While not custom designed, I got this really awesome case for my 3DS last year, found out about it from Tiny Cartridge who got it from Play-Asia

 

[Jotamide]

Can they turn my red 3DS XL black?

If not, don't care.

For that you'll need a case:

* pro tip* If you folks are contemplating making or purchasing a vinyl decal, try to get a few copies made. It may take you a few attempts to perfect applying the thing without stretching or making air bubbles.

 

[jaypah]

Want.

Hawt. Love me some retro themes, especially the infamous ones.

 

[prateeko]

I am contemplating getting this one:

Sweet mother, reminds me of the special Carizard edition GBA SP

 

[Dark Octave]

Came in here expecting a real solution to Playskool 3DS issue.

Nintendo needs grown colors for the 3DS yesterday.

 

[Bururian]

Behind the case, I did do this a while back, since it was the perfect color.

 

[Gin]

For that you'll need a case:

where can you pick up something like this?

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Fuck Nintendo. If we don't get an all black or all white XL announced at E3 then I'm done, and I'm not bothering with the system at all. There's absolutely no reason for these colors to not exist, and if they want to continue to operate with their heads up their ass then they lost me as a 3DS consumer.

"a thread for those sick of Playskool handhelds"

ok

Came to post this, haha.

But thanks for pointing this stuff out. My XL could use a little zazz.

 

[Soriku]

I don't use this 3DS since I got an XL, but it continues to sit comfortably on its cradle lookin' all snazzy.

This looks awesome.

OMG Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2 for GB(C) were some of my favorite games. I was disappointed by the Joker series on DS. Is this a return to form? I hope it gets localized.

OMGGGG WHY IS THIS NOT LOCALIZED YET OMG

 

[Arc07]

Couple people PM'd about more pictures of the Zelda decal before they bought one so I'll just post them here.

It came in three separate decals and I'm the type of person that requires three or four screen protectors before I get one right. Luckily these went on straight and somewhat level. I'd say it's about 1mm off center but that's about as good as I'll get it.

 

[Unicorn]

How long has it been applied? How do you feel it deals with wear and tear of use? My biggest fear is a corner peeling up or something akin to that. Some minor occurrence that will cause my OCD to rip the whole thing off

 

[Arc07]

I put it on around the end of November. When I travel I use the Club Nintendo pouch. Haven't had anything snag yet. The pointy gray parts worry me though.

 

[Unicorn]

Yeah, I've got the Club Nintendo pouch as well. Best use of Coins yet.

 

[Meia]

I don't have the XL yet, but yeah, that Hylian decal means I'm getting the blue when I get one. That is amazing looking.

 

[javac]

Haven't stuck anything on my awesometacular white 3DS XL or even on my also awesometacular cosmos Black 3DS yet but I'll be looking for inspiration here!

 

[superfamicom]

So a solid colour 3DS is playschool, but a 3DS plastered with Pokemon, Yoshi and all manner of kiddy characters isn't?

It's even more Playschool

 

[soxinthebox]

*barf* Sorry but that looks tacky and gross. The aqua coming out from the gaps makes it look even worse...

I like it

It's more that I see people complain that the blue and red XL look like such things. Personally, after seeing the two colors in person I don't fall into that line of logic. This thread was an attempt to give people who DO feel that way the avenues to change that perception. As with the Hylian Blue XL there are ways to make the red and blue XL seem less like a child's toy.

Having a pink XL is already falling full-on into "kiddy" territory, so I'm obviously not one who feels my manhood is threatened by owning such a device. Or, I don't care enough about my manhood to have my handheld gaming device define that aspect of me.

Missing the eyebrows!

Must be a Japanese system.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Kirby has nipples. Can't unsee.

 

[Muppety]

Old one:

New one I changed to recently:

Probably should have placed it differently (and had it printed to a different size), but I'm quite happy with it for now.

 

[cube444]

Would love to get a Luigi inspired one for my niece but they seem hard to find. Mario gets all the love.

 

[mariachi507]

I'll probably bite once they make a Samus one I like. I'm not a fan of the visor decal they have listed.

 

[catabarez]

hate customizing handhelds

dont like 2 different colors either. Give me all white or all black matte and I'll buy another XL by the end of the year

Salsa gets me.

 

[DonMigs85]

The Union Jack goes well on anything

 

[Unicorn]

They do custom orders. So if you have a suggestion or even a base image for them they'll work with you.

 

[axisofweevils]

Well, I recently imported a 3DS from the US... So I didn't confuse it with the other one....

And yes, I even did the inside.

Note: They're just Gelaskins stuck to a metal case, not the console itself.

 

[Unicorn]

I think we found a challenger for the Lost in Blue DS...

 

[Kandinsky]

Oh my god.

 

[Why would you do that?]

I think we found a challenger for the Lost in Blue DS...

Haha that's horrible. Even if he tried to make it horrible, there's no way he'd reach the level of evil as the Lost in Blue DS.

 

[BlackJace]

Copping the Phoenix Wright one

 

[someguyinahat]

Can they turn my red 3DS XL black?

If not, don't care.

It's a 3DS, not a door.

 

[EktorPR]

Here's my XL back in August when I purchased it... Hard to believe the decal is still pretty much intact after 10 months of hard use.

 

[GDGF]

The Union Jack goes well on anything

That looks amazing.

 

[RoninChaos]

I've never applied something like this. What's the best way to do it?

 

[adversesolutions]

I guess mine technically counts.

 

[10k]

I'm also a fan of solid colors. I want a green ranger green 3ds XL (dragon ranger of course, the OG green ranger)

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah I disagree with the common idea of hating the current colors. Because nothing says not-preschool by having a charizard decal.

 

[ramyeon]

Those gelaskins are tacky and horrid.

Besides, I'd never put anything on my white 3DSXL, it's pretty much stunning just by itself.

 

[big_z]

I think I can hold out for a few weeks so Nintendo can announce white and black for North America. Stickers look grimy over time.

 

[perorist]

Can't stand silver so I commissioned the artist from the OP link to make some slime stickers a while ago, I believe you can buy them as a product on their site

Metal slimes are OK!

 

[Htown]

"a thread for those sick of Playskool handhelds"

ok

that was my first thought

MAN FUCK YO PLAYSKOOL BULLSHIT, PUT A CLEFAIRY ON YOUR SHIT LIKE A GODDAMN GROWNUP

lol

 

[Sats]

I was thinking of painting my 3ds xl but I don't know how to go about that...

 

[Boss Doggie]

Yeah.

That's why I actually like the direction of the Eevee 3DS XL

 

[Sats]

Okay, did some research. Gonna try to Plasti Dip the 3DS and experiment from there.

Gonna try for this:
