Hi! I've had this 3ds since I was in elementary school. As I've now beengraduated from college for 2 years, you can imagine that it's starting to show some signs of age. It still works mostly fine, however as seen in the picture attached, the silicone cover of the circle pad is really damaged and keeps sliding off while I'm playing. Anyone have any links for a place to buy a good replacements? The only thing I can find are replacements for the circle pads themselves NOT just for the cover. For size reference, this is a regular coral pink 3ds, so no xl or new 3ds pads please.

The circle pad and what you are calling the cover are supposed to be all one thing. It’s only the wear you put on it made it split and look like a cover.
The things you have found are exactly what you are looking for. It’s a bit of a process as you have to open it up and remove the joystick to get the old pad out (there’s a retaining ring). But it does not need any screen ribbons unfastening so that make it a lot lower risk.
