 Great stylus and protector.Jul 21, 2010
It was very hard to put on and the dust get sticked on the screen because of the protector but overall it is awesome, and the stylus is very confortable bettar than the normal one. You should get this.
Hand-friendly stylus plusApr 09, 2010
I'm here to buy a second set of this screen shield/stylus combo pack because I love the stylus. No, it's not compact and it doesn't fit into the stylus slot on the game unit but that's a good thing. The stylus is shorter than the average pen but it's about as wide as one and the rubber finger grip makes it very secure and comfortable to hold. Even after using it for hours, it doesn't cause my fingers to cramp or my wrist to ache. Maybe younger players who haven't had nearly half a century of wear and tear on their hands won't have a problem with the skinny little stylus that comes with the DSs but for those of us who have the mileage, this larger, thicker, squishy-gripped stylus is a godsend for the hand. As luck would have it, I can squeeze this 'oversized' stylus into my DSi's wallet case between the unit and the cover so when the flap is snapped down, the stylus is held quite nicely and snugly in place so storage isn't an issue for me. It also has a hole at the top which you could presumably use to attach it to a lanyard around the neck or to the back of the DSi unit using some kind of lightweight tether. There's also a pen-style clip which you can use to attach it to your shirt pocket (or shirt neck, as I do.)
The protective filters do the job and, with a bit of care and effort -- and patience -- are really not difficult to install. A bit tedious, perhaps, but not difficult. Between the directions provided with the kit and the suggestions made by others here, application is not a big issue unless you're working in a dusty environment, are all thumbs, or need a little less caffeine in your diet. Yes, the filters do scratch with use but the manufacturer never claimed they wouldn't. They are scratch resistant, NOT scratch-proof. Mine has a couple of harsh scratches and though they do bug me a little, they do not interfere with the viewing or use except to catch my eye when the light hits it just so. I would recommend wiping the filter AND the tip of your stylus clear of dust and dirt before you use your DSi (a microfiber cloth comes in handy for this.) I suspect that's what happened with my filter. Probably a tiny speck of dirt was on either the tip of the stylus or the filter so I ended up inadvertently scraping the dirt speck across the filter -- but better the filter than my DSi's screen! Considering that I've beaten on the filter with countless hours of sometimes aggressive gameplay, I can't and won't complain. Even if I replace the filter a few times a year, I consider that cheap insurance.
By the way, I have used plastic cleaner/polish on the touch-screen filter by applying a small amount to a soft cloth and then using it on the touch-screen filter. It seems to help give my somewhat worn filter a little extra life. Because I think the offending dirt particle may have also put a tiny scratch into the tip of the stylus, I've also used the trick of rubbing the tip on wax paper. The effect wears of somewhat quickly but it does help the stylus move more smoothly across the filtered screen. By repeatedly rubbing the stylus tip firmly over a smooth surface, I seem to have finally worn the burr off but I still keep a bit of wax paper handy to give the stylus tip a bit of a polish. Again, I suggest wiping the stylus tip and the filter clean before use so you don't end up with tiny but harsh scratches caused by dirt particles. Dust? No problem. Dirt? Those miniscule, hard, sharp-edged specks can be an issue. Hey, but wouldn't you prefer to scratch an inexpensive, replaceable filter and stylus over gouging the touch screen of your expensive DSi?
So, why only four stars instead of five? Because I think filters are over-priced. I suspect the packaging probably cost as much to make as the filters themselves. Nevertheless, they're still WAY cheaper than replacing my DSi.
Works perfectly.Feb 23, 2010
Not a single problem with these. Getting them on was quite simple, I'm not exactly sure why other people were having problems. I'm not seeing any kind of residue issue anywhere either. The added pen is pretty awesome too, if you're able to carry it around. I keep it at home for when I'm playing there.
I would definitely recommend this product.
PerfectJan 22, 2010
The screen protectors fit my DSi perfectly and have not tried to come off. What I really like about this is the stylus! It's human size, not gnome sized, the size of a normal ball point pen and is much easier on the hand than the gnome size stylus that comes with it and most accessory kits.

 DisappointedJan 09, 2010
We have purchased Hori Screen protectors in the past and have always been pleased with how easy they were to apply and how well they lasted. This time was different. These did not go on smoothly in the least. I plan to replace these as soon as possible. The best part about the kit was the stylus. It is perfect to hold and a nice change from the smaller stylus that is included with the DSi.
