"They" is not Nintendo. It is a third party product that has the Nintendo seal of approval.

I just got three sets from them. You get what you pay for. Super cheap.

the Negative
-The colors aren't even close to what they show on the web. I picked up Blue, Orange & Lime Green. Blue is probably the best of them. Orange looks more like pastel peach and the bright lime green shown on the site is closer to a pastel Easter Green. A couple of CAGgers who got Red reported that they were closer to pink than the vibrant red shown on the site.

- they stink. I mean really smell. I let them soak in soap water in the sink for a half hour, rinsed them and dried them. Still stunk. I started over and let them sit for a few hours, and for the most part worked okay.

the Positive
- the backs of the skins has a grid of dots for grip.

- they are thinner making pressing the buttons easier than the retail skins.

- super cheap. three sets ran $10 shipped with the coupon code above.

I'd say pass, and pick up the two-tone retail ones, unless you go for clear. While I didn't get that one, I imagine it is hard to fuck up clear.

I got 2 sets, blue and black. They fit perfectly and don't smell. And I'm not so fussy about exact colors. (What if they sold a pastel green or peach? Perfect!) Worked for me.

i have 2 sets of the two-toned ones (pink + white & black + grey)
