Skin-making giant dbrand announced today trough twitter and Reddit that they won't be selling Switch skins. Good guy dbrand.
"Why?" You must be asking yourself. Turns out the Joycons' surface doesn't go well with skins; and neither does the console itself. On their website, you cannot order skins anymore.

They also stated that anyone who preordered a Switch skin would be refunded:

As for anyone who pre-ordered a Switch skin, we’ll be refunding your order in full over the next 72 hours. Upon execution, you can expect an email from our customer service robots confirming that the refund has been processed. If you pre-ordered a Switch skin alongside other item(s), you’ll receive a refund for only the Switch portion and the remaining pieces will ship normally.

This is what the Switch console would look like upon removal:

Strange...they say "an extended period of time", but it's just been released for a day. In terms of skins and covers, I'd say that is pretty darn short. :unsure:
Maybe it's based on their previous experience with this type of material and/or this type of surface, and know that after a week/month the skin fuses with it and can't be removed.
