    Anybody know a good online site that does the custom skins like skinit.com that has the right template size/shape for the EEE 1000H?

    Thats the only site that comes to mind, I checked there site and they do have a template for the 4G model but thats much smaller than the EEE 1000H, also I cant believe its like $35 for it! I thought with it being so small that it would be quite cheap, but guess I was wrong. (just checked, prices do not change same cost for 15" and even 17" skins but this thing is less than 10" :(

    I got two units one for me and one for the wife, its her first laptop and I want it to be special so a custom skin would really bring the whole package together.

    I wonder if they would make a template from your laptop to add to their inventory.

    Well once I have the unit I can measure it up and get a generic fit. Problem with skinit is they prices are too high, its the same for a little 7" 4G skin as it is for a big 17" skin. I also wanted to order it now and have it ready soon.

    So I found http://www.schtickers.com/ they let you pick a custom size, have the same kind of site setup and have better prices.

    I guess since the lid is not square you would want the skin to be only as big as the flat surface before it rolls over the corners that way you wont have an uneven fit, thats why I was thinking with a template they would have it cut in a way to cover the whole lid corners and all with no ill effects.
