White and gold variant of that triforce cover plate would have looked so good on a white system.

It's actually blue and black.

Kidding. I'm stil on the fence if I wanna buy that black triforce plate though. I realllllly wished they released the black one here.

Yup. Nintendo sent me the wrong faceplates.

Would anybody care to swap the Majora's Mask plates they sent, for the Troforce plates I actually ordered?!
Click to expand...

Exact same thing happened to me, got sent the Majora's Mask plates instead of the Triforce ones I ordered and now they're sold out of both :/

Ooh I like the idea - have you tried making a mockup of a giant Disk-kun that covers both top & bottom, like the Goomba & other character plates?
Click to expand...

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing a few alternate mockups with Disk-kun enlarged across both and a pattern of several of them across both.

Any suggestions on where to get the stickers printed and cut?

I was also considering laser etching and then filling it in with black model paint. I'm unsure if the plate is rigid enough to hold up against laser etching though.
 
Iiiiiiiit's here. Now I just need that one brown Kirby, Pikachu and Xenoblade Chronicles cover plates. THEN I am done. Damn you Nintendo. Stop taking all my money.
And maybe the glowing Boo one. |||OTL

Contemplating getting the pink charging cradle...

On one hand, it's pink. I'm a guy and I'm not sure how I feel about having something pink on my night stand.
On the other hand, I think it would compliment my black 3DS much better than the white or teal charging cradles.

Decisions!

If anyone has an image of a black 3DS in a pink or teal charging cradle, that would be awesome. I want to see what it looks like. I couldn't find anything on Google images...

black on teal is in this thread. one or two pages back.
 
Mail carrier came and went and still no faceplates. Tracking has not been updated either... This is starting to wear thin on my nerves and according to the USPS customer service, they can't launch an investigation until 5 days which is tomorrow...

This is why I prefer import sites like Nin-Nin, Play-Asia or Nippon Yasan because the option for FedEx is there and I have NEVER had any problem with FedEx getting my stuff delivered...
 
I actually don't think the Triforce plates are too amazing. They're nice enough but the wood plate is a lot better in my opinion.

Got these stickers from an eBay seller for $7 shipped and my daughter is really happy with them. I thought well if its shit then who cares but they are decalgirl quality as far as I can tell. Even going around the corners on the lid it warped down with some heat applied by heat gun.

Handed down 3ds is now new 3ds to her. I just need to find a case and slim covering for my new black n3ds xl
 
Since faceplates are not available in my small region (U.S.), they never really bothered me that I couldn't get them. Some were cool, but none blew me away, until I saw this one:

Kirby's always been a favorite of mine and there was something about this particular faceplate that I loved. The theme came out in the U.S. yesterday which was awesome, but I still wanted something more.

So, 1 trip to GameStop later, I picked up this: 3DS XL Clear Case

and made this:

It's not the best, but it's mine and I like it. just printed off the images and cut them to size. Now I can print off others and change them on a whim without buying a decal each time.

Basically an updated PSP playgear pocket for those that remember them.
 
I was a little bit dubious, but the black Triforce cover plates really do look great on the white console.

It is a bit of a fingerprint magnet though.
 
Is this shit amazing or what? I'm happy with how my snaps of it came out too.

Cute boo in the corner doesn't like getting his picture taken. :(

Has anyone in the UK seen a transparent hard case for the standard new 3DS? I've ended up scratching up my new triforce coverplates.....not happy these plates scratch waaaay too easy! I scratched the original ones within 5 mins of using the console.

Could you post some more close-up photos here? Particularly of the clips and such?
Click to expand...

I can take some more photos when the next print comes off the bed, but they are basically identical to the official ones (the clips are the same) except a little transparent until painted due to the type of plastic
 
Any pre-order news? Looks like amazonDE had the Kirby, Pikachu and Xenoblade coverplates up for pre-order earlier today but now they are out of stock and I missed out every single one <.< At least I found the Xenoblade one at another german retailer. Otherwise I have to try my luck by checking every single shop in my area. Some of them still sell both Zelda coverplates.
 
Replacement for the MM cover I got instead of the triforce one I ordered arrived.
Surprise surprise, another MM cover...

Holy crap, now that is some serious incompetence somewhere in that machinery either in the warehouse or the store team. First people getting up to four Skull Kids, now this plate fuck up...
 
My Zelda triforce plate arrived yesterday, looks glorious.

And the Monster Hunter ones went back up on EB Games Australia, ordered the white one.

Think I'll preorder the Kirby one too.

That'll make my plates:

1. Mario felt/suede
2. Triforce
3. Monster Hunter (white)
~
4. Xenoblade
5. Kirby

These things are addicting.
 
Yeah, this sucks. Ordered from another place for in store pick up. That would at least guarantee that I'm not walking out of there without the right cover plate.
And I ordered one of each too.


Edit: bought the coverplate.
 
So far I've got the two Ambassador plate sets, Wooden, Yoshi, Triforce and MM and Xenoblade pre-ordered.

I'd love to get the Kirby and Pikachu sets when the come out in the EU - does anywhere have them up for preorder?

I've got a few customs ideas for 3D printed plates too when we've got a gap in production :)

This is probably a dumb question but would it be possible to make completely clear transparent plates like this too? It would be awesome to have some and put custom paper printed designs inside :D

Not through 3D printing sadly, but Id be surprised if someone doesn't make clear ones in the future :)
 
NOA can't help, so I took things into my own hands.

Also have the Smash Bros' and the MH4 black cover plates. The Boo glow in the Dark and the Kirby plates are next on my list.

Ah alright I thought so but yeah hopefully :) Though if I could 3D print I would probably take hours and hours to design my own perfect custom plate and print it out like that anyway :D

So a friend of mine is selling this on Etsy, thought it may be a good idea to both help him and show you how awesome this is. It's a SNES decal for the New 3DS (the small one, but a XL version is coming in the future so stay tuned)

RT him if you can!
