To start, this comes with three styluses that are identical to the stylus that comes with every Nintendo 3DS. I just keep them in storage in case I ever happen to lose the one that came with my 3DS.
I have not actually used the screen protectors this comes with. You might call me obsessive compulsive but I did not like the way they looked over the existing screens. The protector for the lower screen is about 1 or 2 square centimeters smaller than the actual screen, so it's likely you wouldn't be able to touch anything on the very edges of the screen. The protector for the upper screen is slightly bigger than the screen, which is a good thing because you can easily attach it and it will be completely covered. I just didn't like how it looked and I'm very careful as is and I don't plan on damaging my screens. The protectors are very sturdy though, and should have no problem keep scratches and scuffs off your screens.
The microfiber cloth is very nice. If you're like me and like to keep your electronics spotless, a microfiber cloth is essential. It won't take care of grime that's built up over a long time, I use a liquid electronic cleaner and a normal rag gently for built up grime. However, a cleaner and rag won't stop dust from collecting on it. The microfiber cloth is anti-static and does a very good job at wiping away dust and keeping it off. It does a decent job at wiping away fresh fingerprints. I don't recommend spraying anything on this cloth, it's purpose is to keep dust off and adding spray could possibly damage it. I usually lay it over my 3DS when I'm not using it to keep dust away. The DS Logo print is also a nice touch.
The game cases feel durable and reliable. The larger opaque black case holds four 3DS/DS games, I imagine it being useful for light travel. The other two are for single game cartridges. I like these individual game cases. I took my cartridges out of their original cases and put them in these because they're much smaller. I also like that they're branded in the front "Nintendo 3DS." I would like it if I could put all my games in individual cases just like these, but I have only found them in THIS kit. I've seen cases that hold one game each like these on other websites, but they're not quite as tasteful as the ones in this kit.
If anyone actually knows where I can buy JUST the single-cartridge game cases found in this kit, I would very much appreciate it if you commented on this telling me where to find them.

I'd say this is worth maybe $5 max. I do like the extra styluses and the carrying case for your games, but everything else is pretty much worthless. The cleaning rag is ok, but you could probably just use a soft cloth to clean your system and save the money. Not to mention the screen protectors are a joke. I just think they over priced this.

Maybe I was just unlucky...

I see the majority of the reviews are positive, so maybe I just got a bad set. The stylus(es) are nice, case are handy, but the screen protectors could use a little work. Each side of the protective sheet has a film with a pull tab to help remove it before applying. The tab on mine ripped and peeled only partway off leaving glue residue all over the sheet. By the time I got the residue cleaned off the sheet was scuffed and unusable...

I personally always like to buy screen protectors for my stuff, especially the ds systems since you're constantly using the touch screen. Even if you're generally always careful, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to system care, especially considering the price of the 3ds. This is definitely a must buy for anyone picking up a 3ds and it's definitely a great buy for it being less than $10. I would have paid this much just for the screen protectors alone in all honesty.
