    Recently I needed to hand in a Crapbook Air into Applecare (yet again) so I removed it's Gelaskin and stuck it onto a 17" Crapbook Pro for "safekeeping".

    I was quite surprised to see that the skin had much more impact this way, with a large border of silver around it. It's kind of a very cool photo frame like effect and I'd like to do this on the Air's.

    While I can cut skins, taking a large chunk off e.g. a 13" skin for this effect kind of ruins many skin designs. I was wondering if anyone doing nice skins had begun to cater for 9-10"-ish netbooks - that should be ideal for what I have in mind.

    Make your own skin, like mine. It's much better.
