Can the 2DS take a beating? How durable is it exactly?

I have 2 children that have 2DS 12year and 10years old. They take them every were. The game cards and the styles are hard to keep track of. But they seem to keep going.

I wouldn't purposely beat it up lol But i've dropped it more than a few times and it's alive and kicking. It's made to be used by children so I believe it's the most durable system they've made recently.

I drop it all on the time,face first even,and there still isn't any indication of damage or wear.

My toddler drops it all the time and so far so good - it's never broken. We've had it for over a year now.

I am very satisfied with the system, I use it in my classroom. I purchased it in August so I am not sure of the long lasting durability.

It can survive drops easily. If something heavy dropped/any sort of moderate blunt force(angled right) on it though, it might get damaged.

I have had mine for about a year or maybe more and I am pretty hard on it. It has held up well.

Yes, it will withstand rough play. My daughter has had hers for over a year now and still no issues with the kitchen. Melissa and Doug products are a good use of money. I do not think you will be disappointed.

this is my second Acer laptop with a plastic body. The first one I bought for my grandson (12 years old) and even he couldn't break it. So I bought one for his mother and it has performed just as well. I wouldn't use it in construction sites or other hazardous environments. But other than that, I think it's fine.

Its actually really durable..id recommend a Black & White Acrylic Display Board if u need to but will be fine without... just keep surface dust free ..and if anything you can use photoshop to fix any blemishes.. or aperture--zoom settings to blur out... background too.. hope this helps

V-Smile has taken a beating and kept on ticking at our house. We have had it for 3 years, it has even had the TV land on it (long story), bent the plastic on a game cartridge, it still plays just fine.

Yes it will as it runs the same operating system and has the same internals. The only differences between the 2DS & 3DS being form factor and non-stereoscopic 3D display.

Very durable except MAYBE, for the mouse. My 3 and 6 year old play with theirs all the time since Christmas and still the mouse is intact. Even if the mouse wasn't, you do not have to use the mouse anyway, just like a real lap top, kinda.

Absolutely will hold up for play fighting. My 4 year old son and I use it all the time with a Luke Skywalker one and we have some pretty epic battles. In fact it even makes specific noises when you hit something with it. The clear plastic that contains the glowing part will get marked up but nothing major.

a "red" 2ds screen is the same size as a DSa "Blue" 2ds is an XL screen and worth the extra $

To my knowledge the 2ds can only link to another 2ds or a 3ds since they are basically the same device.

Hi, I would say fairly durable. We've had two for about a year now and we use them as goals, and have had no problems. However, my kids are young 9 ,7, 7. So they do pretty limited damage. But for us they have been perfect.

Is strong enough to keep running even if it drops a few times, but I reckon if you kick it it Will smash, as any smartphone in the World. I had it for 3 months and it hasn't got a scratch.

Depends on how you break it. If it breaks from faulty parts or something similar, it's under warranty by Nintendo. If you take it outside and jump on it and then smash it with a hammer, then no I don't think so. :)
