me in Version 2. For some people, this will make a world of difference. What about the right analog c-stick/analog stick/analog nub? How does that feel with Version 1 and Version 2?: Version 1 feels more comfortable because with the fake trigger higher up, my thumb reaches the right analog stick more naturally. Version 2 is just as easy to reach, but it's not as natural. Which grip is more versatile? Versatile doesn't necessarily mean good or bad: Version 2 is more versatile. When playing regular games, I've got my index finger on the fake trigger. When playing games that utilize ZL and ZR, I place my middle finger on the fake trigger and have my index fingers reach the L, R, ZL, and ZR. That feels okay to me - uncomfortable, but I can work with it. In Version 1, my index finger is always on the fake trigger - I NEVER need to rest my middle finger on the fake trigger. If I need to reach L, R, ZL, or ZR, I take my index finger off the fake trigger and (over)reach for those buttons. That feels okay too. Annoying factor: Version 2 does not sit upright when the screen is opened. It tips over when it becomes too heavy on the top side with the screen opened. Version 1 also has this problem, but not as badly. Good thing that both of them have the flaps on the underside to prop it up. It isn't adjustable though, and I would be very careful not to break the flaps because it feels kind of flimsy. Well, I've used the flaps for over 50 hours and it's still fine. lol. In the picture, you'll see Version 1 sitting properly, whereas in Version 2, the device is tipped over. My biggest complaint: One-handed usage (ie. one hand on the console, one hand with the stylus): Version 2 is considerably more UNcomfortable when you have to take your right hand off the grip to use your stylus for games that are stylus-heavy (such as Persona Q). It cramps up your left hand. I prefer Version 1 much more for this. Since the trigger sits higher on Version 1, the balance of the device is more evenly distributed when you're holding the grip with one hand. Version 2's trigger sits lower so you'll feel the weight of it when playing for longer hours (or literally in just 30 min...). Texture, sturdiness, materials, value: Both textures are the EXACT same. It's made of plastic with a rubberish coating. Neither feels heavier nor lighter than the other. Neither feels flimsier nor sturdier than the other. If you've owned one of these Cyber grips in the past (as I did for my old 3DS XL), it's mostly the same materials and build. They may be pretty light and flimsy to some people who's got really high standards (which is fine), but I've got to say that having owned my old Cyber grip for the older 3DS XL, I will only use these grips because I love them. They're just nice to touch and hold. And plus, they hold their value since it's not widely sold in the states, so I pretty much sold my old Cyber grip for close to the same price as I bought it, which I will probably do for these two grips if I ever get tired of them. Will these grips scratch the device?: No. That's why I love the Cyber grips. I like to keep my devices looking as pretty as the first day I bought it without completely covering up the beauty of the 3DS XL (for example, the Nerf cases). However, it's not going to give your device the same protection as it would with, say, a Nerf case. This kind of grip case is only meant for gripping your 3DS comfortably, as the name suggests. Is it easy to install?: Like a breeze. Just snap it on. The device doesn't fall off the grip case, but then again, I was never rough with it. I can lie on my back and not worry about the 3DS falling on to my face. Is it easy to uninstall?: Yep. Just lightly press on the tab on the grip case and lift your device out. On the long run, do I use Version 1 more or Version 2?: Well, if you must know, I use Version 2 a lot more. It's just more comfortable to me for the games that I have, which most do not utilize ZL and ZR. If I had to nitpick though, I wear a ring on my ring finger which makes Version 2 less comfortable on my left hand. I don't have that problem with Version 1. Testing this on an unsuspecting user: I tried both grips on someone else who didn't have any idea I kept switching out the grips from time to time, and guess what? They noticed absolutely nothing at all. That should tell you something; that if you aren't biased, you won't notice any difference and will eventually get used to any grip case you decide to purchase, whether it's Version 1 or Version 2.
