DS Skin Installation

Supplies Needed:

Installation Steps:

Clean the DS with a clean lint-free cotton cloth and water or ammonia-free glass cleaner by putting a small amount of cleaner on the cloth then wiping down the DS. Once the unit is dry and free of any contaminants or dust, you're ready to start.
The exact order of the installation is personal preference, although starting with the smaller pieces may help you familiarize yourself with the process. Before starting, visually inspect your skin to familiarize yourself with the pieces so you know which goes where. Then, one by one, peel the skin pieces from the backing paper and apply them to the DS.

Tips:

When applying the larger pieces (the area around the screen or the top of the unit), it's helpful to start in the center then work your way outwards towards the edges. Remember that you can always peel it back and reapply it if needed. Any minor air bubbles, pockets or wrinkles can simply be pushed out with your fingertip.
The pieces that go by the thumb-pad and buttons should have even spacing around those controls when applied properly. Take your time when installing those as they're the most difficult pieces.
Your new DS skin can be cleaned with a wet cloth at any time and is unaffected by most cleaners
