    I want my Dell Latitude D630 to look unique, but a custom skinit sticker costs $34.95??!! How can ONE sticker cost $34.95? I am going to make an extremely elaborate design for that price, if I buy it. Are skinit stickers bought from the Dell website any better quality than similar cheaper stickers? Does Dell apply the sticker for me so it looks nice? If I apply the sticker, I am sure it will look crooked and have those annoying air pockets. I am willing to pay extra for Dell to apply it if Dell makes sure it looks nice. Have you purchased a Dell laptop with a Dell skinit sticker? Would you recommend it? I need the sticker to last at least 4 years before it has any major problems with fading, falling off or other issues.

    Thank you for you vote

    For a custom one, I would say $35 is very reasonable. Of course, if somebody else does it cheaper... that's cool too.

    I looked around the dell link you gave.

    It's not just like a bumper sticker or whatever. It covers the entire top of the laptop (leaving space for the Dell logo :D) - I'd say $35 is what I'd expect that to cost.

    Not saying it's reasonable..

    Does anyone know if these things peel back off easily, or are you left with sticky stuff all over your lid?
