I know a bunch of people were asking so I Thought id share.....I reallllyyy wanted a shell for the pad, but there wasnt much available, so I went with the Nerf orange and black one.....it was alright....but it ended up making the gamepad look kind of dirty.....the paint job on them is terrible.....and the nerf material is eh.....

So I went to Gamestop today, and a company PDP I believe put out a silicone sleeve sold in retailers ....its 1 billion times better than the nerf one.....makes the gamepad look really really good....not bulky at all....but sleek and slim......just with a color.... i believe it comes in black, pink, red, and blue.....i got the blue one......its really really awesome if your interested in getting a case for the gamepad....

heres a link

again.... they are selling them at certain gamestops so check it out

Thank you for this, I was considering getting the nerf armor due to good online reviews. I'll probably look into getting this one now.

mine showed up today in the mail thought i was getting black but they sent red the red looks good with the black only thing mine had a tiny tear in the corner it wasent big or ripped all the way through so i kept it. Best buy sells just the cover for 14 i might get a blue cover later if the red 1 wears down. They are really nice and no more smudges on the controller.

I was torn between getting a silicon sleeve or the nerf gamepad sleeve. But I guess the nerf one would make the gamepad become to big and bulky for my taste so silicon it is.

Do the silicon cases leave any marks or smudges on the gamepad itself underneath the cover?

Yeah, I kind of settled for the Nerf and forced myself to like it cause there was nothing else.....seriously, the paint job is soo shotty, the colors are faded on the edges, and have black spots in them, and leak into each other on the edges.....very poor/dirty look.....and it didnt seem so at the time, but after getting the silicone case, i realize just how bulky the Nerf case was......not smooth at all.....the silicon is a tight tight grip......its a skin/sleeve, not a case.....so much better......one solid color.....and makes it look much much cooler.
