Should You Choose a Logo Cut-Out on Your Skin?
One of the questions we're asked most often is whether customers should choose a logo cut-out or a full cover skin.
The good news is... there's no wrong answer.
It simply comes down to the look you're trying to achieve.
That's why many Xtremeskins products include a Custom option in the product dropdown, allowing you to decide whether you'd like your device logo visible or completely covered.
🎨 Your Device, Your Style
Many of our skins let you choose between a precision logo cut-out or a completely seamless full cover finish.
What Is a Logo Cut-Out?
A logo cut-out is exactly what it sounds like.
Instead of covering the manufacturer's logo, the skin is precision cut so the original logo remains visible.
This is especially popular on devices such as:
- 🍎 Apple iPhones
- 💻 MacBooks
- 📱 Samsung Galaxy phones
- 🤖 Google Pixel devices
- 🎮 Gaming consoles and handhelds
Many customers like keeping the original branding visible while still enjoying a completely customised finish.
Why Choose a Logo Cut-Out?
✨ Shows Off Your Device
Keep iconic logos like the Apple logo visible.
🎨 Premium Contrast
The exposed logo often creates a striking contrast against textured finishes.
📸 Great for Photos
Many people love the clean look when sharing setup photos online.
👌 Factory Feel
Retains some of the original design language of your device.
Why Choose a Full Cover Skin?
Some customers prefer a completely uninterrupted finish.
Without a logo cut-out, the skin flows seamlessly across the entire device, creating a cleaner and often more minimalist appearance.
This works especially well with finishes like Carbon Fibre, Matte Black, Concrete and camouflage patterns.
🖤 Full Cover Benefits
- Completely seamless appearance
- Cleaner minimalist design
- Patterns flow continuously
- No interruption to artwork or textures
- Perfect for custom designs
Which Looks Better?
Honestly?
Both.
It simply depends on the finish you've chosen and your own personal style.
If you're using a bold textured finish like Carbon Fibre or Brushed Metal, a logo cut-out creates a fantastic contrast.
If you've chosen one of our custom designs, camouflage patterns or artwork collections, a full cover often creates the cleanest overall result.
💡 Our Recommendation
For textured finishes such as Carbon Fibre, Matte Black and Leather, we love the logo cut-out. For artwork, camo and full-print designs, we'd usually choose a full cover for a seamless look.
Where Can I Choose?
On many Xtremeskins products you'll find a Custom option in the product dropdown.
Selecting this allows you to personalise different areas of your device, including whether you would like a logo cut-out where available.
This gives you far more control than simply choosing a colour.
You can build a skin that's genuinely unique to your own style.

We believe personalisation should be exactly that — personal.
Rather than limiting customers to one standard design, many of our products allow you to customise colours, finishes and logo cut-outs to create something that's uniquely yours.
Whether you want a clean, understated finish or something that stands out from the crowd, the choice is yours.
Whether you choose a logo cut-out or a full cover skin, you're getting a premium skin that's precision cut to fit your device.
If you love showing off the original branding, choose the logo cut-out. If you prefer a clean, uninterrupted finish, go for the full cover option.
Either way, your device will be protected, personalised and uniquely yours.
