    It looks like Zagg sells the invisible shield for the SXPS with leather but not without?

    Has anyone found an invisible shield for the Dell Studio XPS 1645 without leather?

    Thanks

    I've contacted them but they do not have it without the leather. Apparently there is not enough demand for our particular model :( I really do not see why it would be hard for them to make, with the leather seems far more complicated. Oh well

    No one is putting a gun to your head, but I'd encourage those that are interested to email them anyway.

    Anyways, this is the email I received from Zagg Inc.:
    "Thank you for your inquiry on the Dell Studio XPS 16 invisibleSHIELD. Since we don't currently have an invisibleSHIELD for the device you are looking for you may be interested in submitting it into our hot gadget program. If you are the first to submit this particular gadget and we see there is a market for it, you could get yours for free as well as free professional installation. Please go to the following link to submit your gadget:

    You may want to tell your friends that are interested in it to submit it as well. The more requests we get the better chance we have of making the invisibleSHIELD."

    Maybe because it's personal preference? I for one think the leather looks and feels utterly cheap and tacky on the SXPS 16. Also, I'd rather save the extra money, as little as the savings are, for what I think us a better looking laptop.
