One other small attention to detail is the top part on the front side of the skin has these little, tiny cutouts so that the Deck’s microphones aren’t covered. I also appreciate the fact that there’s holes on the back side of the skin where the screws go this means you can still take apart the Deck without having to remove the skin. Nice attention to detail, in harmony with the colors in the Portal series. The rest of his body appears on the right side of the right trackpad, and this time the stickman is blue. A small element that I found interesting is the orange stickman on the left side of the left trackpad. I really like the design of the skin too. My fingers don’t really pick up the creases or the bubbles, albeit for the grips. Despite the amount of times I’ve tried heating the skin up with a hair dryer, I just could not get rid of either the bubbles or the creases. There’s also a few creases in every corner on the front, and I couldn’t get the skin to move enough so that the entire Steam button was uncovered. As you’ll notice there’s quite a few bubbles on the back towards the upper-left corner, and creases by the screwholes on the bottom left and right. But for those of who have OCD, these pictures may be a bit of an eyesore (just ask Liam from GamingOnLinux for his opinion). Not that I’m complaining at how it came out for the most part it looks pretty decent to me. Mind you, putting any skin on the Deck is a very tricky process, and if I followed his instructions more carefully, I would probably have a better result. Since I tend to be a bit more on the impatient side, I just tried to apply the skin without putting half of it on the paper first (video here). What’s nice is there’s actually a QR code on the paper on the front side of the skin that you can scan to see this video. Moskeeto Designs has a video on how to apply the skin. Not that I expect it to though this skin is pretty strong. A few months down the road I may experience issues with the skin, such as it gradually peeling off. Keep in mind I’ve only been using this skin since I got it on Thursday. I’m doing a giveaway on the Half-Life and Cyberpunk 2077 skins you can find more details later on in this review. Later on I may try the Space Commander skin. In this article though I will mostly be focusing on the Portal skin. Turns out he sent me all four of his skins (for some reason he’s not selling the Minecraft skin anymore it has since been replaced with the Space Commander skin)! What a nice guy. I really liked the Portal-themed skin that he has, so I got in touch and asked if he would send it over for review. Come to find out he got the skin from Moskeeto Designs. A few months back Gardiner Bryant showed off the Half-Life vinyl wrap that he got for his Steam Deck.
