• I pretty much agree with Ala on this one.

    I don't think a case is a must. I can vouch for Nintendo's products generally being resilient to falls. I have a certain friend whose 3DS fell from the second floor and it survived just fine, minus a scratch on one of the edges.
    Really with the DS and 3DS is the hinge of the double screen what is the most delicate part. i am not sure if a case really can be of any help with that.
    I bought a case but only because it was Zelda related, haha. :XD:
