    I am looking foward your comments as well.

    I am interrested in it's durability, if you can comment on how it would resist to everyday scratches if applied to, let's say, the outter case of the LCD.

    I used paint around the keyboard, but I am unsure if I should go with paint or vinyl for the outside, which will obviously take more "hits" with everyday transportation.

    Yeah, it's on right now...I'll post some pics and a review soon, when I actually have the time to do so. Alas, law school finals are uniquely horrible, but I will get this done shortly.

    Hi
    I used white vinyl and purchased it at a professional sign shop. It is made by 3M and has a pressure sensitive backing. Did it in about five minutes after removing the cover. Thought I would need a hair dryer to stretch material over the corners, but proved to be unnecessary. Costs a couple of dollars for material. Printer at shop indicated the material was printable in case you want to included design. Did a beautiful job with no wrinkles or bubbles. (No I am not going to post picture. Take my word for it, it looks professional)
