Retro Case Skins for the Most Popular Pi Cases
-
@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.

@Rion
I just went to the site and it was working for me but your post was bout 2 hours ago. -
@backstander You are right. It's working now 😀

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 :-)
My other case is a LEGO NES case:
-
@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.
-
Got mine today:) can't wait to fit it now! Nice job

@ChoccyHobNob shame I don't have an official case. I have this one.
That case is now supported :)

@ChoccyHobNob Sweeet

@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?

It hasn't caused any on mine and it's had an overclocked pi running in it for a couple of weeks, so I'd say you should be ok

@ChoccyHobNob
Awesome! I just ordered me one! -
Oh I almost forgot to mention! 20% off everything on Red Bubble today if you use the code GOFETCH20.
Follow me on Red bubble if you want to know when new skins get released
I'd forget my head if it weren't attached!

@ChoccyHobNob If you take requests, I'd love to see a MegaDrive II case.
That's the system that really hits my nostalgia center. I'm not sure how it would work though, considering it's square.
-
@ChoccyHobNob I'm also curious, are they the kind of stickers that are easily removed if you want to change them, or are they kind that tear instead of peeling off?
-
@mattrixk I had similar issues with GameCube and Dreamcast
-
@mattrixk Peelable and restickable, I have a few I swap out now and then, like I used to with phone skins
-
@ChoccyHobNob Nice. The man thinks ahead.
