    Recently purchased a pink Inspiron 1525. I have an idea in my head for some slight decoration for it, but cannot seem to find it.

    I'd like a white decal that looks similar to any of these:
    http://www.stockxpert.com/browse_image/view/34321881/?ref=sxc_hu

    http://www.stockxpert.com/browse_image/view/34321211/?ref=sxc_hu

    http://www.stockxpert.com/browse_image/view/31704691/?ref=sxc_hu

    I cannot seem to find any. I can find SKINS, but I don't want the whole thing covered up (would have been pointless to get it in pink).

    Anyone know of a site where I can possibly MAKE a decal from a pic? Or does anyone know where to find decals like these FOR my laptop?

    Thanks, guys! :wink:

    Skinit.com should have a thing where you can upload an image and design your own skin.

    you can make any sticker you want. The best places to look are custom sign makers. They will have a vinyl sticker machine. Youc an simply upload any JPEG/Bitmap/TIFF image you want, and you can print/cut it.
    If you want a palm cover for your XPS, you just need a clear sticker about the size of your laptop, and than cut it to fit.

    Thanks for the info. I already bought a clear sticker sheet. However, I'm having a hard time to cut it to fit.
    Mine 1330 doesn't have a finger print reader. I tried to apply the sticker sheet first, then using an X-acto knife to cut out the touch pad part, but the cut was not clean. Also there are some bubbles around Intel C2D & Vista stickers.
