Customise Your Nintendo Switch With These 'Safe' Console Skins

Decal Skins? they stickers or complete cover?

Had My Zelda skins on for just over a year and was worried when they started to wear down that I would have to peal them off. Well I pealed them off just a few weeks ago and zero problems. Not sure if it was just that one manufacturer or not but mine were fine.

They look decent. I'm tempted but I know I'm too lazy to put them on myself.

Hmm, I’d air on the side of caution.

I can believe they will do no damage - I doubt a mere mortal like myself would ever be able to apply one and make it look like they do in the pics!

*err

They certainly look nice. I wonder if the joy-con will still fit in the grip with them on. I will now await your test results people.

I would wait till Nintendo drops official themed Joy-Cons....they are bound to be coming. Give me Game Boy (1989) and GameCube Joy-Cons.

Ooooh.... !!
So Colorful.
But mine is already White before this advertising.

Since my grey ones are no longer under warranty I think I may have them customized.

Love that yellow. Getting that for my joy cons. Purple accent on my deck, and carbon fiber for it and the switch. $35 total for all it, ain't bad.

I'm inclined to believe them when they say they're safe, considering they had this product lined up before the Switch even launched, but pulled it when they got their hands on the Switch and realized it would damage the finish. Glad to see they reworked it and are back! (but I have neon yellow joycon now, so too late for me)

I used a skinit skin before and it didn't cause any damage when I took it off to fix my left joy con.

I never got around to getting another set so this has come at the right time. Left purple and right orange for me. Beautiful.

Hm. I do want skins for my joycons. But I'll wait until reviews/tests for this come out to jump on it.

@Arcamenel I really regret going for the grey JoyCon Switch at launch. Despite REALLY looking after my Switch and only using it with very clean hands, both my JoyCon have permanent fingerprint marks and look very, erm.. used.

My brothers neon yellow JoyCon, on the other hand, still look brand new. Wish I could get a new set.

@Anti-Matter Looks nice! 😊

@Bunkerneath A complete cover. They're like skins on your phone. The parts you want to cover are customizable, however.

Finally, the perfect Switch can be made:

I just ordered myself a pair, because why not? I trust they'll be fine now, and cost ain't bad.

@Anti-Matter very nice Switch you have there.

I'm still holding out for Metroid colours at end of year lol

Tempting but I still prefer not to put things on my hardware that have any adhesive.

Also yeah Nintendo has a decent number of colors of Joy-cons, but I still hope we get more eventually. I really want set of green and a set of blue Joy-cons. Not neon though, closer to the red ones we got for Mario Odyssey. I'd also love a retro themed set based on NES or Famicom colors. (I have way more controllers for Switch than I could ever need)

I’d like to see a review first. They look cool but online reviews of the company weren’t so hot. Mostly people saying it takes them days to ship. Also will the joycons still fit in the grip afterwards? I’d like to see Mario, Yoshi, Bowser, etc joycons made by Nintendo. I’d drop $80 for another set, because I’m nuts.

@SmaggTheSmug thanks doc

@Claytonbob
Look at my White Joy Cons above.
I bought from Ebay just for $ 25 for the Skin plate + Colorful buttons.
The material is pretty sturdy, guarantee will fit with Joy Cons innard.
I asked my local video game repairman to swap my Red Joy Cons become White Joy Cons.
Also, there are a lot of color to be chosen.

@PhilKenSebben
Dunno if they were released in the US, but Nintendo launched bright yellow Joy-Cons with the release of ARMS...have them and when I'm playing in public loads of people want to know how to get hold of them .

why the parantheses around safe? It does not instill confidence.

@FredTheCat I have seen them, and they are nice. I like the darker shade here though. But thanks

@The_Pixel_King wear looks good imo.

“There are skins, but plenty of them have left damaging marks on your hardware”

Has there been any verified cases of decals causing issues other then dBrands own ones that they pulled themselves? People keep saying decals are unsafe and linking to this one product that didn’t ship...did it impact any other company? The fact they are shipping decals now would suggest there is safe solutions and the assertions therefore that decals are not safe were not applicable across the market as some made out.

Some Zelda decals for example shipped when the Switch was release and a few months later I certainly couldn’t find examples of those having damaged controllers.
