    Pictures:
    The pictures are from my ultra-crappy cell phone. Sorry for the horrible quality. I designed the "Schticker" in GIMP.

    Thoughts:

    The sticker was harder to apply than you would imagine. It's takes a few tries to apply the sticker without leaving air bubbles or putting the sticker at a small angle (I'm OCD about things like that). I found the best way to apply it was to lay one corner down, then use a ruler to slowly apply the rest of the sticker. The sticker can be taken off without much effort, and reapplied later. It doesn't leave a sticky residue. It's made of a very high quality glossy material.

    After applying it, the sticker looks great. I made a dumb mistake and didn't make it a high enough resolution, so if you look closely enough, the picture quality is a tiny bit fuzzy. Other than that, it's a great way to hide scratches or just completely change the look of your laptop without paying a lot for a paint job. However, I can see how $25 can be too much. I think $15 would be a more reasonable price. If you're a few feet away, the sticker looks like a custom paint job, which is awesome.

    How did you know what phone I used? o_O

    The phones ok. I got it for like 20 bucks with a 2 year plan. It's really not that great of a phone, just better than the average cell phone.
