Custom or DIY Nintendo switch skins

August 13, 2021 3:14 PM

How can I either make or order some custom skins for my Nintendo switch?

I’m a musician and I want custom skins for my Nintendo switch with my album art on them. Is there any person or service out there that will do this for me?

Just FYI there were reports of people having their Switches damaged from skins that had dubious glue.

As far as I know the company DBrand are the only manufacturer of skins who guarantee that the switch won't be damaged should you choose to remove the skin.

You can contact them to see if they'll do a one off custom design, but it might be pricey.

You can get templates for printing your own on Etsy; knowing what to print them on is beyond my expertise, but it sounds like it's just vinyl, which you then glue onto the Switch?

Just coming in to note, I got a vinyl skin for my Switch and it peeled off within a week, especially around the curves and edges. For a thing that recieves such high wear, skins don't last too long.
