Most laptop fans will have heard of GelaSkins, protective/decorative covers that can be stuck and unstuck to your favorite gadgets with extreme ease. Now GelaSkins has just announced that they'll begin selling DS and PSP cases as well. For $20 a pop, the covers aren't super cheap, but they really are well-printed with very rich colors. Also of note: PSP and DS GelaSkins include clear screen protectors and PSP versions include matchy-matchy seamless wallpaper. Oooooh! Fancy! More shots after the jump:

Interesting concept but what if you get sweaty hands? Do the stickers bleed off?
That first psp one looks badass
are these for PSP fat or Slim or Both
i dont even have a psp, but i want one now
Pretty nice. Is this for the PSP Lite as well? It just seems like they mention the PSP without specifying. Not sure if it makes a difference anyway
You didn't even post the princess peach skin. here:
[www.gelaskins.com]
The stickers are a kind of plastic/vinyl type of thing, so they don't bleed. I have one for my iPod and it's great. I got the Mario/Luigi "Rough Night Out" one before Nintendo stomped on them and made them discontinue it.
Pretty nice. I wouldn't mind picking one up for my laptop. I had no idea this company existed. Once again, thanks for the heads up Kotaku!
Haven't tried the gelaskin covers, but I recently covered all my consoles and handhelds in covers from decalgirl and have been very impressed with them so far.
I have gelaskins on my iPod. I can honestly say that these are the most well produced skins on the market. They use some new kind of 3M stick technology that not only provides for "non-slip" as the first poster worried about, but also provides for infinite re-usability. You can replace the skins anytime and keep the old ones for use again later on. These skins are fantastic. I will be adding one to my PSP for sure!
Wow I usually hate skins for things like this but that robot psp one is great. Anyone bought this brand? Are they as nice as they look or will it look like ass in real life?
VERY cool! I've got a gelaskin cover for my iPod Nano, it fits like a glove, and looks super sexy. People ask me all the time what kind of MP3 player I have since it's so sexy they don't even recognize it as an iPod. :)
The stickers are thick, cut to VERY exact size, and have a surface that is tacky to the touch, so they're harder to slip in sweaty hands. Gelaskins also come with clear stickers to cover your screen as well, which is a godsend to save your portable from getting scratched by keys and change!
...It won't peel or rub off, but the stickers maintain their stickyness if you remove them, and could possibly be reused if you are careful with them.
Wow, these things look hella cool. Very impressive.
Holy crap Flying Spaghetti Monster!? That is amazing.
Well, I WOULD get one, if they weren't only for DS Lite. :/
...they're awesome. Does anyone know any quality skins for "DS Phat", the original one?
coolness will be getting both portables . that first psp one is badass.
I've been thinking about getting a psp lately, too. I seriously want that first one, too...
On a side note, anyone have any favorite psp games? I have a small list, but I'm open to suggestions.
does look cool, but just in theory, putting sticky objects and stuff on my psp does not appeal.
i am tempted in this case, because the added wallpaper makes it look so rad!
...i like the original black look too much though.. i think.
sooo sexy! I hope to get one for my psp.
i already pimped my ds. gave it a few jewels, jewel stickers, and a matching dangly charm.
I got these for a Nano years ago -- actually it was an anniversary present for my GF. She said all she wanted was a kiss. I got her this one, Klimt's The Kiss. She was surprised and happy.
/somewhat tender story about xgf
Great quality, great color, highly recommended. Just wish the DS ones looked better.
that is sweet, I may actually spring for one of those for my PSP
@Tzibo: There's some here:
[www.decalgirl.com]
it looks awesome, I just ordered one for my psp.
what no 360/ps3 love?
@topgeargorilla: That's on my laptop right now :)
Exploding dog?! Holy hell in a handbasket!
That tree skin... brutal... should get me one of those.
Oh, cool! Explodingdog!
@PresDNA: The placement for the speakers makes me want to say they're for the PSP fat, but chances are they'll have some for the slim too.
I hope. I'm digging the seamless background/skin thing... it's very feng shui ;P
my friends have their laptop skins and they are gorgeous...good well-made stuff
. . . They have skins made with artwork by Aya Kato: [www.geocities.jp] Awesome.
[www.gelaskins.com]
yeah that's what I got for my psp. one of the skin by aya kato
Niiiice. If I pick up a PSP in the future, I'll get this. I've already covered up my DS lite and iPod Nano with invisible shields.
Dangit, now that I'm browsing the site, I must spend money on one of these for my DS :/
Yes, they're awesome but imagine the pain of trying to get them on straight.
Review about how these things are not too hot:

Also look at the comments and another user complains about image quality.
Have fun ruining the near-perfect, natural good-looks of your DS/PSP with some shitty stickers.
aw man they dont have decals for psp slim :( hopefully they revise thier collection soon. in the meantime im gonna pimp out my macbook pro, and iphone. :D
@sandwiches: wow ur a buzzkill
ATTENTION RETARDS AND THOSE WITH POOR READING SKILLZ: THESE ARE NOT STICKERS!
They are vinyl that adheres to a surface. Basically, Fatheads for your electronics.
I think they're very cool. I plan on picking up a Kratos psp, so I won't need one. Does anybody have a solid date for when those are coming out? I can't seem to find a date except for "June". That's getting close and isn't very specific.
@AverageJoes: im sure gamestop will be all over that for release dates. but of course it will be widely available, for those who hate the so called evil empire that is EB. :P
They look like they only fit the PSP fatty. I just e-mailed them. These are gorgeous!

Immediately after reading this post I purchased one. The art on the skins looks amazing! Thanks Kotaku for helping me pimp my PSP.
it's nice for them to include the matching wallpaper. but i wonder how they will...
I ordered Fuzin Raizin for my PSP. Already shipped, but I'm confused, how will I get my wallpaper? They sending a CD with it or something?
