It's design similar to a GameBoy. No 3DS clamshell design, you literally have the screens right in front of you. You won't have to worry about the hinges becoming loose, which is a nice plus. I've had 2 DSi's in the past that came apart due to loose hinges.
The 2DS is stripped of the 3D feature, for a lower price. Another nice plus, no? Most people don't use 3D on the 3DS anyway. If you don't care about the 3D, even better. Yes, I'm sure there are games out there that utilize (not necessarily require) 3D for better gameplay. The only one I can recall at the moment is Super Mario 3D Land. Even then, there are plenty of other games on the market that don't require 3D, so it doesn't necessarily matter.
The button placements are perfect. You have a FULL grip of the entire system, with each button at the tip of your thumbs. Worried about the L and R triggers? You can literally press them with just the tip of your fingers. They're so big it's amazing.
As for the grip of the 3DS, people with larger hands have the grip their system uncomfortably to reach the buttons. I do have small hands and fingers, but to be honest, I thought the grip of the 3DS was uncomfortable and annoying regardless. The L and R buttons on the 3DS are to small in my opinion, and the I could never get a completely comfortable grip on that small surface area.
The only con I can think of is lack of portability. For some people, hinges may important so they can fit the system in their pockets conveniently on the go and decrease the chances of being robbed. I agree. As for the 2DS, if your pockets are big enough, it will fit. However, part of the system's wedge will stick out. Nonetheless, it was still pretty badass just to grab the wedge and pull out your system just like that, as opposed to sticking your entire hand in your pocket. Even then, I'm only going to play it in my house or at another friend's house. Might have more important things to do elsewhere.
All in all, this system clearly fit my needs. It may fit yours. For a more affordable price compared to the 3DS, even better. I've even had a few friends (who all have 3DS's) tried out my 2DS first hand. They all said it looked nice, held comfortably compared to their systems, and wished they even had it themselves. I am beyond satisfied with this system. And that concludes everything.
I cannot thank this seller enough for making my son's birthday so so special. Please know that your care and consideration does impact my kid in a hugely positive way, so thank you so much!
---- In comparison to the DSi ----
-The battery charger is identical to the one I got with my DSi
- All games and DSiWare can be used and transferred to the 2DS, but the data will be deleted and the transfer cannot be undone
- What the DSi has that the 2DS doesn't is Flipnotes Hatena, which is a application that allows user to make, well, flipnotes. A application that I've found to replace it is Inchworms Animation, which is $5 and is sold at the DSiWare, which can be accessed through the 2DS
- There IS a free game that comes with the 2DS, which is Face Raiders. I was pleasantly surprised at how fun it is.
- A feature that is also gone is the convenient screen brightness levels. Unlike the DSi, whose screen brightness can be changed by holding the power button and push up/down on the volume, you need to go to the home screen and click to the top right for options. Doing so won't close a 3DS/2DS game, but it will for a DS game
- Obviously, you can't fold the 2DS. This means more dust on the screen. Get a screen protector!
- A major problem with the DSi was the L and R buttons, which broke because of dust buildup ( blowing into it will momentarily fix the problem, but will end up ruining the device eventually from the moisture that comes when you blow). The 2DS' L and R buttons seem sturdier.
- Folders can be created on the home screen, no big deal
- The Circle-Pad is comfortable and easy to use. The arrow buttons, not so much, but it's still possible to use. You can use the Circle-Pad as a replacement for them for DS games.
- BIGGER TOP SCREEN: awesome. It won't stretch normal DS games, which I found surprising since there is a DSiXL. Is there an option for this?
- The stylus is different, not as thin and easier to grip
- !!Awesomer store!! There are free demos and full-on games a-plenty at the eShop, with tons of older games like Super Mario Bros, or galaga. I'm a bit disappointed that EarthBound isn't for sale though.
- I've also gotten Kid Icarous: Of Myths and Monsters free from Nintendo Club (the 2DS is 100 coins, older games like Mario 3D Land is 10, and newer ones 20-40. You need 150-200 coins to get a 100% free game), which anyone can get after signing up, filling out a survey per game, and getting a code which you use through the eShop on your 2DS/3DS to get the specific game.
-SteatPass: A fun little feature, and nothing more. Basically, bring this on a car drive or whatever and later see if you've met any other miis
---- comparison to the 3DS ----
I don't have a 3DS, but I have tried them every now and then. The grip around the 2DS is overall easier because there is more room for your palm. Also, it can be difficult to play without the 3D at times. Mario 3D Land, for an example. A 3D effect that the 3DS offers helps see the distance from one block to another. I've still managed to get along just fine, however.If you can get all the stars in Mario 64, Mario 3D Land is quite the piece of cake. Lastly, I believe turning on the 3D on a 3DS takes up more batteries, while I'm not certain.
If you're anything like me, than you hate 3D in anything. Sure, it's fun initially, but tiresome after a while.
So buying a 3DS worth the additional 50-30 bucks? In my opinion, nope.

Lee cartuchos de DS y 3DS, sin el efecto 3D.
Already got a few games (which are very affordable compared to all other consoles) and I am quite impressed with the quality, both of game play and graphics.
The only down side to this is the fact that the device is in no way ergonomic :
prepare for cramps in the hands !
I wish they would make an ergonomic casing for it, but I found nothing so far..
