(That isn't a crack on the top screen, my screen protector tore off a bit.)
So my 3DS XL fell 4 ft off my dinner table right on the corner hinge, the light piece chipped away however the axis was intact and my 3DS could still stand upright and work properly. (The top screen was a bit wobbly.)
Unfortunately while taking it out of my DS bag one day, it dropped only 2 inches onto the carpet and the dual screen completely broke apart. (As shown above.)

I know I need replacement housing, but I'm not really sure if I should let Nintendo handle it, or if I should fix it myself and purchase the products off eBay. Thing is my mom is a bit iffy on buying stuff online so there's that.
I don't think just getting a new 3DS XL is an option here either, I have a lot of downloads that for some reason don't like transferring to a different 3DS via SD Card
Luckily it still works after this much abuse.
It doesn't feel like a portable gaming system anymore though, it has to be on a flat table with minimal movement. Anyways, any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
