      @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 Peelable and restickable, I have a few I swap out now and then, like I used to with phone skins

              The Intellivision skin is no longer available. Seems that the people over at Intellivision Lives are pretty aggressive defending their ™ :(

                  @ChoccyHobNob: You think they'd like anything that helps people remember their nearly 4 decade old system.

                    @ChoccyHobNob I have removed the Intellivision wordmark from the skin and asked Red Bubble if that is ok to re-upload. I think I'll ask the people at Intellivision lives too.

                        I think these look great! I have one of the oneninedesign cases: any chance we'll see just plain colours for these?

                          @Danorak1981 I don't see any reason why not, what colours would you like?

                            OK I have a PizeroW on order, and a case. Any ideas for skin designs? I think maybe nes/famicom controllers would look good, anything else?

                              Any system controller would look great and perhaps even a GameBoy. If you ever decide to branch out from systems, I'd personally like to see Han in carbonite.

                              Edit: I just have seen that you added a GameBoy to your full size designs, as well as quite a few others. You've really been busy.

                                  OK so game controllers, a gameboy, and Han in carbonite, and elsewhere someone said a pack of wrigleys juicy fruit or a mars bar. O_o

                                    @ChoccyHobNob I don't know really! I've got a bit of a thing for orange: I recently ordered a sheet of gloss vinyl to cover just the lid but haven't gotten round to it. I use a multicoloured striped splash screen during start up (I forget the name of it right now), but even something that echoed that would look cool. I like the idea of doing just the lid in a block of colour.

                                    I'll have a go with my vinyl in the next few days and see what it looks like-if it looks ok i may have to tap you up and see how you feel about it!

                                      @Danorak1981 Orange and Blue is always a good combo, its got to be worth trying at least!

                                        I finally got around to putting on my NEC TurboGrafx 16 Skin for the Premium case. I decided to cut out the raspberry shaped vent with an x-acto knife. Sorry the first picture is blurry (it was so bright outside I couldn't see my phone's screen).

                                        Here are the pictures:

                                          i received my skin. irritatingly i've apparently ordered some small version which is the wrong size. why are there 3 size options for, say, https://www.redbubble.com/people/choccyhobnob/works/24403736-nintendo-entertainment-system-nes-skin-for-the-official-case?p=sticker

                                          surely only one of these is ever appropriate for the 'official case' ?

                                            @dankcushions Because Redbubble are an art printing service much like cafepress or zazzle. They are one of the few who do vinyl stickers which is why I use them. Sadly they think everyone wants a choice in the size of the stickers they order. There is no way to tell them not to offer the stickers in multiple sizes or to cut them closer to the art.

                                            This is why I state on my redbubble profile page, and the description of each collection, and in the artist notes for each skin, and have put it on the actual art as well, that the medium size is the one to get. There is nowhere else I can put it. I cannot make it any clearer and people still buy the small size. I have no way to contact the buyer either or I'd send a mail to anyone that does order a small.

                                            You can contact Redbubble for a refund and get the correct size, but beyond that there isn't much i can do.

                                            If I sold thousands of these it might be worth buying the $10K printer required to print them myself, but I make so little from them it's just a fun thing I hope people enjoy, not a business.
