Many of you own multiple electronic devices and you already know that there are numerous customizations available. If you’re reading this, you probably have your own Nintendo DS or DS Lite or maybe even the new DSi already and you know how boring and plain the default scheme is. Well the best way you can change that boring old look is to get a Nintendo DS, DSi, or DS Lite skin. Remember they don’t just give your handheld a great new design, they also share some amount of your personality that tells people who you are today.
Nintendo DS Skins
Nintendo DS skins, or vinyl decals, allow you show off your favorite game, character, or just give your DS a unique look while also protecting your handheld console from dust and skin oils. These protective skins aren’t just for the outside of the DS either. You can also skin the D-pad and around the display screen too. Remember skins are specially designed to stand the test of time. Your Nintendo DS handheld console takes more abuse then you might realize. Luckily, there are custom skins for Nintendo DS available that will keep them from getting scratched beyond repair and they also protect from smudges and smears.
These skins for DS are very cost effective. What I mean by that is they actually extend the life of your handheld console for very little money. It is a lot cheaper then having to go buy a brand new DS because yours got all scratched up. Most decals go for around $20 which really isn’t all that bad.
You can get all types of skins if you’re willing to search around. Everything from Hannah Montana Nintendo DS skins to Pokemon Nintendo DS skins to completely custom skins. Really the sky’s the limit when it comes to these things.
Your average skin for Nintendo DS Lite will last around 6-7 months give or take. It all depends on how much you use it and how well you treat your console skins. If you ever decide to remove your decals, you can easily remove your skin since it wont leave any sticky mess behind. If you go with a higher quality skin though, they can last for several years.
If you decide that you want to go with skin for your Nintendo DS (and why wouldn’t you?), you can find them at stores all over the world. Many local gaming stores have custom skins readily available and on display if you can find the right shop. Also there are many online based businesses that sell skins for DS. Skinit and Decalgirl are two such examples.
Overall, DS skins are a great way to not just enhance your handheld’s look but also protect your expensive toy. Your console can take quite a beating just in a single day, and Nintendo DS Lite skins can help to keep them good as the day you bought it.
