    LoL that looks awesome, I wouldn't mind an etching of my name on my macbook, small and inside the case by the touchpad would be awesome.

    Cool, I'm kinda interested - I'm trying to get an extra lid for my laptop, its a magnesium composite lid, so the etching should be fine.

    Plus, I'm only in Toronto, so shipping won't be much of a hassle.

    Wow, and its only going to cost you 59 bucks plus shipping?! I was going to buy one of those laptop sticker cover things (a good one) for like 30 bucks, ha, but after seeing this I'm really interested (if you wouldnt mind posting who is doing this on the forum maybe? I'm sure half a dozen other people are going to ask). Hmm, I'm in the states though so shipping is probably going to be a problem.

    That looks good! So you etched off the top silver layer of plastic to expose the black plastic below?
