    Hi everyone,

    Suddenly felt an urge this morning to decorate my laptop but not sure where to start (lol at myself) , mainly because my F8SV has a reflective black (piano coating is it called?) lid and I'm sure if decorating it is a good idea.

    I think in this age of technology, more and more people are becoming owners of 3C products (computers, laptops etc). There has already been many desktop modders coloring their rig to make it unique, I think laptops should do the same too....especially our choice of outer shell is very limited by the spec we're buying.

    For those decorators out there, feel free to give some expert opinions!

    http://www.schtickers.com/ - awesome laptop skins that are easy to put on, and easy on the wallet, I got loads of compliments for the design on my C90s. Many people mistake it for custom paint from a distance.

    If you're interested I can send you a link for the source picture I used. It looks a lot better in person, the flash from the camera kinda screwed with the light a bit but really on a glossy black notebook such as my C90 you can't tell its a sticker until you get close.

    quick edit: the title of the pic was 'Advance Creative: The Soul of Creation" and I chose that pic cause I planned on ebing very creative with my C90 as far as modding and such. Just an odd little tidbit as to why I chose the pic I chose aside from just looking awesome.

    I've had that for about a month now. And it's incredibly easy to put on but you really have to try to take it off. It's not super permanent but this thing feels like it's not just going to suddenly fall off and lose its stick.

    @themanwithsauce, so you mean it doesn't leave ANY glue residue on the back of your screen, and that the piano gloss finish will continue smooth, when you try to take it off, is that right?

    Just tried lifting a corner, it was stuck on there GOOD. No residue was left behind though and it stuck back on fine (but it did wrinkle a little, screw you freelance and your questions!)
