Show and Tell: From wallpaper to DS

We haven't seen a lot of custom skins made by our readers, so we were pretty excited when That Girl sent in pictures of her skin, adapted from a wallpaper. The colors and design really suit her DS Lite perfectly, and it's always nice to see someone tastefully customizing their handheld while giving a nod to another fandom. It's not just the outside that's prettified, either; hit the jump to see the inside of the DS.

Have you made a custom skin or anything else Nintendo-related? We'd love to know about it! Show us what you've got and we'll tell the world -- just take a few pictures, scribble a few lines, and send it all to showmeit [at] dsfanboy [dot] com. We'll take care of the rest.

That is awesome. Amazing. I'd love something similar for my DS.

Though, the umbrella does look incredibly phallus-like. That wouldn't put me off though.

How is this done? I have a rough idea for a design that I want, but no idea of how to do it.

I can't help but notice with these designs that they are all upside-down. Shouldn't your design be for when you are playing it, and your audience looks at your DS?

The logos on laptops is what comes in mind. Dell, Apple, Alienware, etc. They incorporate the logo for when you have the thing open.

It looks nice, but I think that having it on just the outside would be best.

Saw some inkjet transparent sheets with I think low tack glue. The package said leaves no residue. Be fun to try something like this...
