DS Daily: Who's got their skin on?
GelaSkins' awesome range of DS skins got us thinking about decorating our handhelds all over again, but who out there has already skinned their DS, and which design did you opt for? Better still, have any of you customized your own DS skin? If so, now is your chance to show it off (pictures are a must for this DS Daily, obviously), and perhaps even earn yourself some internet fame!*

I haven't skinned my DS but I did use one of their skins on my iPod. It looks great, but the texture of it is a little unexpected - it feels alot like really smooth duct tape, with all the little stringy ridges there.
I'd recommend them anyway, even though i haven't done any DS skinning.

I recently purchased a Taiko Drum Master DS on the cheap and it should be here any day now. It's obnoxiously colorful and features a trillion Japanese cutesies per a square inch. It's incredible.
I also took a gander at the skins from that site a few weeks back and really, really, liked what they had. The coolest hast to be Swinging DAIM by DAIM (the one with the 3D graffiti-style arrows on a black-to-grey gradient background).

Do you mean the game or a limited edition DS system? If the latter, post pics!

It's a skin for the DS, sorry I didn't describe it that well in the first sentence. And yes, as SOON as it comes in I'll post it. Now I just have to find some convenient segue to do so...haha.

Not the best quality picture, and it's a little worn out by now, but here's my skin:

Yeah, self-promotion. I should be ashamed of myself, but I'm not :P

Mine is naked. My wife has the Yoshi skin on hers. She LOVES that little guy!!
Britton @ Apr 24th 2008 1:17PM
Haha, my girlfriend's obsessed with Yoshi as well. She plays anything Yoshi-related. So yes, she does own a Wii.

I had a One Piece skin on my DS Phat that almost got worn blank around the buttons and on the top. My Lite, however... it's too smooth and sleek, I just can't bring myself to slap a sticker on top of that.

I have a Gelaskin that just came in yesterday and here it is:

sorry, the top link is goofy. The bottom shows the inside, and this link shows the outside

I must say, I would not have chosen that skin initially but it looks absolutely fantastic! Good, no, great choice!
elend @ Apr 24th 2008 5:59PM
I am still thinking about it. The one used by Dr.Blam looks gorgeous. But the naked DS is perfect as it is, as well! Oh the horrors. Can't decide.

I skinned mine with the Fantasy Green (Xbox 360) skin from decalgirl.com. Check out my website for some pics of it.

I've done a couple DIY skins. Here's my old one, Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Elliewellie77/DSC00040.jpg
The one I'm using now: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/Elliewellie77/DSC00403.jpg
It's Orochi from Okami, from the artbook :D
I want to know how people fit photo paper in their cases, 'cause I tried that and it broke the case's hinge -.-;
Nelg @ Apr 25th 2008 5:41AM
Not exactly a skin, and I've shown this here before, but still: the lower is what I'm trying to paint now: http://oranse.kapsi.fi/ods.jpg

Flying Spaghetti Monster? Oh man I'm hooked now! I didn't know GelaSkins was going for the religious crowd.
Dan @ Apr 27th 2008 2:21AM
I got my girlfriend a Hello Kitty skin as a gift. She liked it...
Sam @ Apr 28th 2008 4:14PM
I've had a Fullmetal Alchemist skin for a pretty long time...I'm kind of tired of it though.
