    Those look pretty cool!

    I haven't used decals but I have tried screen protectors. Correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing you put them on the same way with the sticky stuff on the back. The screen protectors were a pain in the and bubbles were all over them.

    But if you do buy these decals post up your pics :D

    They look pretty cool to me, too, but... there aren't any reviews on Amazon, so I dunno if the $25 is worth it. :|

    Not sure how good those will hold. Isn't the material used on the palmrest area on the M11X the same as the M15X? If it is, I'd say the texture is a bit rough for a full sized decal to properly adhere.

    I'd only really care about the outside lid... I wouldn't expect the palmrest and screen to have nice decals.

    I'd love to give one a try, but yeah, no one's actually tried them yet, so I'll hold until I see results.
