woah that stinks!
as for the screen stuff i agree with agravain, get screen covers!
i bought a Nintendo licensed combo pack including 2 screen protectors and 2 click-pen styluses for only $10.00 at Best Buy. SPLURGE! lol
i just tried to search on google and couldnt find the exact type so i cant post a pic without the trouble of taking one. if anyone really wants to check it out i will cause this is a super deal.
new ds(lite) owners DO IT!
