    Anyone has recommendations for a good silicone / TPU keyboard skin for the Series 7 15.6" model?

    Have not been able to find anything online so far.

    Thanks in advance!

    A keyboard skin can defeat the purpose of backlit keys though.

    Since we're on the topic of accesorizing this model, i found some screen case covers (skin stickers) on amazon. Hope its really for this model though:

    This is a very good question. Since I'm about to pull the trigger on this awesome laptop, I would want to keep my keyboard pristine. I hope someone comes out with a keyboard skin for this soon!

    You most likely need to custom order it if you want a keyboard skin.

    Saw this site on the web. Unfortunately, they've been out of stock for the past two weeks. I emailed them and they said that they will email me once they do have stock. Maybe if enough of us emails them for this, they'll come out with more stock sooner?

    Went back to the ABESTSTORE website (which I cited above) a few days ago and was ecstatic when I saw that the keyboard skin for the NP700Z5B-S01UB and NP700Z5A-S0AUS was listed as available. I immediately bought one and paid through Paypal.

    The next day, the website emailed me to tell me that they were out of stock and that they would refund me the money if they didn't get new stock by the end of the week. I received the refund yesterday. :(

    Still hoping to find one...
