Yeah, check my photo thread. I got the prototype and it fits nicely. Have to make one small tweak and then take a look at the 2nd proto and then they'll be good to go!
FYI, I just watched a brand new Nintendo brand replacement go for 50+ on eBay last month. That's what really made me wanna find another solution.

I saw your work, wiggy. I'd love to get a faceplate that's absolutely blank, clear. something I can slip my own custom-printed artwork behind and switch out easily. Nextwave sold something similar in Australia only, only at a certain shop, and only if you could hum Nirvana's "smells like teen spirit" while hopping on one leg and not spilling the glass of goat milk yo're holding on the tip of your nose.

The only real downside is that they aren't easily removed, and once they are, they may not go back on as nicely since the adhesive will have been disturbed. But who wants to take off their totally custom faceplate anyway, right? You gonna put the ladybug plate back on to evoke your feminine side and impress that new gamer girl that you met las week? Don't worry about it, she thinks ladybugs are lame and would way rather see your custom Final Fantasy micro anyway ;)
