It didn't take long after the Nintendo Switch announcement for people to notice the potential for customisation. And these from redditor DEAD_GIVEAWAY are just beautiful.

DEAD_GIVEAWAY posted a few initial designs shortly after the console was revealed. Loads of people requested more, and so they've kindly obliged with a huge mix of games and designs.

Image 1 of 13

I don't think there's a duff one in there, and while none of these are official you can clearly see the potential. DEAD_GIVEAWAY has said that he's contacted Nintendo and that "even if I just get a response acknowledging the designs that would be awesome!"
