Ok, new question...we all know about those custom skin making sites for random devices and stuff. But, I've been looking around and was wondering, has anyone actually made their own skins by buying the type of paper themselves and printing it all out and stuff? Any recommendations? I've been looking around and see a bunch of options but with mixed reviews, thought this would be easier than relying on a site to have the system (one I use to use for my regular 3DS doesn't even have XL or the New system) or having to deal with copyright stuff.

Has anyone done this themselves, and what should I go for exactly?

most of the print your own lable/sticker stuff I've used isnt very good, and likely wouldn't last to long. If I were going to do it I'd go to a sign shop and get them to print a high quality one, or use vector graphics and just have some vinyl cut to size.

IDK where you are located, but there is a guy on eBay that makes some vinyl stickers meant to fit directly on to the 3DS XL for about $7 shipped here in the US (I think he is in Florida) minicreations is his seller ID.

I have been thinking about buying a monster hunter 4 one from him but its for 4G, I'm sure he could change it to a U if I asked.

Most sign shops I know do not care much as long as it's a one off item. It's like sticking a custom Intel or AMD sticker on your custom built PC.

So I can't like, make multiple ones then? Like several images at once and cut them myself at home and all that? Never been to a sign shop before, so, yeah. >.>

That will likely be fine...some shops might not care at all. Look for one in your area then go in and ask. They should be helpful and be able to give you the info on what type of service you need along with pricing.

If you don't know much about the types of service sign shops do, I'd suggest going in so they can explain it to you. Make sure you know about what size you need the images to be and the background color you want. (if you go with a print insted of cut vinyl, clear is usually an option too.)

wait, you can get custom pre-cut vinyl? Like, one for the New 3DS? Because I was just gonna go with the small sticker route, lol
But if those shops don't really care (kinda figured those were for like...important stuff or something. xD

Seems like all the shops near me only do business stuff and no decal/sticker options. :c
Thought I found one that included hobbies or something, but I can't find it anymore, go figure. lol

...You think I'd just try my luck with DecalGirl? What do they look at when it comes to "copyright" images? Because Skinit said they just look at the symbols and all that, and assumed the characters I used for my old 3DS weren't copyright. Not sure if this other site will be the same though.

If your 3DS use a crystal case, I can give you cheaper alternative.
Print your skin on any non-glossy paper with home printer at exact size of your 3DS. Then cut and slip it under the crystal case (use the gap between the case and 3ds). It works great on mine.

Please don't say that graphic in games are not important. It hurts me as a game graphic artist.
