Click here for my InvisibleSHIELD (PSP Slim) Review

After a long period of idling I finally applied the InvisibleSHIELD which I bought 2 months ago on my NDS. The trauma I faced from the PSP Slim version was the reason for the long delay. I couldn’t bring myself to face another round of hectic stress.

Surprisingly, applying the shield on NDS wasn’t stressful at all thanks to its shape. Most of the pieces are huge, thus making them easy to put on and less chance to mess things up.

Similarly like the PSP version, the shield covers almost all the areas of the NDS. The only parts that are not covered are the battery led (the entire section) as well as the L R buttons. I remember reading from somewhere that shield does covers them but alas, they are nowhere to be found. Probably the guy took the left over film, cut out two rectangle shapes and slap them in. I might do that after I find something to clean my buttons. They are kinda dirty …

My apologies for not taking photos of the shield before application. It slipped off my mind completely.

Bottom View of the NDS

In general, the shield includes top, bottom areas, GBA panel and all the sides (mic, power tab, volume control). Due to the DS’s rounded nature, the corners are not entirely covered. Apart from the outer areas, there are also shield films for the inner parts as well. There are 4 pieces; 2 for the speaker areas, one for the D-pad and one for the YXAB buttons.

I can’t exactly remember if they include shields for the screens, but I wouldn’t recommend using them. It makes your screen look fuzzy, which I find annoying (I applied onto my PSP and immediately removed it the next day). You are better off using screen protectors from Hori.

Here’s a couple more shots of the NDS

Overall the NDS version of InvisibleSHIELD has fulfilled my primary objectives; to protect the upper and bottom areas from scratches. It’s similar to having a crystal casing on the DS albeit lighter. Comparing this (shield) with the crystal casing + rubber pad combo I had, the weight difference is frightening.

I give this product a 8 out of 10.

You can purchase InvisibleSHIELD online through their website at USD $19.90. If you want a cheaper alternative, check out Protection Filter DS Lite from Hori.
