    I'd have to recommend a Razer Pro Click Mobile
    Razer products have always been good to me, and mine has been running on the 2 AA batteries it came with for almost 7 months now, so it has really good battery life too.
    Great mouse IMO.

    I'd recommend the Logitech G7 if you aren't looking for something that'll be going with you everywhere. This option would be great if you game at all or just have to spend long periods of time using a mouse...

    As for ultraportable mice and MB skins... sorry I don't know any really...

    Hope this helps!

    Well the OP wants something wireless, and I'm guessing he wants something Bluetooth, so that it doesn't use a usb slot. So I'm guessing he would want Bluetooth mouse recommendations. Just a guess though.

    I used to complain about the two USB ports on my macbook pro and I think that I may need three or more. Now I live with it. I plug one USB mouse into my USB port all the time and I do not mind at all.

    I think that bluetooth mouse has its advantage such as free you one usb port, but on the other hand, it use batteries, which could run out of quickly.

    I used to be a huge fan of wireless mouse, but now I changed my mind. I use wired usb all the time.

    Just my 2 cents
