      @ChoccyHobNob Thanks!

      I ordered the Amiga500 one in the end, as I have the white and red case.

      Might buy myself a black case just so I can stick your ZX Spectrum wrap on it now though! There's no such thing as too many Raspberry Pi's right?

      :-)

            I will be buying one, (once I figure out which one I like best. I might buy a few and just get more official cases, since I have a bunch of Pis with RetroPie on them. that might be the way to go.

              It's arrived! Thank you very much!

              It was most admired at our local retro club last night!

                  @GtBFilms digging the joystick. Is it something official or a homebrew?

                    I've ordered the NES and the Atari 2600 skins, along with both white and ablack 'official' cases. I'll post some pics when done.

                      @edmaul69 a guy called Mike Hanson made it for me, he does a lot of bespoke joysticks. That's a 4-way one and was only £30 - I didn't reckon I could built it myself any cheaper. He was recommended to me as apparently Jon Stoodley, the only UK pacman player with a perfect score, uses these joysticks for practice.

                      I'm currently saving to get him to build me an Asteroids one, although that's going to cost a bit more.

                              I just wanted to post a quick update here. I have listened to the requests I've received and have redrawn all the skins from scratch, improving the colours and details, they now also fit Flirc and oneninedesign cases (the 'pro' one you get from canakit/rs/mod-my-pi) as well as the official case, I've also added a bunch of new ones.

                              None of that is live yet, I have just ordered test skins to make sure the fit is good before unleashing them on the unwary public!

                              I'll update here when I put the new things live!

                                I've got the oneninedesign black canakit case and I would love to see a TurboGrafx 16 (or PC Engine) skin :-)

                                  @backstander I finished the Neo-Geo and N64 today, XBox, Famicom & PS1 the day before. Gamecube is in progress. I should be able to do a Turbografx as well before I run out of drawing time.

                                      @ChoccyHobNob shame I don't have an official case. I have this one.

                                      That case is now supported :)

                                            @ChoccyHobNob I really like that Intellivision skin!

                                            I have one of the 'premium' cases from Canakit. I'm wondering about the recessed Raspberry logo vent on the top lid. If you stick one of these decals on there, is the warm air coming through the gap going to cause any bubbling of the vinyl?
