Has anyone put stickers on theirs? I want to know if the temperature of the Deck ruins them, or if the carrying case's materials can handle stickers without ruining both.

I've had a sticker (bought on aliexpress so nothing of quality) on my deck for a bit more than a year and there seem to be no problems, regarding the carrying case I imagine stickers don't stick very much there but I've never tried

I don't think I could... I don't even totally want to put a skin on it lol.

But I like the photos everyone has shared! Please keep sharing :D

I went on a trip with some friends that also had decks so I put a sticker on mine to recognize it

I just got BOTW running on my deck today, and I'm now considering getting the same sticker

[–] freakrho@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

It came in this pack, don't quite remember where I bought it, I think it was a store in madrid

As long as you don't cover the vents, you should be fine

This. Heck I have one of those vinyl skins on my Deck and it has cutouts for the vents. I have never had issues with overheating

I've got several stickers on the back of my deck. The "I Voted" sticker has worn down pretty hard, but I suspect that the sticker quality on that one isn't so high. My other stickers are going strong, and the deck hasn't noticed any problems

I have the dbrand skins on both of my decks (a buddy from work sold me his 512 for cheap). That seem to be just fine for the wear/heat.

I also threw some vendor stickers on the dbrand carrying case, but just the hard plastic cover, so heat isn't really a concern.

I almost thought you meant skins till I saw the other comment.

I put an Apple sticker on mine. It’s held up well to humidity and heat. Don’t know about the case though
