Skinning a DSi

So it Exactly What It Says on the Tin. I dunno if this is the right place to post this. I mean, I looked up the subject in the internet and all lead me to sites that asks me to pay them for custom skins when you can just make one your own. Is there anyone out there with D Si casing outlines?

First get a knife. Then press it gently down on the D Si and scrape the knife over it as you would a potato (or maybe an apple if your one of those people). Soon it will have been utterly skinned, and probably not work anymore.

I can't help but feel I'm misreading what you're asking for.

If you can't find any DS(i) skins online or in swap meets or online (you know, places that sell cellphone accessories), I'm not sure what to tell you.

I just got a clear plastic case for my DS Lite and inserted my own Transformers pictures between the case and DS. No stickers = no adhesive residue if you want to change your "skin".

Mine is similar to this one.

Here's one for the DSi.

If you're talking about putting stickers on the 'inside' of the D Si(the panels holding the screens and buttons), I found a template here, but I can't vouch for it's accuracy as I don't have a D Si, only a DS Lite.

Could you clarify exactly what you're trying to do?
I can help more if I have more details.

I'm trying to put a vinyl sticker over the D Si's body. But I don't want to be a mess and I came here for tips and a guide, if possible. My target is the D Si's outside cover, for now.

BTW, thx for the links. I found a bunch of templates I can use with the links you gave me.

Took me like forever: But Stage 1 of my project:

Here◊, here◊ and here◊.

The back will be a hell since it has multiple removable parts. I hope it won't take me 3 months....

Not bad at all. It looks very smooth and professional.

Thank you. I found a separate vinyl clear sticker that's A4 size. Cutting for the camera holes is a murder. In my own opinion it's amateur's work but it's a good start for me.

...this was important enough to be pinned?

Something seems to be wrong with the forum. As of this post, 20 other Video Game threads have been stickied that did NOT need to be. The same is happening to the On-Topic, it would seem. All sorts of squicky stuff getting sticked over there.

As for topic, I remember getting my DS lite lasered with a Magmar on it, and that I've seen covers for D Si's at game stores at least a few times at stores.
