    Hello there, I'm curious if someone in here buy a protector like these in ebay:

    [​IMG]

    it looks cool for protect the "soft touch" and specially the palm rest area that always get dirty, and with the time it starts to wear... i'm thinking in buying these to avoid that, someone of you already have one of these? want to know if they look nice, or what do you think about these :D

    Come on mate, I like to protect my gadgets too, but what is the point of buying alienware if you cant show off and feel its elegant soft touch rubbberized finish ;) And tbh it looks ugly :)

    LOL xD I totally understand you point, i like in fact the soft touch rubberized, but I will use this laptop as my everyday computer, and will be in my backpack going to school with me ^_^, so I think the soft touch will transform in horrible looking in a while xD, Thats another reason I wanna buy one of these, but i'm agree with you :p

    These skins are ALL over Amazon too btw, if you prefer to buy from a larger reliable site. They have hundreds of different patterns/colors/ect. too. If you see the one with the radioactive symbol, that'll be the one I almost bought :p

    I purchased the same thing except out of carbon fibre, same exact thing when I ordered they gave me the choice between the leather and the carbon...

    Its pretty spot on the size fits it perfectly, it doesn't damage the coating when you try to remove it and it really does protect the laptop.

    I kind went all out with keeping my m14x safe, I have a skin that covers the bottom cover top cover and palm rest, I have a TPU keyboard skin and a matte screen protector.

    No such thing as overkill.
