blachole Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 So I decided to skin my 360 which for me isn't normal because I normally like to leave my systems in the condition I get them because I feel they're is no need to skin, but it was an impulse buy. I wanted the E3 05 faceplate, but there was no way I was paying the $150.00 it was going for on eBay, so I decided to choose this style which looked just like the faceplate given out at E3. The install was a bit tricky on the faceplate part, but once you got it lines up it was quite simple and stuck to the system well. Here are some pictures: Was definitly worth the $19.99. You can get this style and more at www.360covers.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myNando Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 LOL! I just went back to an old thread about these types of covers. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=470346 In it, I wrote: Even though these skins look cool, I wouldn't get them for my 360. I like my console nice and clean. But that was when my room was painted white. My room is now painted navy & gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylejn Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I have the same E3 2005 type skin, except I only did the faceplate. Pretty sweet, if you ask me. 9 times out of 10, those skins look like crap, but the one that I got was pretty good looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted September 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 1, 2006 Nice work blachole, looks great! Just before E305 I was planning to buy the green rings faceplate, then it was announced at E3 it was limited edition etc :p gutted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I like that retro NES look. Might have to get that. Blachole, are these pretty easy to put on and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blachole Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 I like that retro NES look. Might have to get that. Blachole, are these pretty easy to put on and such? Eh, if you have worked with vynil before then no, but it takes some toying with to get it just right. It took me about 15-20 mins to perfect, but I think I did a pretty good job. If I were to do it again though, I'd start with the faceplate and then do the top and bottom to make sure it all lines up. As you can see some of my "rings" don't line up perfectly, but it's barely noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spenser.d Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Those are cool, but unfortunately a lot of them won't work so well with the Core 360 (white DVD drive - images just ending into white space won't look nearly as good as when they run up against chrome). -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightIdea Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I just replaced mine with a black case, no stickies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted February 22, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2007 are these just stickers? if so thats not worth it IMO. Say you got the top, bottom and face plate, and were the actual hard plastic, i would be all for it, especially if they had a solid black one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlusher Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I saw one 360 in black case with "X" on top where you can see through...It looked real good! I probably will go for that black case when my warranty expires. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
