    Do you have a pic of it on your laptop?

    It looks pretty interesting, definitely something different.

    I'll take some pics of the computer and post them shortly. I'm still trying to figure out how to put the pics directly into the post

    It looks pretty nice on that laptop,
    one thing though,
    did you consider placing the skin upside down, so that when you open the screen the image is right side up?

    Its just a little weird seeing the image upside down.
    Anyways, it looks beautiful closed, the image is nice and it fits color wise with your laptop.

    I did consider that, but i wanted to look at the image when the screen is closed. I keep the screen closed on my desk when i'm at work so no one see me playing crysis.

    Cool, but why'd you choose to mount it in that direction? Now it is upside down when the laptop is open, is it not?

    I think it was something like $23 total. I've ordered so much stuff for my laptop i cant remember the prices anymore (i think that might be a bad sign that i'm a little obsessed with computer gear...lol)

    It looks pretty good man. IDK if I would want one on my laptop, for the fact of me wanting to change it every month, but it would be cool for then lol
