DS Lite? Yes. DSi XL? For sure. 2DS XL, 3DS and its New and XL variants? You bet. But not a single 2DS aftermarket shell. Single backplates are sold here and there but not the whole assembly.

What gives? Is the 2DS really that niche compared to its siblings?

    Oh, that sounds interesting - thanks for the suggestion! I’d be interested in hearing about or seeing the results if you don’t mind. :) Appreciate it!

      Update. My order arrived and it was metallic black instead of clear. Thought I would share. Awaiting the right product. May be a couple weeks.

        The sleeve/shell seems to look pretty much like I’d imagined it to look like. Curious to see the final result. Thanks for sharing. :)

        Will you be getting a replacement since the order was delivered incorrectly?

          The clear one is on the way but it’s coming to the US from the UK so it may take a while. When it arrives, I’ll post a pic of the vinyl skin under the clear shell. I ordered a plain black skin, as well as a retro inspired skin that is black and gray. Will attach pics of the retro skin for a better idea of what I’m hoping to use. But since the metallic black doesn’t look so bad, I figured I’d share with ya.

          Additional edit, I’m gonna attach a screenshot of the clear shell that I was expecting to receive. So yah. I was shooting for a black retro vinyl skin under the clear shell. But I’ll check back in when I can finally make that happen.
