Matt_Renato Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Nice! That game case reminds me of the Japanese Game Cube cases, but without the cardboard sleeves.

Arthur Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 WARNING: Do *not* skin your Nintendo Switch! Simply put, the coating which exists on the JoyCons (and the console – more on that later) is either cured or designed in a way which doesn’t play well with adhesive. We received the Switch about 96 hours ago and immediately began prototyping. After a couple of prototypes, we saw minor indications of the outer coating beginning to peel off. Nintendo advised that the device we had in-hand was not the final build, although we assumed that pertained more to the software than the hardware. We continued prototyping and after about 24 hours of applying and removing prototypes, the JoyCons looked like this - image link. At this point, we hit pause on the JoyCons and continued onto the console. We decided to reserve judgement on whether the JoyCons could be skinned until we purchased a normal unit, like humans do, on release day from a physical retail location. If we found that a retail unit had similar peeling issues, a fact we can now confirm to be true, we would not release skins for the JoyCons. Unfortunately, our prototyping phase with the pre-release console had another (albeit different) issue with vinyl skin incompatibility. If you look at the back of the Switch, you’ll see that the Nintendo Switch logo and regulatory markings are all screen-printed in a light gray. This screen-printing (or pad-printing) process is also cured in a way which peels off with the adhesive on vinyl wraps. To get a clear understanding of what we mean, take a look at this photo - image link of the back of the console. Again, we decided to reserve judgement on whether the Console would be skin-able until we purchased a retail unit to compare against the potentially non-final early unit which we were prototyping with. As you can guess, we purchased a retail unit (ten, in fact… just to make sure it wasn’t an isolated issue) and both the JoyCons and the Console are not compatible with vinyl wraps or any adhesive-backed skin of any kind.
Garacesh Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Massive props to dbrand for this. I've never bought any of their products - personally I reckon vinyl skins just look tacky - but I can appreciate why others would like them. They could've just gone full caveat emptor on this, stuck a little disclaimer up and let you buy them anyway, but they've refunded everyone that pre-ordered.
Arthur Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Massive props to dbrand for this. +1. Slickwraps on the other-hand... www.slickwraps.com/devices/gaming/nintendo/nintendo-switch.html ^ No warnings whatsoever on their website. XtremeSkins have just deleted their Nintendo Switch skin pages. www.xtremeskins.co.uk/pages/nintendo-skins I reckon vinyl skins just look tacky I think the only reason I would buy a skin for a console is it if came with a horrible shiny finish like the old piano black PS3. That was a fingerprint, dust and scratch magnet. Nintendo's Switch console looks great without a skin. Edited March 5, 2017 by Arthur
localzuk Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I doubt this thing is going to be the saviour of Nintendo. The lack of release day games is a major issue really, and the build quality, as mentioned by a variety of reviewers, seems cheap. It seems like it may be Nintendo's last hurrah before giving up hardware IMO.
DJ-1701 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Word to the wise... a YouTuber by the name of 'Blunty' has already had his Switch scratched, just by connecting and disconnecting it to the dock a few times. He strongly suggests getting a screen protector as soon as possible.

Small numbers of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens. These are normal and should not be considered a defect. 1

I really hate comments like that... no it's build quality, it is a defect, don't try and fob it off as normal. 1
