I just dropped my game card on the floor and I know it'll be fine but it always worries me. Does anyone else kind of get worried when they drop their 3ds? Probably because its so valuable to me.
lol I get worried but nintendo consoles are usually quite sturdy. My friend drops her gamecube down the stairs by accident sometimes and it's fine lol (well more like 2 steps)
I dropped my 3DS onto concrete from maybe 3 feet up, it gets a few scratches.
I dropped the same 3DS onto rubber tile maybe 2 feet up, it's broken beyond repair.
I haven't dropped my 3DS yet but honestly Nintendo products are designed to take a little wear.
My DS however got dropped multiple times... in the end the thing that killed it was a drop sideways while open, the top already coming loose, the top screen just popped right off.
I could count on one hand the times that I've dropped my 3DS, and it's still in perfect condition. *phew* It's a mini-heart attack every time, though...
As for dropping accessories or games, if I drop a stylus, it's gone. I've already lost two. I'm down to my last two spares. :/
I keep my 3DS next to me on my bed when I'm distracted by other things, and yesterday I shifted and accidentally knocked it off the side. I nearly had a heart attack just from that, because several years ago I dropped my first DS on the floor and it completely ruined the bottom screen and I had to get a new one. Of course back then I dropped it open and face down on hardwood floor and just this time I had carpeting, but still ever since that first time I've always taken to very strictly carry all handhelds with both hands. And clutched tightly if I'm walking around.
