Supplies Needed:
- Installation Instructions
- Nintendo DS Game Unit (turned off)
- Alcohol and Ammonia-Free Cleaner (or water)
- Lint-free cloth cotton rag
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
