The 2ds is possibly smaller.

2ds dimensions  
**Width:** 14.4 cm (5.7 in)  
**Height:** 12.7 cm (5.0 in)  
**Depth:** 2.03 cm (0.80 in)

From this thread, these approximate dimensions are speculated -

> If you compare the DevTerm keyboard to a Thinkpad keyboard with trackpoint mouse the dimensions are very similar, so I think the trackball and mouse buttons positions chosen makes sense ergonomically. Also, to the original question, extrapolating from the keyboard dimensions, the overall size of the DevTerm seem to be about 200mm wide (215mm with knobs), 157mm tall, 20mm (25mm including keys) deep at the keyboard and 30mm thick at the rear. It’s a little frustratin…

215mmx157mmx25mm  
21.5cmx15.7cmx2.5cm  
8.46inx6.18inx.98in

Which I think will make it too big for the 2ds case
