Article Laptop Skin - Zebra Laptop Skin

Some time ago, I had put a Raid101.com sticker on the missus' laptop. After removing the sticker, there had been some residual glue that was hard to clean up. I tried Isopropyl Alcohol, to no luck. For some reason (either drunk or stoned), I had a brain wave to use Nail polish remover or essentially paint thinner on the poor black finish.

The end result -



And this is after a lot of buffing and polishing with various silicone wax and polishes.

Found this today in the Supermarket. She liked it instantly -



A TouchMate Zebra Notebook Skin. To give a different unique look to your notebook



And the innovative Fur design makes me like Working In Wild. It Makes My Notebook Live.

Who the F wrote this, a certain Camel Case Friendly Guy we knew?

Anyways, Placement -



Thankfully it came on just right. There is a grid on the back -



That allows you to cut to size.

After about 5 minutes of removing and re-sticking the backing to get it right -



Looks good, the fur looks real -




So if anyone's feeling tribal, you know what to get for your laptop.

Edit - I did clean the surface using Hand sanitizer and a tissue to ensure proper adhesion.

Price - 170 INR.

 

Eew, tacky! I hate laptop skins!

 

Well it is better than the dull plastic that gets me looks every time I mention it or look at it.

 

I am with mohit on it, simple elegant one colour is good enough for me as well.

 

Agreed. But this is a fur one and it was cheap (by standards here)

 

You should take some steel/brass wool to the cover, then you'll have the "brushed metal" look!

 

Okay, any pics of how it should come out. Bear in mind I have a chrome VAIO logo as well in the middle of the cover.

 

I don't know

 

I'll change the cover to a 3-D Carbon Fibre one, as soon as I get my hands on the sticker sheet.
