Assembling the Wooden Nintendo Switch Skin
Added 2017-07-16 14:03:54 +0000 UTCToast sent me a Switch wrap made from real walnut, so let's put it together and see if it's worth doing yourself! EDIT: added a new outro showing the removal.

A real shame it feels (even more) uncomfortable with the skin on, at least it looks and works okay on the docking station.

2017-07-21 20:34:39 +0000 UTCYeah, the diminished functionality is a real deal-breaker if nothing else

2017-07-21 03:57:52 +0000 UTCI would too if it wasn't so uncomfortable! Keeping it on the dock though, since I don't have to touch it

2017-07-21 03:57:38 +0000 UTCI can see what they were trying, and yes, it does look aesthetically pleasing… but the impact it has on the controllability… I don't think it's worth it in practice.

2017-07-18 09:05:59 +0000 UTCDang it, I'd probably leave that on there forever. I love modern/retro stuff. :)
2017-07-17 21:13:57 +0000 UTCWow cool vid!!! I am loving my Switch as is, so I am not going to put any skins on it :D IT is the Neon one so it looks pretty awesome already!

2017-07-17 01:55:31 +0000 UTCYeah I'm keeping it on my dock!

2017-07-16 21:41:32 +0000 UTCFixed it, thanks!

2017-07-16 21:41:22 +0000 UTCAgreed. Although, I'm not sure the issues even *can* be resolved with the kind of wood they're using
LGR
2017-07-16 21:41:17 +0000 UTCYou know it!
LGR
2017-07-16 21:40:58 +0000 UTCThankfully not, although I only had it on 24 hours
LGR
2017-07-16 21:40:53 +0000 UTCQuite simple! Added a new section to the video showing that
LGR
2017-07-16 21:40:46 +0000 UTCDid it come off without wrecking the surface of the Switch?

2017-07-16 20:59:10 +0000 UTCThe true question is how difficult was it to remove it afterwards?

2017-07-16 18:09:07 +0000 UTCHaha, if there is woodgrain for it, you will add it

2017-07-16 16:35:50 +0000 UTCCool concept, but I feel like it needed a little more R&D before selling it.

2017-07-16 15:43:53 +0000 UTCA neat concept... In concept. Btw Clint, I just took a look at their site (I don't know when you recorded this), and the price for the Switch AND the dock is $59.00 USD. Not $39.99 as you stated in this video :o
2017-07-16 15:22:37 +0000 UTCLove the look (minus the mismatched grains), but I probably wouldn't end up running it on the controller itself either. I think I'd keep it on the dock, though!
2017-07-16 15:03:23 +0000 UTCTotally, it doesn't make much of any sense with a handheld, dockable system like the Switch. I think it'd be great for the PS4 or a PC though!
LGR
2017-07-16 14:54:20 +0000 UTCI hate how the grains don't match up, snug fit in the dock, don't think I'd like the feel of the wood against my hands while playing with it either.. Cool idea but sadly doesn't look like it panned out. D-Brand do some cool stuff.. Wish they'd make something for my Alienware 15R3. Preferably removable.
2017-07-16 14:48:14 +0000 UTCYep, I've already taken it off the Switch itself, haha. I'd be happy if it was a thin skin, but being wood with some thickness just doesn't make practical sense in this case.
