    I've been doing alot of reading on this over at the Intel site, but I'm still struggling to find a solid website that is selling/installing these.

    Personally I was thinking of a classy looking business type panel, brushed aluminum :D, carbon fiber or something, all black perhaps, or gray, with a nice Asus logo/emblem in the corner.

    But where the heck would I find this, and that emblem.

    There seem to be alot of s96j users here, so I was wondering where are you all going to get ur panels done, and how easy/hard is it

    (Personally I'm in Toronto, Canada, so need a store here...kinkos?)

    Pamphlet....hmmm(looking in box). Im not sure, I like the lid look of the S96j, but is it possible to get a sticker that would fit in the little groove at the bottom of the LCD panel. Ebay was selling a big 9" ASUS sticker, but kinda thought it was too big.

    Hi there,
    I just ordered myself a new Z96J from the folks at powernotebooks.com, they informed me it will be in stock next week (hopefully). Anyway I had the same problem as you I personally don't like the lid of the Z96J so did alittle research and came across a review here on notebookreview.com for a site that does Vinyl lid for laptops the site is Schtickers.com I just ordered myself 2 covers (since you can remove and reapply the covers whenever you want) so go check them out it, they might have what you need :)
