    Is there any sort of cover I can put on my Asus g50vt-x5. The lighting or flame design is kind of annoying lol. Any ideas would be great! Thanks

    Maybe some car vinyl would do the trick? That stuff should be flexible enough to fit the curves

    I have my portable 11.6 laptop covered with a carbon fiber vinyl. The stuff is pretty cheap, really excellent and easy to work with (heating it up with a hair dryer makes it softer), and most importantly, looks awesome. Search ebay for carbon fiber vinyl. I'd recommend the 3M stuff as it's the most realistic.

    Google "laptop skins" and you should see a variety of online stores that offer a plethora of designs for you to choose from.
