There seems to be a few people having random problems with the graphics size. It is unknown the reason behind it but I recommend printing a trial photo on printer paper on draft settings to check if yours will work. Check out the troubleshooting section if you are running into problems. I recommend using Google Chrome as it seems to work flawlessly.
If you have a request for a custom cover just let me know in the comments below and I'll see what I can come up with. If you are interested in non-gaming themes just link to me to your pictures (must be high quality, these are 2325x1125 pixel images).
You can download the template I use for the covers here: Crystal Case Template
Then check out the how-to video on creating your own: How-To
Custom Crystal Case Covers:
PRINT IN PORTRAIT MODE (unless noted otherwise)
Info:
In my Playstation Vita Accessories video I mentioned creating custom covers for PDP's Crystal Case. Each custom cover I created is specifically sized to fit perfectly within the case. To see it how it looks inside the case (NOTE: I used a low quality print out to display that it actually fits, I recommend printing on photo-paper at your printer's highest settings) check out this video. Please realize that not all of the image will be displayed in the case as there is only a rectangular window. All the important pieces of the image: logo, face, background, etc. will be visible.
If you find a cover you like simply enlarge it, right click + open in new tab/window and then file -> print it. Make sure you print in portrait mode. Cut around the edges and slip it into your case. It should be a perfect fit! If you are having trouble printing the cover at the right dimensions check out my Troubleshooting Section. I personally recommend using Google Chrome as it has worked flawlessly.
Here is what the cover will look like in your case:

Sorry for how long this one took.
Be sure to pass this around to your friends and check back in the future for more custom content!
Comment below for more cover requests!
Cheers,
Jon
The crystal covers are excellent. How about Everybodys Golf & Chelsea FC on Fifa.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Hey darkdeathreapa,
DeleteThanks for your support!
I just uploaded Chelsea FC for backgrounds and covers. Let me know what you think!
I'm looking into creating Everybody Golfs, I'll get back to you on that shortly.
Cheers,
Jon
Thanks Jon, thats absolutely fantastic, just looking forward to getting my Vita on Weds 22d. The covers are all excellent and they look fantastic printed on glossy photo paper.
DeleteCheers
David aka darkdeathreapa
David,
DeleteI am glad you love the covers! Thank you for your support.
Be sure to check back Thursday for some very special video content I have planned for the Vita launch.
Cheers,
Jon
Hey Jon
DeleteJust to say, keep up the good work, the covers, backgrounds & videos are all excellent. Any chance of a Miami Dolphins cover for a fan from the UK?
Cheers
David
hey can u add ome socom ones please thats my fav gaame
DeleteHey, Mark again. Could you make a celtic vita background? Thanks :D
ReplyDeleteHey Mark,
DeleteI added the Celtic background under the "Customize your Vita: Backgrounds" tab.
Cheers,
Jon
Just Lovely
ReplyDeletei see you site on amazon review and you have done so many amazing ones.
I have vita on pre-order, some for us girl gamers would be just so great
Gracias
Antonia
Hey Antonia,
DeleteI just uploaded some backgrounds designed for girls. Do you have any specific requests or do the ones I designed fit your need? They are mixed in with other cases because as though they were designed with girls in mind, I didn't want to seclude them to a "Girl Themed" section.
Cheers,
Jon
Hola Jon :)
Deleteno i understand no need for a section but i see you have updated now and there are some very good ones to choice.
I really adore the Zelda ones you have done and the abstract. There seems a new theme for each month
Perhaps when you no so busy there can be the odd Final Fantasy added but i feel i can speak for all and say you have done amazing job and i am very glad to of found them and look forward to trying them. more need to find you blog and enjoy these
Waiting for my Vita now,
"Excited"
Gracias
Antonia
Leo again, could you possibly resize that second Zelda background you've posted to fit the case?
ReplyDeleteAnd is this picture the proper resolution or size or whatever?(I'm not tech savvy lol)
http://files.myopera.com/norther/albums/7677852/Tribal-Mahamudra.jpg
It'd be great if you could resize that ^^^^^ to fit the case as well.
Thanks again
Hey Leo,
DeleteI added the Zelda case as a cover, let me know what you think of the new design!
I also added your Tribal picture as a background and cover.
Cheers,
Jon
That's great! Thanks a ton.
DeleteI really like the Courage/Wisdom/Strength addition on the triforce.
In fact, could you possible make a cover without the Courage/Wisdom/Strength words so I could have them front and back? (one with the words and one without)
That would be perfect.
Thanks again!
Hey Leo,
DeleteThe Zelda Background without the text is uploaded!
Enjoy,
Jon
Hey Jon,
ReplyDeleteI've followed your post on GameFaqs. Is there anyway to make a Detroit Lions cover? I don't mind trying to find a picture to use, but I can't seem to find a 2325x1125 picture.
Hey Brandon,
DeleteI can create a Lions cover and background for you. The images do not need to be 2325x1125 but the larger the better. If the image is at least 1000x1000 it tends to stay pretty clear but depending on the original quality can lead to a blurry pixelated image. Basically anything higher than 1000x1000 for the main image should be ok, but the bigger the better. Feel free to link me to your pictures or if you have no personal preference just let me know here and I'll create one on my own.
Cheers,
Jon
Wow, thanks for getting back to me so fast! Here is a link to the basic, new logo the Lions have.
Deletehttp://idigitalcitizen.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/detroit_lions-coat-of-arms-2560x1600.jpg?w=2560
I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to do this. Thanks again. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Hey Brandon,
DeleteIll get started on it right now, the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 cover was getting real frustrating. It should be on the site within the hour.
Cheers,
Jon
Hey Brandon,
DeleteI just posted covers and backgrounds for Detroit Lions.
Let me know what you think,
Jon
Oh wow! Those are amazing. I was just expecting the same old pic I posted! Looks great! Gonna get those downloaded and printed for my case asap. Thanks again. Wow!
DeleteHey Brandon,
DeleteIm glad you like them so much! I had a lot of fun doing it and got to try out a few new things.
Thanks for your support!
Jon
I posted a picture and instructions how I got it to work for me in the post on Gamefaqs. Once again, I want to say thanks for doing the Lions case for me. It looks awesome.
DeleteI would love a Lara croft cover since I am a big fan of hers. I would appreciate it if you can make one. :-D
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteI have a background of hers up on the site but I will definitely look into creating a cover in the next few days!
Jon
Thanks so much for these I have added your site to GBAtemp and will link to it everytime I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteGreat work you deserve more traffic ;)
Thanks :)
DeleteA Dragon's Crown background would be nice.
ReplyDeleteCould you do a Tottenham Hotspurs Fifa cover? That would be quite awesome
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteThere are 2 different backgrounds right now for the Tottenham Hotspurs and I'll work on getting covers up within a few days.
Jon
In anticipation for the HD release of it, how about some Zone of the Enders?
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteThere are a few backgrounds right now for Zone of the Enders and I'll work on creating some covers for you.
Jon
And by a Tottenham Hotspurs cover I meant background/unlock screen!
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteWell... I guess I didn't screw this up. There are 2 backgrounds under the background tab!
Jon
could you make one with a black background, with a simple Sony logo (front) and one with a Vita Logo (rear). It would be much appreciated
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteDone and done.
Jon
Id love to see something anime style like the classics...Gundam, Cowboy Beebop, Outlaw Star,etc.
ReplyDeletecan you make one with doctor who: the eternity clock and leave a space for me to add my PSN name, that would be great thanks.
ReplyDeleteby the way I meant a cover not a bckground
DeleteWould you be able to make one from the anime FLCL?
ReplyDeleteHey,
DeleteDone. Be sure to check out the backgrounds I made too for FLCL too!
Jon
Hey Jon just recently found your blog and so far what i've read has been spot on. Anyway I had a request could you do more on metal gear. more specifically could you do a case and background that just had a bunch of the metal gear characters (ie. Snake, The Boss, and Raiden) from like all of the games. Oh and if you could add some form of emblem from the game that would be great.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Dylan
Ps. love all the other cases and backgrounds
Hey Jon sorry I didn't ask this in my last post but I figured why I am at it maybe you could do something from the lord of the rings. Maybe something more from the movies than from the games. Anyway I'll leave it up to you cause I am not that creative. Oh and if you don't have time don't worry about it I understand.
DeleteThanks
Dylan
Oh and I had a question about the Vita. Does it have its own media management software for the pc for like storing media and downloading games from the pc?
DeleteHey Dylan,
DeleteI put up more backgrounds for Metal Gear and will work on creating some more covers along with your Lord of the Rings request.
As for the Vita's PC media management, the only way to transfer movies, games, music, photos from your PC to Vita and vice versa is through Content Manager. You can also back up your Playstation Vita to your PC.
You can download it here: http://cma.dl.playstation.net/cma/win/en/index.html
Simply install the application and connect your Vita to your PC. Then open the content manager application on your Vita and you'll be good to go.
Let me know if you have any more questions here or by email at Nohons@AllThingsGaming.net
Cheers,
Jon
Hey thanks Jon for the Metal gear backgrounds. I showed my bro and he was all amazed. Anyway I checked out the media software and so far it has worked reall well. You saved me a lot of time. It would have taken me forever to find it. So keep up the good work and you now have a permanent fan for the blog.
DeleteThanks
Dylan
Dylan,
DeleteGlad you and your brother liked them! Glad to help and thanks for your support.
Jon
Hey Jon, these are awesome. I am currently using the rayman ones. Would it be possible to make some disgaea 3 covers? Backgrounds and/or lockscreens would be cool too but covers would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteCan you do a dust 514 cover, I would appreciate that! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jon, I forgot the post above is mine and I forgot to put my signature, but if it wouldn't be to mush trouble could you do a halo, if not that is also okay,
ReplyDeleteEthan
Hey Jon could you add one for the New England Patriots. That would be really helpful for me. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe covers are really awesome. :D
ReplyDeleteBut i have a problem.
The size of the printed pictures don’t match the custom crystal case.
So my question is how do you recommend to print this.
Hey,
DeleteCheck here: http://www.allthingsgaming.net/2012/02/custom-cover-troubleshooting.html
and I recommend trying google chrome first to print from browser because that seems to work flawlessly for everyone.
Jon
Thx man. the troubleshooting section helped a lot.
Deleteyou are making a lot of people happy with your work so keep it up :D
I have no artistic skill so I wanted to make a request - could you make a Darth Vader/ Boba Fett Star Wars style set of Inserts? You would be my hero.
ReplyDeleteHey Jon, personally I am not a big fan of realistic shooters, but I think it would be appreciated be many other gamers. Could you do a Call of Duty? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteEthan
i was wondering if you could do a diablo 3 cover
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome how about Nottingham Forest from FIFA please
ReplyDeleteHeey! Awesome covers!! I'm thinking about getting the crystal cover and I think you might have convinced me to do so hahaha So I'll blame it on you! Say, is there a chance you could make Harry Potter covers or backgrounds?? That would totally make my day! :D
ReplyDelete-Lilo
Very nice covers. Is there any chance of you making some Dragon's Crown ones?
ReplyDeleteWanted to let you know I used your templates to make a sweet Stardust cover of my own. I love the power of Photoshop. Thanks for templates.
