Get your skins on: Wii, PS3, Zune, Xbox 360, PSP

Cookie cutter gadget? Passe. It's all about skins, even the kind that may or may not ruin the shiny new finish on your valued consumer electronics. Submitted for your approval: tons of skins for your rare and lustworthy devices. Ok, so the 360 isn't much of a skin, but we find the literal use of the term rather amusing, and when was the last time you saw a fake-fur faceplate?

P.S. -Big ups on the Xbox 360 and Eames-inspired PS3 and Wii skins above.

Getting skins for your electronic gadgets is the thing to do it seems now,i have to admit that there is quite a few that i think do look really cool and make the console or mp3 player look a lot better,it's just a matter of finding the right one.

Pretty cool,

I got my skins from http://www.pimpmywii.com - no problem sticking them on since the material is resitant to air bubbles. Looks awesome - no gaps, glossy surface - Haven’t tried decalgirl yet - might get one for the 360!

I think protective skins are the way to go no smudges,smears,finger prints,oh ya not to mention no more scratches on your sweet looking gadget.I have one on my Black Berry and it still looks sweet and does not interfere with the functionality.

Ps3 is now the common choice of the young youth. if you have your own ps3 then you can modify it by covering it with the skins that are available for the ps3. you can also select the color for your play station skin!! try http://www.decalskin.com/ site and then see yourself that how many skins are available for your ps3!!!

Poor taste knows no bounds.

[morfinx @ Nov 26th 2006 12:07AM]

Some of the designs aren't too bad. I think it's a good way to customize your gadgets, provide that the skins themselves are of good quality.

*vomits*

[Chris @ Nov 26th 2006 12:27AM]

They really ought to call the Wii models condoms: 'A skin to cover and protect your Wii!'

[shredsled87 @ Nov 26th 2006 12:32AM]

@ Chris -

Hehehehe, good one.

[Ryan @ Nov 26th 2006 12:37AM]

Does anyone know if skins ruin the product? are they easy to remove and stuff?
some of the zune ones look nice.

[David W. @ Nov 26th 2006 1:41AM]

Yea, I use one for my iPod and had one on my PSP before it got stolen. They aren't easy to put on, because you want them to line up well, but they are good quality and are easy to remove :)

[Raider @ Nov 26th 2006 12:53AM]

Is it me, but doesn't that PS3 skin look like the green circles on the 360's box? Just in blue.

[Joe Manning @ Nov 26th 2006 12:58AM]

I love decal girl. Skinit also does some cool stuff for cell phones and many more products. Plus at skinit you can design your own. I have bought the woodland camo for my PSP and the amoebic one for my DS lite. I plan on skinning my Wii with the bones one and a nano if i get one.

[scupfisher @ Nov 26th 2006 1:30AM]

I've bought a skin from decalgirl for my Gamecube and PS2. Great quality and the skin comes off easy and clean when you want to remove it(even after a year). Highly recomended products.

[Chakrisu @ Nov 26th 2006 2:06AM]

Some aren't too bad. They even have a cow skin!

[Jared Lubrico @ Nov 26th 2006 2:14AM]

1.) 90% of skins look really cheesy IMO. They ruin the original sexiness the console has to offer out of the box.

2.) Why does that PS3 skin look like a blue 360 Logo ?

[Jeremy @ Nov 26th 2006 3:20AM]

Apart from consoles, does anyone know how these things look on Zunes? What do they feel like? Are they easy to take off? I like the camo, carnage, and solid white zune skins, but I don't wanna mess mine up.

[sonsabichess @ Nov 26th 2006 4:56AM]

damn yo! chucky cheese called, he said he wanted his cheesy ass skins back. i know, bad joke, but considering how bad these skins are i thought that stupid ass chucky cheese joke wouldent look too bad in comparison.

[Z @ Nov 26th 2006 4:59AM]

I love the look of these skins. They're high quality, they protect your devices, and make them look great. And yes, they can be removed without damaging the surface. You just have to have a little patience applying them, but patience pays off.

I have skins for both my video Ipod and my PSP.

Game consoles especially look so boring and these skins make them look so much more interesting and unique.

I buy mine from DecalGirl. And no, I don't work there or know anyone who does. I just like the decals.

[Kit @ Nov 26th 2006 5:12AM]

Lord help me, that website took my money before I knew what was happening. Two Wiimtoe covers, a Wii cover, a classic controller cover and a laptop cover. Oops.

[Raider @ Nov 26th 2006 5:15AM]

I wonder how the skin on the PS3's front panel effects the touch sensitive buttons (eject & power).

[PerfectCr @ Nov 26th 2006 8:04AM]

Decal girl rocks. I've purchased a 3 skins for my Xbox 360's (I have two, I already changed one of them) and they come right off when you take it off. They look so good that people that come over think it's painted!

[Jayson @ Nov 26th 2006 9:46AM]

"P.S. -Big ups on the Xbox 360 and Eames-inspired PS3 and Wii skins above."

Am I missing something? Is there a Xbox 360 behind the PS3 in the picture? Why can't I see it?

[cjrenaud @ Nov 26th 2006 10:47AM]

It doesn't say there's a 360 in the picture...just that the PS3 skin is 360-inspired. They forgot a hyphen after "Xbox 360" so it's easy to misread it.

[Sif @ Nov 26th 2006 11:12AM]

D: Who would do that to such a pretty PS3?

[GJP303 @ Nov 26th 2006 4:25PM]

Its pretty, but it scratches pretty easy aswell. If i spent 500 to 600 on a ps3, i would protect it w/ a skin.

[Robert @ Nov 26th 2006 3:06PM]

anyone have one? email me on how it looks please!

[Jordan Job @ Nov 26th 2006 10:54PM]

Don't put one of these skins on your iPod. It causes more issues then it solves. If you do buy one, get the clear ones which are MUCH easier to remove.

[Alex @ Apr 4th 2007 5:53PM]

Similar company but is more focused on online design is leftskins.com http://www.leftskins.com

[Katerina @ Jun 20th 2007 3:05PM]

I've just bought one of those WrapStar skins for PSP. The only thing that surprised me is that the back bit is just a rectangle with no cut-outs to show the metal ring at the back of my PSP. Is that right or did they send me bad stuff?
