    I dont know about badges, but you could try laptop skins from skinit.com and/or schtickers.com.

    what i mean is theres a spot on the lid that a rebrander will put their logo, since mine isnt rebranded there isnt a company logo on my top cover, so i have a shiny aluminum cover with a blank rectangle in the middle, i want to find somewhere that has or can make a badge for there

    Well, one will cost about $500.

    Label makers don't just make one, and generally have a minimum order that is pretty high if that is all you need.

    Do you mean they don't have the HEL80 as a selectable option? Chances are it's not common enough for them to have the dimensions. You'll have to give them the dimensions you want.

    Ah, I would suggest you take a look in our Notebook cosmetic modifications forum. There should be a number of threads about them in there.

    Also, if you do a simple "shtickers" or "skinit" search in the forum, we do have a review by Chaz on NBR (I think it was shtickers though).

    Use Duct tape... if they can make wallets and coats and couches and stuff, its good enough for skinning your notebook! :D

    In case anybody is still wondering about this, I found Tim's review for Skinit.
