    I am considering getting a macbook if I get one I would want to get some type of cover (skin) to make sure I didn't scratch it (or the horrible palm discoloration thing I have seen so much about) . It would be awesome if these could be custom made (color design etc) .... Do you guys have any links to such things?

    Also I have seen a lot about painting,this might be an option but I suck at drawing so I would have to have it done. Any sites for this? :)

    Thanks!!

    shieldzone skins are GOOD. I have one for my DS lite and it protects from scratches just like the videos show. However, if you don't want to spend the money, don't need their lifetime warranty (which might be worth it) and don't mind not having nice packaging then you can go with Best Skins Ever it's the same product for half the price.

    i second the shieldzone skins... i am buying one tonight for my newly purchased creative zen vision M. my buddy has one of those shields on it, and he told me to try to scratch it with first a pencil than a key. i gotta say, the stuff's pretty insane...
