    Vaio FW is very nice laptop, but I would like add some exceptionality :)

    keyboard done (it takes me long time to do)

    transparent label

    and finally done (but with few air bubles under transparent label, main colored label is fine without any bubles)

    Pretty damn nice! Though I don't think I'd have the patience to cut out every single slot for the keyboard lol.

    One word...WOW! Nice job especially on that keyboard!

    I'm looking for a skin for the lid of my samsung q320 at the mo because of the fingerprint marks it's gaining!
