RE: Nintendo 2DS - Kriven - 08-31-2013
The difference between the GB and the DS is the touch screen, otherwise I'd agree. The closing mechanism certainly aided in mobility, but its primary function is to protect the touch screen. I mean, it'll probably be okay, but my siblings go through DS's every year because their bottom screens get so gouged out that they're unusuable (at one point my sister decided a fork was a suitable replacement stylus...)
I've seen similar damage on other people's devices, even adults.

These sorts of things wouldn't really be influenced by whether the screen is protected by a clamshell or not; the only thing that would help prevent these would be teaching kids to be more careful with their electronics.
Though one of those plastic screen protector sheet things they have for iPads might probably be more helpful.

Leapfrog called they want their design back.
And also the design looks like a piece of toast.
