The cover is actually removable. You can buy a different color (I bought a yellow one). Or skins are available online. Or, you could just let your creative juices flow on the blank white one!

I just bought some luminous Orange paint off ebay to try.

Ooo then how to remove cover? ?

It just snaps open like the back of a phone. Just be sure to line up for a little pins when you snap it back on otherwise you might break one. For me it works best when I line up the front and then snap down the sides all the way to the back.

I accidentally found this image of a Tello skin ... in my opinion very beautiful.

Dang it does look flashy ?

more than skin ... from July 2020 here in Italy we are obliged to attach a QR code on the drone by paying 6 euros for registration and insurance already mandatory from 15/12/2019
All this for drones under 249 grams and with camera (including the small dji TELLO).

That's a big oof. But why tho? Is government in Italy is more and more restricting use of drones? ?

All this thanks to the new European regulation ENAC.
Many are leaving the drone world! for drones over 300 grams, things get complicated .. with more course and online tests and they will put a transponder on the drone.

Oof that's rough. I just now checked what association in Lithuania controls all ordeal of getting drone pilot license and drone piloting exam. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask them if owning and flying Tello without WiFi repeater (for now I don't have much money to get repeater+power bank for repeater) won't get me into trouble.? What do you think?

I don't know the law and regulation of drones in your country ... but I think that the Wifi extender can be used, inquire about the laws in force in your country.

It’s only the legal ones that stop when you bring these laws in. In England I have two air rifles that can kill small animals up to 25m away, and they don’t have to be registered at all. But I’m supposed to register a drone over 250g, the world’s gone mad!

I had
I had some leftover vinyl stickers from my "rustic,battle scarred" themed for Mavic Pro drone,controller and battery stickers so I applied them to Tello removeable cover.Now it looks like big brother does.I also spray painted faded blue,tan to simulate wear on prop guards.Yeah,it adds weight,no erratic flights or significant battery drain as of yet.weight but I haven't noticed drifting,less flight time,etc.

Had to remove btm cover and tape off vps ,minor
