i'm using a transparent crystal casing for my ds now and that's
the only protection for my ds.
sometimes i'm dump my ds with my other items like keys and stuff in
my bag and somehow, sand and dirt gets into the gap between my ds
and the crystal casing. and my baby got scratched by the sand
bits.
it's better if you get another outer protection to keep it away
from your other things in your bag.
and i do have the protective film for both my screens and i've
changed the bottom one once already after playing pokemon ranger.
trust me, you don't wanna play that game. because after finishing
that game, my touchscreen had LOADS of circles of scratches caused
by the stylus.
