Reader Discussion – Do You Put Skins On Your Consoles?
With the recent news that vinyl skins can damage the Switch Joy-Cons and console (those that aren't officially licensed by Nintendo, anyway), I've been wondering an important question: how popular is the act of putting a skin on a console?
I did it a couple of times, as a kid. I put sticks all over my Game Boy Color, and even put some on the Mario Kart DS I had, which came with stickers. Bu I don't think I've ever put a whole skin on a console to make it look like it was a special edition or something. I'm a pretty big fan of leaving the unit alone: I don't even have a case for my iPhone (hasn't broken yet after two years, either!). But it looks like these skins are still big business. So have you ever peeled one on your console or portable?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
