      @ChoccyHobNob If you take requests, I'd love to see a MegaDrive II case.

      MegaDrive II

      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 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' ?
