Circle Pad Grip Breaking! How Do I Go About Fixing/Replacing?

I'd go to a specialist. If you choose Nintendo, it will cost you almost as much as buying a new 3DS, from what I've heard. :/
My circle pad broke on my last 3DS, but I decided to buy a new one (because it was already really old, and the battery was always dead).

How badly is it broken? Can we get a pic? The level of the damage determines how you'd fix it. (Either repair, or outright replacement)

Some careful doctoring with a pair of tweezers (for leverage) and some super-glue oughta do the job.
If it comes off entirely though you can probably just craft a new one out of duct tape. It'd probably feel better too.

You could just overlay the entire grip pad with duct-tape and preserve it if you're worried about it breaking.

Try playing without it. Mine came off completely a while back and instead of gluing it back on I decided to just keep playing without it. I actually kind of like it without the circle pad.
i believe you can buy circle pads online and have somebody attach it to you. here's a link i found but of course you can search for better/cheaper alternatives. https://www.amazon.com/ValueDeluxe-Nintendo-Cleaning-replacement-packaging-DS/dp/B00KCH4G56
also, playing without the circle pad isn't bad either. you'll get used to it.
