Has anyone noticed any scratches on the system after using the Circle Pad?I have a Gold 3DS XL & have always used a protector so it's important to me.

I haven't had any problems with scratching from either my circle pad pro or my one for the xl. Sometimes dust and stuff can get into the CPP if not used for a bit but dust it out and you should be fine.

I also have the Gold Zelda XL, But it hasn't scratched my 3DS. I guess it's hard to scratch plastic with a softer plastic.

I bought this for my granddaughter in February 2014. So far...no. No scratching - but she uses screen protectors on her Kindle.

Hello, did you have any luck getting a replacement pad through the warranty? Wondering if it's worth it or not to contact. Thank you!

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

I use mine daily playing tennis with no problems. This is the 2d one I have owned. The 1st is still usable but looks a little scruffy. You'll hardly notice you've got it on.

Have not on mine. the lip of the holder makes it sit just perfect inside without touching the screen. I do not have a screen protector on mine and have no scratches or anything.

I am using the stylus on a Kindle Fire HD and a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, neither of which have a screen protector. While I have only been using it for less than a week or so, I have seen no evidence of damage on either device so far.

When I received the package, open it, found 2 stylus have some scratch. It must be when they shipped it all together in one bag. But I am using it now. Thanks

Sorry, can not help. I do not use a screen protector, i just keep my screen very clean and havent had any problems with scratching.

As long as you can carefully insert the disc sideways into the slot you have no chance of scratching the disc. The slot is wide enough so that shouldn't be a problem. It really is a very easy system to use

My son is the one that uses the 3DS XL but from the times that I've played it I do feel a difference on the way your hands grip around the handles. It is more a more natural feeling which of course helps you play for longer periods of time. I hope my answer helps.

Had ours now for almost a year. No problems but share in your concern. It seems very easy to damage since that is the access for the SD card.

I had used one before they upgraded it, and it did scratched the screen protector. I haven't tried the upgraded version, and I'd assume it got better.

its awesome, saves my ds from getting scratches on the surface although a lot of things do sometimes get stuck underneath and its a pain to get it out. other than that its great. it probably will break if dropped, but thats how you know that this absorbed the shock of the fall. this is a good case but not when you drop the ds dozens of times. i would recommend getting a some kind of plushy cover for a ds.

I would recommend a screen protector on any touch screen.. period. But, I think it mildly scratches the screen. Nothing super noticeable, but only refracted by light and viewed on an angle can you really see what kind of scratching has been done.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

Yep, it works just fine. I was not able to notice any performance changes when using the stylus after I hand installed the protector. It feels a little less smooth, as if there was a minuscule amount of drag but it is hardly noticeable. Hope this helps!
