Review by TechGeek for Nintendo DSi XL Screen Protective Filter

I’ve used other protective filters for the DS and DSi and none compare to the Hori brand. I replaced all of them with the Hori filters b/c it fits great and doesn’t leave any residue when removed. At first I didn’t like that the filter size was a bit smaller than the screen but I realized after trial and error that it’s for the purpose of easy removal. I did ruin the 1st Hori filter I installed b/c I didn’t follow instructions. I was trying to reposition the filter on the bottom screen b/c it was crooked and instead of using scotch tape to pick up the filter’s edge, I used my fingernails to scratch it up…that of course bent the edge.
Ever since I used the filters on the DS and DSi, I had no hesitation in buying Hori again for the DSi XL. I really like how clear it is that you almost don’t even know it’s there other than seeing the outline of the filter since it is a bit smaller than screen size. It’s a little bit more expensive than the other brands, but you get what you pay for…this is much better quality and I haven’t had to replace the filters yet (it’s been almost 3 years for both systems). My kids play with the DS and DSi almost everyday so the filters take a beating but still holding up. So I know it will protect my DSI XL just the same.

There are two filters included – one for each screen – and they are not (apparently) the same. I had trouble the first time I put filters on my DS Lite, and I was that problem. I didn’t pay enough attention to the directions.
These went on extremely easily the first time on each screen and with absolutely no bubbles. The filter is slightly smaller than the screen. This is good and helped keep out the bubbles since the filter wasn’t right up against the frame.
That’s how easily things should install. Good job, Hori.

This is the 3rd set of screen protectors I’ve installed. I like this set the best because they fit very well and they come with 2 protective films on each side of the protectors. The directions were very clear which protector was for the top and which for the bottom, and the films had nice tabs for easy removal – no “scratching” to try to get the film off the protector. Once on, you can hardly tell they are there. My only complaint with this was it was missing the cleaning cloth. We didn’t want to wait for a new one to arrive, so just went with it, but was still disappointed as I had to search for another cloth to clean the screens with.

When I first opened this item and after reading the instructions I peeled off the plastic protecting the screen filter only to realize the filter itself was already covered in dust, so that took awhile to deal with, also assuming I understood the instructions correctly I was supposed to clean my screen off before putting the filter on by using the included cloth, but no matter how lightly I pressed it would make small scratches in my screen, by the end of the whole process I managed to get most of the dust off but some of it wont come off the filter but that doesn’t seem to affect gameplay, so now that it is on it’s doing a good job of protecting the screen from dust and scratches but I didn’t give it a great score because of the problems beforehand

I try to add screen protectors to all or most of my devices, and this is probably the best I’ve used. There are films over both sides to keep everything as clean as possible right up to the point of application, and the films are easy to remove. The screen protectors themselves are firmer and thicker than most I’ve seen, which makes the application easier.
The reason I won’t give this a full five stars is due to the directions. The directions for applying the top screen were clear, but it just says “the bottom screen is applied in the same way.” The problem is, the films are different, and it’s unclear which is the up-side and which is the down-side. I tried following the picture, but wound up with my screen protector upside down. This left a slightly tacky fingerprint and dust magnet on the top and an un-clinging surface on the bottom. I tried flipping it around when I realized, but it was already ruined and I had to remove it altogether. I had to return the screen protectors and try again.
The return/exchange process was flawless, by the way, so full points to Amazon!
So, for anyone making this purchase — for the bottom screen, the oversized film covers the down-side of the screen protector. Take it off first, then apply, and remove the blue film with the tab last. Do this, and you should be quite happy with your purchase.
