Nintendo Wii Skins
The Nintendo Wii is the top selling next generation console right now and for good reason. It's not the most powerful but it sure is the most innovative. Peripherals like the Wiimote and Nunchuk make the Wii stand out from crowd. And while all these things are great they missed out on one important option. There's no customization of the cover or case. That plain white design just doesn't do it for me. So I did some research online and discovered the world of video game console skins.
What You'll Need
For this guide you will need:1. Rubbing alcohol
2. A wet damp rag or paper towel
3. Some common sense
Step 1: Clean The Case
The first step is to clean the case of your Wii so make sure you have the required materials. Be sure you get everywhere including the top, bottom, and faceplate. Doing this makes sure there is no dust on the case so your new wii skin won't peel later on. Make sure you get around the holes like the DVD slot and memory card slots. Step 2: Apply The Skin
Your Wii skin should have come in three distinct pieces: the faceplate, the top, and the bottom. We're going to start with the top. Remove the skin from the paper backing and replace the backing so you leave a slight edge. Now we can make sure the edge lines up correctly. Take your time with this step you don't want to have to keep peeling it off if you don't align it right the first time. Next, apply some pressure and seal the edge off. Fold the skin back and removing the backing and smooth it down over the top. Repeat the above steps for the bottom. When you get to the faceplate make sure you smooth down the edges right around the holes in the decal. And that's it, Congratulations you have a stylish new Wii that you can show off to all your friends. Flickr pics of the finished product
