First of all this grip is compatible with the New 3DS XL even though the box only mentions "LL"



What's great about this grip is the fact that it feels like a high quality controller. My hands are pretty large so I wanted to get a good grip that would make playing the 3DS more comfortable. Instead of buying some of the cheaper alternatives I decided to just spend the extra unnecessary amount of money (~$45) and do it right the first time. I can say I'm not disappointed.



The trigger buttons do feel nice and I was glad that the ZL and ZR didn't feel as mushy as I was expecting. Even though the 3DS slides in it remains snug and won't slip out if turned upside down. All ports are easily accessible. Since the build quality is pretty much on par with console controllers I'd suspect it will last a very long time, even with high usage.



I mainly bought this for playing Monster Hunter but I didn't buy this grip for the sake of it's branding, although I'm not complaining. It will also serve its purpose well for other games that can require greater amounts of play time like RPG's. Heck, even for short gaming sessions I'd still prefer it over not using it. I believe this product deserves it's overall high product rating (despite it's price at the moment), which was the main reason why I decided to take the plunge and purchase it.



I included some pictures of the grip attached to my 3DS system. Pay no mind to the other accessories or my experimental C Stick cover.
