    Skinit charges $35-40 for a sticker, which is outrageous. Even with the coupon codes, you're paying $30 + $5 shipping.

    I almost was going to bite the bullet and purchase from them but after a bit of searching, I found these guys on Ebay:

    Laptop Notebook Skin Sticker Decal - DELL XPS 15 L501x | eBay

    They cost 1/4 as much as Skinit. Just ordered one for my gf's XPS 15. I'll post pix after we receive it. :)

    Ebay is a good choice. I was just there looking for some silicone keyboard skins and prices vary from $2.98 with free shipping typically from HK. :)

    edit: I just saw you mentioned Ebay. That's what I get for typing while staring at your Avy. :D

    If you can wait, these guys are going to have a 50% off code soon:

    Unique Skins - Wall | Facebook

    But they currently don't support the XPS 15, but if enough of us writes on their wall! ;)
