Wow, that looks pretty sweet. However, I think the white is already beautiful, and probably would never buy a skin for it.

If I ever did have a MacBook, and I did put one on, I would cut out a space for the apple logo. That would look pretty cool!

Blowfish looks awesomely awesome. I'd be a bit hesitant about covering my beautiful black beauty up though. Some pics of those skins on the back of a blackbook would be nice.

Scremox,

I'll have to agree with u. Even tho I love the designs on those gelaskins I wouldn't want to cover the Beauty of my Black MacBook. Plus the fact that it cover the Apple logo isn't making it sit to well with me

But I still love the designs, Maybe if they had a design that works around the Apple Logo so it looks as if its a part of the Design that would be NEAT, and then I'd consider it more seriously.

It's a sticker and there is no way it will look pretty. There will be bubbles or it will be crooked or something.... And those colors are way too rich to translate nicely to CMYK on a printed surface.

i found this pic from a blog of a user. It's an actual photo of her macbook with the "blowfish" design. Looks decent.

I emailed the manufacturers and asked if they would consider producing them with the apple logo cut-out, they said not in the near future. shame

Nice....but I am still in love with my MBP and the way it glows at night.

no not yet, I'll post it here if I find one.

I remember you were asking for a black macbook with the spec case on (in this or another thread?), I have a friend who has it and I'll take a photo and post in on here...

I'm sure it wouldn't be too challenging to cut out the Apple logo yourself. What kind of material is the skin?
