Topic: Decalgirl or other custom skins for 3DS XL

I preorderd the nes version of the XL. (you know, the gamestop exclusive one) I read a bunch of people hating on it because of its bland design, but I ordered it anyway because I thought it looked cool. But the more I look at it the more I don't like it, so I searched online for skins and saw that they make them for 3DS XL and you can customize them how ever you want. So I'm curious does anyone here have a skin on their 3DS? (from Decalgirl, skintomi, etc.)

Why lie? I'm a Nintendo fanboy.

I did have a skin on my regular 3DS for a while. It was from Decalgirl and I was pretty happy with the overall quality.

I got mine from Skinit, seems like they don't care much for copyrighted stuff (I have anime characters on mine), so I kinda don't want to try Decalgirl. Afraid they'll say "you can't use this custom skin, blah blah blah" lol

I actually have a Decalgirl skin on my 3ds xl (The Matte finish) and I really like it!

@Xiao_Pai I went to skinit and they don't have 3DS XL skins I hope decalgirl doesn't reject my skin...

I want to make it look kind of like the NES edition of the GBA SP

It shouldn't be too hard considering the 3DS XL NES edition is gray and already has red buttons and a black d-pad..

Yeah that's the only thing that sucks about Skinit, they take forever to get skins for new systems there. >_>
And apparently you can't email them about it, they won't take suggestions.

Is there anything similar for the Wii U gamepad that still allows it to fit into the charging cradle but means it needs to be cleaned less often to get rid of the smudges. (Not too bothered about looks).

Well, I ordered a custom skin made to look like the NES edition GBA SP except instead of it saying "Nintendo" in red text, it says my name. HA! I got around the copyright rule, In your face decalgirl!!!! It turned out okay I guess. (I'm not very good at photoshop lol) IDK how long its going to take to get here, but when it does I'll post pictures.

@unrandomsam They do make decals for the gamepad but I've never had one (yet) so IDK about the whole charging cradle thing. They come in 'glossy' or 'matte' finishes. 'matte' being the one that's finger print resistant.

Decalgirl actually has an nes 3ds xl skin I believe. It's one of the main reasons I'm not getting the nes edition

Yeah, they have one but it's not exactly what I want. It looks like this:

I don't like the inside or the "retro" logo. AND you can see the original color in the gaps of the skin which look make it look kinda 'off'

OP here, I finally got the custom skin! As promised, here are the pics: FYI there's a TPU case on my 3DS XL

Sorry for the crappy quality... Anyways, they turned out pretty good. (better than the Decalgirl one lol)
I accidentally stretched the middle sticker that was supposed to go in the inside

Edit: It looks like the black stripe on the outer skins don't line up, but it's just the angle of the pic. In real life they do line up. Also I didn't even bother putting on the Inner skin for the top screen, after hearing people say it was the hardest to install.

That looks very sweet , I'm scarred to fail miserably when I apply these things, that's why I don't do it anymore.

Just FYI, when I bought mine I thought to myself instantly "why did I buy that, I'll never get it to fit!"; but honestly, the things are remarkably easy to fit.
The one I bought allowed for more than one 'peel off and try again', so don't be afraid to give it a go.

I have a skin for my PS3 and you can remove it easily. It's made for multiple applications

So has anyone tried making a custom skin on Decalgirl with video/anime characters? Like, you think they would ignore it or something? lol

Hey I don't know if this is too much to ask for but may I use the image you used to make your awesome skin? I would really really appreciate it!

@clogthatanus Only the outer skins are an image. Decal girl uses this weird app where you upload pictures and place them where you want. all of the gray parts (surrounding the buttons) and my name (red logo used instead of copyrighted Nintendo logo) are all different pieces on a black background. btw this skin only works on an NES edition 3DS XL, because it's a grey system with black and red buttons.
