These are pretty cool.
Stickable photo paper that you print your design on. Stick it to the Game Boy and then place the clear screen cover over it.
I ran mine through a regular printer since it's all I had so it is a little smeared. But it looks pretty decent!
You have to put clear cover on like a cell phone screen protector to avoid bubbles which I also did not do.
I just found some generic patterns to test out.
Pretty neat!
These should be out soon as far as I know!

Well the examples are horrible but yeah it could be cool with other design.

Yes, I agree! I just don't have the right printer to do this. I could cut them to 4x6 or 5x7 and use the photo tray but that involves some measurement.

I don't. You should mention this to Kitsch and I'm sure he will make a template to simplify printing.

I hope there is a template! Would make it so much easier to add text and whatnot.

yes, there will be a template 
thats actually my main hold up. i had one made, but it doesn't print out just the same on other printers. i need to find a pretty universal solution.
but, yes there will be one when these are released...
glad you all enjoy! those patterns you printed are perfectly kitschy sir...

Maybe the template can be an SVG file, then you can print through Inkscape or export to bitmap at any resolution you like.

Perhaps a template.psd just sayin

Just a thought but maybe you could have fancy templates, and then you can have a basic .doc or .rtf or .pdf of outlines of the proper sizes in rows and columns within a regular 8.5"x11" sheet so some people could even hand draw their screen covers.

i have the dimesnional drawing for the template all done, have for a while, which would be a solution then people could create whatever they wanted based on this.
maybe thats what i should do... the attempts i've done don't translate to other printers, its all very annoying.
besides, the clear screens haven't arrived yet, so i've still got a little time to work with...
