Do I need a case?

I have a 3DS and I was just wondering if I should buy case for it. If I were to drop it, would it break easy or do you think it would be fine without one?

A case is always a good addition, but it's not necessary. If you know that you're prone to accidentally dropping your gadgets, then you should consider buying a case for your 3DS. Otherwise, try to be careful with it, and you won't need a case.

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:
