Best DS Skin?

[stewie75]

My friends kid took a marker to her DS Lite, and so we'd like to find a skin that'll cover the entire DS, aside from buttons and the screen, obviously. Most skins I see only cover bits and pieces of the system, but we'd like something that'll cover it completely.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Decalgirl.com skins are the only skins I use. They don't cover the sides though, but they cover everything else and there are plenty of designs to pick from. Your only other option that I know of is to get one of the slip on silicone cases that cover the entire system...they can easily be found on ebay for around $5-$10 shipped.

thanks for the help, silicone case it is.

Grab an erasable whiteboard marker, and scrawl over top of the permanent marker--make sure you cover the permanent marker completely. The xylene in the whiteboard marker will breakdown the permanent marker ink so that you can then erase it.

There are other methods outlined here:

... but I prefer just using the whiteboard marker method as it is dry, and less abrasive. I often use this method to remove names written on used discs that I pick up at Gamestop.

Whoa never knew that was possible. I should try that on old cartridges I've been picking up. Thanks for bringing this topic back up.

Yeah -- I bought a game at Gamestop, I don't remember which, but it was rare, and a Gamecube game, so I had to take the one with permanent marker on it. I hate buying used games, but I was a PS2 guy while the Cube was out, and I have been playing catch-up. Anyhow, I researched it, and that was what I found.

Now, if the surface is slick, things usually go as planned, but if a surface is rough, like a printed CD label, you don't always get 100% performance. But, for the most part it works.
