It would seem society says all the cool kids are innovators with radical ideas that stand apart from the rest. About a year ago I bought a custom built laptop – not to stand out – but because it was an intelligent decision (a great deal and I could do whatever I wanted with the machine). So far it’s turned out amazing – I’ve upgraded it a couple of times and regularly use it for anything from teaching to gaming to even recording. I’ve had only one little issue with it all this time – the back cover has a little indent where a logo is supposed to go.
Well the time has come for me to the join the rest of you people who ‘want to be different.’ No I’m not listening to indie-emo-punk music. No I’m not subscribing to what the industry says is the unique and cool in laptops and buying a mac.
I’m getting a laptop skin! Turns out it’s rather hard to find them for a reasonable price and with any good designs. After about an hour of putzing around searching for one here’s what I’ve got for all of you:
Get Your Skins.com and DecalGirl.com seem to have the best pre-made selection, as far as I can tell.

Unique Skins.com, however, has a sweet editor that you can use to customize your skin however you want – doing multiple pictures, laying them out however you want, and for laptops of all sizes. Oh and they decorate phones, mp3 players, and gaming consoles too.
If you’re in the market of cool hunting, I’d suggest you go check them out!
