Should I get a 2DS?

I thought that it's supposed to have a button or slider (similar to volume) that puts it into power save/ sleep mode since it doesn't have the option to be folded up while on like the other 3DS models.

Got a 2DS for my B-day. First impressions are favorable; It's smaller than I thought it would be, but the control layout seems fine. I haven't played any games with it yet, though--I won't let myself until I'm done for the semester.

Best advice I have gathered on the 2DS so far comes from this:

bumping an old thread but I just picked up a 2DS last month and I see no drawbacks to getting one if you're a casual gamer. One of my kids has a 3DS that I've played around with but it's glued to his hands basically. For $79 if you don't care about 3D I say go for it. I bought it just to play some Professor Layton games and other slower paced stuff. It actually fits better in my hands then the clam-shell.
