Screen Surround

[Spleen21]

Did you end up getting any made up with glass? Or just acrylic?

Also, I was thinking about a square one as well rather than cover the bottom right hand corner off my fancy vga screen. Can you offer more square ones with the graphics attached also?

Thanks

Yes I can make a square decal, pm me with your design. I have ditched the glass for now, as although the glass is toughened, I managed to break one just by putting it away in a box. I don't know how it broke but after the effort of applying the sticker, I was pretty fed up.

if anyone is interested in what makes these surrounds, here is how I make them.
First, the clear vinyl is reverse printed with the design:

Then this is covered in white vinyl and then it is prescision cut.
So then the printed sticker is removed from the backing paper and taped to the cutting board:

It is sprayed with some water containging a small amount of dish soap. This is to remove any air bubbles.
I then place my template over the decal and check the positioning with a eye glass:

The center part of the sticker is left in at this point, I have found that the decal can move around if it is taken out.
So then the acrylic is placed on the decal:

The center section is removed:

And there you go, a finished screen:

Wow Dominator, Thanks for sharing your process. Didn't realize so much effort and precision went into these.

Thanks,
I now have the alignment and size nailed, though the person who does the laser cutting is a bit slow.

If anyone who has contacted me for a screen and hasn't heard from me lately, please pm or email me. What with everything going on in my personal life, I have lost track of some orders

Hey Dom, just received my screen protector and RetroPie decal from you this morning. Just wanted to say thanks and awesome quality. Keep up the good work!

I would certainly like to buy one if one is available!

Hi Dom,

I would like to buy one of the original colour ones with GameBoy Zero on it as shown above, if possible!

[edit: found it already on your website, will order there!]

Where can i buy one ?

@dominator out of curiousity, any chance of printing the design on a type of sticker / adhesive paper, so that the back along the design can be peeled off, and then just stuck onto the gameboy?
