Hello Amazon people,
I've owned the AmazonBassics Carrying Case since August 2013, and it is now December 31st, 2013. I find myself writing this review because I wanted to be helpful at least once before we celebrate the new year.
For those of you living in the future, one without an AmazonBasics Carrying Case, I urge you to correct that issue at once! This case has performed amazingly well during the course of my busy College kid lifestyle; It's so easy, you can just unzip this lovely case and put the 3DS XL or similiarly sized device in, and zip it up. The felt padding keeps it nice and safe from gravity's harsh forces. The outer layer is a soft but sufficiently strong and durable cover that has survived four months of me tossing it in my backpack and walking around campus. I keep my 3DS on so that I can get all those sweet, sweet StreetPasses, so the unit overheating is a non-issue. You also, could opt to use the rubber band straps to tightly secure the unit, however, with me frequently accessing the unit, I find it better to just put it on top of the straps and jangle around. The soft felt protects it anyway and any minor abrasion from moving around on the straps, is limited to the bottom of my device. However, I don't think those straps could scrape or scratch it anyway. It is again, a non-issue.
The only issue you'll be having is what games to carry, since you're only limited to four. There are three very tight and snug pouch sleeves where you slide single game cards into. Admittedly, it may be a big too snug because it requires a bit of finesse to get them out. When you do, you'll notice that even the sleeve thingies that you slide the game cards into are padded. Everything is safe in this thing. The last game will be the one located inside your 3DS. Plan accordingly!
Sure you might not be able to fit a bunch of games in this specific carrying case, but I personally don't believe it to be much of a problem since if I were to be out and about playing video games, and some how had enough time to burn myself out on four video games, and still have battery, i'd probably have spent the money on an auxiliary case that holds my entire game card library and other accessories that are must have for extended play sessions.
This thing was designed to be picked up and brought with you wherever. For me, my 3DS is always in my backpack, with the current games i'm most interested in playing.
Final Words:
If you're looking for a case to not only hold your 3DS and the best of your game library that you couldn't do without, while not looking tacky or gaudy with designs or game characters, this is the case for you. It's beauty is its simplicity and for $10, it's an absolute must have!

Easy for little fingers to use with great protection!
I purchased this Amazon Basics carrying case back in April for my 5 year old's Nintendo 3DS XL. 3 months later and it is still going strong. This zippered case is lightweight, easy to carry, and easy to store in his little backpacks or my purse. The inside is microfiber fabric to prevent scratching the 3DS XL surface. There are 3 netted pouches to hold games and 2 elastic straps to secure the 3DS XL into place. I've also been able to fit a charger in the case, with the 3DS XL and 3 games. The zipper, straps, and pouches are all easy for little fingers to use. I highly recommend this case, along with TNP New 3DS XL Case - Ultra Clear Crystal Transparent Hard Shell Protective Case Cover Skin for New 2015 Nintendo 3DS XL LL for those looking for a cost effective option for protective coverage of their 3DS XL.As my personal rule of thumb:I award 5 stars to products that exceed my expectations and that I would repurchase again at full price.I award 4 stars to products that can be improved but overall work well and are up to par. These I would still repurchase at full price.I award 3 stars to products that are mediocre and I would NOT repurchase at full price.I award 2 stars to products that are underwhelming and definitely would NOT repurchase at full price.I award 1 star to products that do not work correctly and should not be on the market.
