Review: SkinIt MBP and "CF" vinyl palmrest

I designed this Skin for my 13 MBP, and I also had designed one for my moto droid. so shipping was free, the MBP was 30 and the Droid was 20.
It took a little bit of patience to install but overall not that bad.

Quality was decent, it looked like there was a little crease in the skin, but it went away after installing it. The skit itself seems pretty tough it seems to fit well.
Took these pics with my Droid, so they arent top notch


The picture came out a litle darker than I thought it would...
the palm rest I bought from ebay from the seller citizen327
MacBook Pro 13 Unibody Palmrest Skin Cover Carbon Fiber - eBay (item 310214789059 end time Apr-26-10 13:23:36 PDT)
for $22 it was very much worth it, it is textured vinyl and not just a sticker so it gives a similar lighting effect of carbon fiber.




The palm rest also came with 2 vinyl apples, as you can see I put one on the left palm rest and one on the cover.
It also came with 3 apple stickers, and 2 trackpad covers one clear and one black I believe. I didnt try them as I wanted to keep the sensitivity of the trackpad.

 

Looks good. I got a full cover for my 13", adds protection to the bottom, etc, works well too.

 

Looks awesome! I might do something like that for my next Macbook Pro, but for now I'm just rocking a full body invisashield.

 

Yeah the MBP already is as common around here as HPs and dells, but there are enough of them that I like the unique "this is mine" feeling...

prolly the same psycological reasoning behind why I skinned my phone as well, and modded my car...

Oh yeah it protects against scratches too lol! I got tiny rubber feet for the bottom so it never touches anything...

 

Was thinking of getting the CF vinyl covering as well, but can only seem to find the lid cover, and palmrest, but not the bottom, unless it's case.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

 

To each their own.....can't say I like it at all, but glad you do!

 

hey guys
i have the exact same cover except not in CF.
i'm starting to have heating problems though and im thinking if it could be because of the cover.

do you have the same problem as well moosez3?

or any of you that has the same type of cover on your mbp??

thanks guys
