Default Zune skins?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to print out custom Zune skins? I know sites like DecalGirl have vinyl ones but those are only customizable to a point and not very economical if you're someone who has a habit of wanting to change skins as the mood suits you.

Does anyone know of something like the iPod tattoos HP put out a while back that would work for Zune?

Or, if one has to be inventive do you know if getting a template off the DecalGirl site and then printing the skin out on full-page sticker paper (like an 8x11 mailing label) would work and not leave behind any residue (or if it did do you think it'd be easy to clean off with a bit of diluted rubbing alcohol?)

And I know a big issue with vinyl skins is that if you drop it you're screwed, just toss it in a hard clear case and you have pretty + protection (not like the Zune isn't a tank compared to the iPod or Zens).

I wouldn't recommend sticker paper. Not really a good idea.

I wasn't too keen on the idea myself, but I know that you can buy clear plastic 8x11 mailing labels and that they, not being paper, might come off the zone easier than a paper sticker. Less chance to rip or separate and leave behind a papery residue.

Default Customizable Skins for Zune Shell

Hey - there is a website: skinit.com that sells skins for Zunes (and everything else). They have a TON of skins to choose from, but you can also upload your OWN photos to create your own skin! You can actually do two photos (one for front, one for back).

You can't use copyrighted material, so it would have to be your own photograph or your own original artwork/graphic design. You can't, for example, use pictures from your favorite movie or anything.

Also, if you use the coupon code "intel30" you get 30% off your order!!! Not sure how long it will last, but I just used it tonight.

the 2g nano is the same size as the Zune8, i'd think at least the back part is the same size?

No, they won't work. Skins are specifically made for a player.

You know those Altoids Tin cases? I did a Zune Case with it, for the 8gb Zune, even though it was a bit too long to fit, just tilted the tin a bit. I also made a ... Zune Sock homemade rofl...

here is a site I found. And I'm going to get one for my zune 30 from them, I like the fact that they will let you upload your own photos and use them for the same price.
