    Well, today marks four weeks from when i ordered my skin for my new e1505. I went to dell.com/chat and talked to the customer support to see when it was coming. THe person said, "I will give you fifteen dollar credit, along with a site to buy a skin." Sweet! thats not the end though, as i looked at the site, i thought, "hey, what about shipping?" so i asked, and he/she changed it to $20, cuz "shipping couldnt be more than that". So i quickly faked a checkout to check shipping prices....$6.07. So i informed he/she of this, and they changed it to $22. ok fine and dandy, right? NOpe. I was browsing the skins and noticed that a 15.4" skin was $3 extra :eek: so i informed them of this also. ONce again, amount changed to $25. Finally.....
    i just didnt want to pay for a skin that i was supposed to get for free.

    SOOOO whats a good place to get skins lol, cuz i think ill go ahead and get one!

    Most of the promo skins weren't so hot anyway , so I'd call it a 25$ cashback and leave the Dell naked , no skin is going to make my Dell look good .

    I got a skin and it wouldn't stay on--it was peeling up the next day. It really looked tacky, anyway, so I am glad it came off without leaving any residue.

    QuickSnaps are the way to go IMO.
