ABSTRACT:
A system by which interchangeable covers are provided for video game consoles and controllers to provide a wide variety of appearances is disclosed. It is envisioned that the system would be customized to work with popular video game consoles. To change the appearance of an existing console, the user would simply snap the new cover over or on the existing manufacturer's cover. The cover would be specifically designed to accommodate all access panels, buttons, cooling vents, connection ports and the like. The new covers would be specifically designed to go with a specific game or be of a more generally styled theme. The game controller covers are two halves that snap around the controller yet expose all control buttons and surfaces. It is also envisioned that an LED lighting system could be embedded in the controller case cover to add an interesting artistic touch by way of case illumination.
