PSP Vinyl "Skins" (Adhesive Covers)

Post by mobiusclimber »

For awhile now I've been wanting a lilac PSP. Purple is my favorite color, and I like the design on the back of the lilac PSPs. Only problem was, the lilac ones were/are a Hannah Montana bundle exclusive, so if you wanted one new, you had to buy the whole thing. Yeah, I was NOT going to go up to any register and buy that shit. But more to the point, I didn't want to spend the cash buying a new PSP when I already have one that I don't see myself getting rid of any time soon (it's got custom firmware on it, and since I'm too afraid to flash mod a nice new PSP, I'm stuck with that one for emulation). Nowadays, tho, the lilac PSP is impossible to find. It's more expensive used than it was new! I really don't think they sold that well when they were released so it's probably collector's kicking themselves for not buying em that are driving the price up now. Or just people like me.

A friend of mine suggested getting a vinyl decal "skin" instead. That led me to thinking about getting one w/ a design (since really, if I could afford it, I'd get a Star Ocean limited edition PSP that was exclusive to Japan). Sadly, after looking around, I've come to the conclusion that most of the ones for sale are either "no" or "hell no" for me. I did see some FF7 stuff, but it was all Advent Children based. And there were a few flower ones I liked, but not well enough to spend $10 on em. (Yes I'm a guy, why do you ask?) Anyway...

Does anyone know if there's a way to get a custom skin for a PSP? I'm not even sure exactly what I'd want, but a few ideas I had were:

1) Sephiroth walking through flames - cliche, but classic all the same.
2) Chobits - I want my own persocom, but, barring that, I'll settle for a PSP skin of Chi.
3) Malice Mizer "Beast of Blood" or butterfly - I used to have a cool desktop that had a black cross and a white background, but I can't seem to find the image anymore.

... Or something from Phantasy Star II, Tales of Symphonia, Ico, or any number of other games I'm in love with. So my question is: Does anyone know where/how I can get a custom PSP skin, and what should I get if I can get something like this?
I have a ton of games listed at my store's site: Super Smash Video Games
