I purchased this kit a while back and have been using it almost daily. I have a 3DS and bought this kit mainly for the pens. The pens are nice an big and easy to use and grip. My only complaint would be that the blue around the pens is slowing scratching off with use, and do not look as nice as they did when they were new.As for the case; I find myself using this case more often than any of my other DS cases. It fits easily into my purse, protecting the DS, and it is easily accessible, when pulling the DS in and out of the case. I have other cases that have a flap over closures, and although I do like those cases, this case is just easier to use when I am in a hurry and just want to grab the DS and slide it in the case without any added hassles. Most of the time this case stays inside my purse upright, with the opening facing up, I never really remove the case from my purse, I just remove the DS. It just makes it easy to grab my DS and go, without worrying about where the case is.The little game case is nice too, I have several different types of game cases and I prefer the smaller ones, similar to this one because they can be easily slipped into a pocket and carried without a lot of bulk.
