Should I Purchase a Screen Protector?

Nintendo DS

The use of screen protectors is not required. However if you would like to use one, we recommend using only licensed protectors.

If you don't wish to use a screen protector, the proper use of licensed styluses - such as the two included styluses - are designed to help prevent damage. The use of any unlicensed styluses including pens, styluses for other devices, or your fingernail, may cause damage and is not recommended.

If you feel your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite screens appear dirty, scratched, or smudged, here are some tips on properly cleaning the screen of any Nintendo handheld system.
