#esp since I never put my waterbottles in my bag i just carry them

[three-dee-ess]

i recently got this case for my 3ds (its an official case for the n2dsxl) and was hoping to make good use of the cartridge slots but the thing is they're textile, so putting a cartridge in them worries me that itll get dusty fast. and they're tight, so i doubt that ordering cartridge protectors online will be worth it as those probably wont fit. for the time being im just putting my two cartridges in a little plastic bag and leaving them in freeroam in the case on this side of the divider, but yeah do you or any of your followers have suggestions for how to use these slots and keep the carts protected from lint?

I personally keep all of my carts in a metal tin (think Altoids container) and then the extras are stored in a makeup bag (never used for makeup just to be clear)

I think the worst that could happen with lint is that you need to wipe it on your shirt or like, a microfiber cloth before you put it in the 3DS. I've actually noticed the issue with carts not reading properly is 90% of the time dust in the cart slot, not an issue with the cart itself.

the amount of times I've fixed a "broken" DS with a quick qtip swipe to the cartridge slot cannot be understated

So basically, I wouldn't be worried. The carts are pretty hardy and are built to last. They can take a serious beating.
