playvital Full Set Protective Skin Decal for Steam Deck LCD, Custom Stickers Vinyl Cover for Steam Deck OLED - Black Watercolor Marble

Overall I'm happy with the skin and it's price. The pack includes two sets of skins and it was reassuring to know that there was a back up, should the installation gone bad. I found it easy to reposition the skin when it gone on wonky around buttons. I had two minor issues. The narrow bands at the top and bottom of the bezel need lots of attention with the hair dryer, they just don't stick super well due to the curve. The second issue, is the small curve next to the grips, I couldn't resolve a tiny crease. Thankfully, both problematic areas are almost fully covered by a hard cover, so the skin looks almost perfectly applied The pattern is flipped on the back, which means that it looks mismatched. Colours at the front don't match the back, which is mildly annoying. To conclude, it's a pretty good skin, if you don't mind taking it slow with the application, and mismatched front and back patterns.

Takes a bit of skill to apply and would recommend using the hair dryer to get it fully stuck down. Also, bits around the screen will come off if you don’t store it in a case.

The Steam Deck is the best device I have bought for 2022, but this review is not about the Steam Deck, but I like it so much that I have kitted out the Deck with a number of accessories. One of which is this skin for it. The seller provides many different style of skins for the Deck, for me, this colourful one looks the best in my opinion. The surprise (as many have said) is that this comes with 2 skins. I have only needed to use 1 and spent a nice 30 minutes to apply this carefully with a credit card (to smooth the bubbles out) and made sure the holes align properly with the Deck. There is a textured surface which gives the Deck a nicer feel which it also covers the touchpads to make the front look consistent with the rest of the body. Note, that the skin does not affect the touchpads at all. Some have made comments about some part of the skin has started peeling, there are certain parts that have started, but these are those folded parts where there are little adhesion to the Deck, e.g. the top and bottom of the screen. I simply use the hair dryer and the credit card to push them down again. They are not visibly or peeling bad, I just have OCD to make sure it is as smooth as possible. I have bought a body case for the Deck anyway, this provides and additional protection AND to prevent the skin sides from catching, which would cause the peeling problem more prominent. I would say this is a really good value skin for the Deck, I have looked at other brands like EasySkinz, etc, but they don't have as many designs and much more expensive. If you have time on hand and have patience to do this properly, your Steam Deck would look amazing after it is done (as shown in my pictures).

Very happy with this skin. It’s the first time I applied a skin to anything and it was very easy to do. The skin adhered very well to the Steam Deck but was also easy to pull up if I wanted to adjust it. The price was also great considering you’re given 2 of the skin in the pack in case something goes wrong. The skin fits perfectly, I specifically got this one because I didn’t want to cover the grips at the sides and I love how it looks.

I picked this up for my son's Steam Deck. I can't help but compare it to the Dbrand skin I've applied to my own Steam Deck. The quality difference is apparent. This one feels more like a sticker than a skin. It does the job and is nice and colourful. It will protect from a few knocks here and there and make the deck stand out. I would say it is not pleasant to install however. The "cutouts" need to be punched out before application. By far the worst area for this is the speaker grill on both sides which require you to punch out tiny pieces that inevitably stick to the rear adhesive as you do so. If you take your time it is doable but it is fiddly and unnecessary. I think if I was choosing again I'd probably shell out for the more premium option as it is not that much more pricey, installs easier and looks better.

Resolution of skin was both pixelated and blurry. Eye-catchingly bad. Other reviews discuss the skins inability to fit LCD models and sticking/peeling issues. I cannot speak to this as it didn't make it out of the packaging. As a budget option, it's not worth it if it looks poor quality and doesn't fit. Returned for refund without opening packaging. Love the idea and style, but the quality isn't there.

Beautiful print quality, the wrap itself is done on quite a thick material so no risk of it tearing as you peal it off. I’ve got one tiny crease on the top front left that I can’t seem to get rid of (but it’s tiny). Otherwise, patience and just a hairdryer for 30 seconds or so around the screen edge to help stick and all is good. Love that you get 2 sets if you do mess it up. This was my first time applying something like this and I’m super happy with it. Love that it fits the Oled Deck too, well done Valve and PlayVital :)

Despite the product description saying it fits the original Steam Deck as well as the OLED model, when I tried to apply it to my original (ie not OLED/"new") Steam Deck, the decal blocked both the back plate screws AND the SD card slot from use as they did not line up like they should have. It's a shame because the QUALITY of the decal is fantastic, it just seems you're out of luck if you have an og Deck and not an OLED because the cutouts do not line up properly. Sadly had to remove it from my Deck as I need to be able to access the SD card slot in particular and not being able to access the screws on the backplate would block any future repair attempts if I need to replace parts.

Great!

I received two sets of skins, for front skins, all of the sets are empty. And the back skins, the one has its skin. The package are open when I received it. I know this are not enough evidence to prove my claims, but I will not return the item, review in this item and use my full name if I just made it up.

Sticker is poorly cut, leaving all unnecessary pieces still partially attached. Spent 40 minutes poking out little vent stickers. Also they expect you to take a hot air gun to your expensive new console to make the stickers stay properly. Refused to do that, threw in garbage after I saw how poorly everything lined up after all the struggle. DO NOT BUY

Super produit facile à coller de bonne qualité.

Great! Looks awesome
