Yes, I definitely want the wallpaper too. There are two ways to get custom designs (I am somewhat of an expert on this now after spending a week deciding on my design!
).
First, you can search by design. On their main page, on the left hand side of the top menu, under "More ways to shop", choose "Shop by design". It will be $5 extra if the design is not already made for the 950, but you can choose any of almost 2000 different designs and they will make it for you, and you will get a wallpaper.
The second option is if you want a design to look a different way (different colour, laid out differently, etc.) or want a design that's not already on their website. Then, you'd fill out a "custom" form. But beware, you won't get a wallpaper if you order a custom design!

You definitely can! See my instructions above; just shop by design.

That was in my Top 4, but I didn't get it. I'm such a nerd but I actually browsed through ALL the designs. I also liked "Baikal", "Library", "Quest", "Upside Down Map", "Heaven Clouds", "Masks", "Wolf Tree" and a few different beach scene ones, but I went with another one.

There is a link they gave me for a "custom" design that I never found on the website (though the link may be somewhere, I don't know). It is:
https://www.decalgirl.com/page.view/customwork.htm
But that link is only for actual "custom" skins (altering an existing design or using a design not on the website). If you just want a design not already on the 950, as natasha said, you just browse by design and choose the design and device and they will make it for you.
And also, yes any design you see on the 350 or 650 pages will look basically the same on the 950 probably. The Kindle will be laid out differently because from what I can tell, the Sonys are the only device that wraps around front to back right to left (like a book). Most other devices have the same design repeated on both sides, or the design wrap around left to right instead of right to left. But the Kindle and nook pages will also give you good ideas on how it might look anyway.
However, I figured something out after a few days of consideration that helped me a lot when browsing designs and made things much easier. I browsed by design, and if I liked the design, I just did a search for it (in the top right corner search box), and it will bring up pictures of all the devices that have that design already made for it. It's
very helpful in seeing what the design might look like, and how a design may differ from device to device.
