I'll just steal your Luigi hat.

I've hidden it.

Question:

Do you have a Screen protector on your touch screen?

I am currently wondering whether to purchase one or not... 😕
the sticky residue thing put me off.. but I have recenty learnt that not all are like this and some are removable without leaving residue.. or so it's been said..

shrug

I don't have one.

I think I know which protector you're talking about.

I was about to get one for my iPod, but after learning more about it watching a video online of someone applying it to their iPod, there was no way I was doing that to my iPod.

They may say the liquid won't harm it, but I don't trust it. Not to mention it's suppose to stay on forever and must be Hell getting off if you're even able to and then the air bubbles. Nope.

I really don't know much about screen protectors for the DS but if you get one I'd suggest another one. I just don't trust putting liquid on electronics.

But hey, that's just me.

What on earth are you talking about? Screen protectors for the DS are thin sheets of clear plastic that you place over the touch screen. No liquid involved at all.

Since my 5 year old sister has developed an obsession with playing my DS, I'm thinking of getting a screen protector for it.

Well I did clearly state that I'm no expert on covers for the DS so cut me some slack yo. 😬

I was thinking she was referring to specific protective cover that comes with this little thing of spray that you spray on the surface to get the cover to stick on.

She said something about "Sticky Residue" so I was assuming that's what she was talking about.

I don't have a screen protector. Shouldn't need one unless you're one of those dipshits who uses their fingers on the touch screen because you're too lazy to use the sylus.

Well i dont kno how but the screen on my ds lite is cracked...badly. I dont know how but i suppose my sister got to it or something maybe it fell off the top of her bunk bed. I got a new one but i'm kinda fretful about using it becuz i dont want the samething to happen twice so is there any type of specific screen protector that i should look into?

Any suggestions?

Well what do you know? tongue

I don't know what kind of screen protector can prevent a DS from CRACKING all together. A scratch is one thing, but if you're doing something for it to crack, well........I don't know what to tell you.

Anata wa wakarimasu ka.....

Maybe a metal case 😕

or maybe if i try really hard i can borrow some Adamantium from wolverine and make a case becuz i think thats the only think that can with stand the forces in this house 😄

But seriously, i need a screen protector.

Well I'm not entirely in the know about screen protectors either, seeing as I've never used one or seen one, but from what I've read there are removable screen protectors for the ds, they stick on but you can take them off and wash under hot water and they become like new..
apparently.. 😕
but there are also some that stick on and when you remove them they leave a sticky residue behind, they shouldn't but they do, from what I've read on reviews, so that's what I was referring to, no liquid involved though I don't think.

I only ever use my stylus but I've noticed marks on the screen, and a slight difference in feel over the centre of the touch screen where it is used most and of course I realise that everything had it's usual wear and tear but I wonder if I am maybe more heavy handed than other people or something and continued use will damage it permanently.. 😬

I will probably get screen protectors from playasia as I've heard they do the best and they got good reviews for the one I looked at (Hori)
Still undecided whether I will apply them but I will buy the and see what I think when I get them I guess...

Well, I'm planning on getting a skin for my DS as I just don't like the plain white (I like this one the best that I've found), and will probably get a screen protector at the same time. If it were just me playing my DS, then I wouldn't bother with the protector, but as I said, my 5 year old sister loves to play my DS and has more than I have this past week, I think. And I'd rather spend the couple dollars on the protector just in case.

I've noticed people have the habbit of pushing harder then they need to on the touch screen while in the heat of the moment, this would be cause for the degredation on your screen. Really, you barely need to touch the screen.

Weirdly to me that does seem very 'lana' ✅
I was looking at Decalgirl skins just the other day, I like the Lost Souls one for my black dslite 😄
but I don't know if I could apply it properly.. enough to be satisfied with it, I've heard alot of people saying that they applied it 'good enough' and things like that would bug me for eternity 😬

Well now see I tried this, my brother bought me sims pets for xmas and there's a bit where you have to put soap on the animal and I tried pressing lightly but it didn't work... instead it thought that I was hitting the dog instead oh
and also when you have to use the stethoscope.. if I only press lightly the stethoscope won't stay on the animal ❌
so I can't press lightly for everything.. some things need real pressure 😬

Not pressure to the point of breaking the screen.

The DS continues to make a killing of the PSP:

The numbers don't lie. Nintendo have created a MONSTER! 😱

I wanted some suggestion for good games in versus mode...

today I played mario and mario mini games against my mates 9yr old and she really enjoyed it, but that's the only game we both own, what are some other good ones like mario that she will be able to do and enjoy? hmm

Suggestions please 😄

Haven't shared this with some of you...but about 2 months ago I lost my DS lite and cannot find it...so, after much debate (and checking my wallet) I've decided to buy another one (Black preferrely since my first one was white)

So, let there this be a lesson for you kiddies...to be careless DOESN'T PAID!

Instead, you pay more.

Heh, that sucks.

I'm surprised - I haven't yet lost my DS, any of the games (and those damn things are tiny), or any of my styluses (stylii?).

Of course I do keep everything stored in my pink case, but still...if I lost that, I'd lose everything. Which would suck.

I've temporarily lost a couple games, but none permanently. When I had my original DS I lost a stylus, though.
