I randomly found this subreddit and saw everyone talking about their 3ds xl breaking. Thought to myself „i‘ve had my 3Ds xl since 2012 but mine is still working and in perfect condition“ then took my Ds collection out of the drawer and saw that mine is also affected by the dreaded hinge breaking😭 i don’t have any technical repair skills, is it still possible for me to swap out the case or should i just leave it until it breaks?
Bonus pic of my Ds collection, got my first one (Ds Lite) in 2007 or 2008, the Dsi xl in i guess 2010 and they’re all still working!

My girlfriends 3DS has the exact same crack in the same place, also wondering if I should do something before it gets worse.
All of the OG 3ds XL’s will eventually have this, and it will break completely at some point. It’s unfortunate you have the pink EU colour as the middle frame is hard to find
