The grip is good and consistent, giving a natural handle to the console, and is great for people who are used to the flat design of the console, because when you grab it is as natural as grabbing the console without any grip, but more comfortable. For the bottom part with the grip, it's a standard double handle just like a modern controller has, but instead of being curved just like a controller one (and other grips for other 3DS consoles), they are two semi-solid, rubber textured bars.
