    Sweet! It really goes with the leather. It kinda makes me wish I went with the SXPS 1340!

    Is there a company that makes a skin like this that will fit an Alienware m17x? I have been searching around and aside from a purely custom build I have not found a company that will.

    No-one seems to make high quality looking leather skins besides SGP.

    Unfortunately they do not make them for either of my laptop models...Alienware m17x or HP dv9000 series.

    Anyone know any other companies that works in leather like that?

    Yer took some skill and massive patience lol :p,, Basically measured up first (which turned out harder than i tot bcoz the carbon fiber sheet is kinda stretchable), then I cutout the main bits with a scissors, stuck them on, and then did the handywork (XPS sign and the Dell logo circle) with a blade (it was scary :S).

    But yep looks neat it in the end :),, only part i stuffed up was an air bubble on one side lol,, still bugs me that darn thing!

    I did it 8~9 months ago,, thats the recent pic so the sheet was definately good quality,, I 4got which buyer I got it off tho.
