How to find the right PlayStation 3 Skins AI guide

What the AI looks for in PlayStation 3 Skins
- Revision-specific cut
- The skin must name your series: original, Slim or Super Slim Precut openings only line up with the vents, ports and buttons of the revision they were cut for.
- Adhesive type
- Look for a removable adhesive with air-release channels Air-release channels stop bubbles during fitting, and a removable adhesive comes off without leaving residue on the gloss plastic.
- Vent cutouts
- Every vent area must be cut out, not covered Vinyl over a grille traps heat.
- Coverage set
- Check whether controller skins for the DualShock 3 are included Bundles vary, and matching controller skins are often sold separately.
Brands that matter
- Skinit: Licensed artwork skins cut to specific console models.
- DecalGirl: Precut vinyl skins sold per console revision.
What to avoid
- Skins with no listed model series
- Cheap vinyl with no air-release channels, which bubbles
- Applying a skin over dust or oils, since it will lift at the edges
Questions
Will a Slim skin fit a Super Slim?
No. The Super Slim (CECH-4xxx) has a different shape and a sliding disc cover, so it needs its own skin.
