    That is what I was looking for! I have seen them for Macs but I always wanted to know if they make it for other brands/models.

    Yea, wanna share with us where we can purchase that? I game quite a bit on mine (CounterStrike/and Guild Wars as of late), and I know its only a matter of time before my "w, a, s, d, right shift and spacebar" keys starts to discolour.


    [ Edit ]

    I know I shouldn't be lazy and just Google

    http://www.keyskin.co.kr/

    Ermm, that whole site is in Korean... and I believe this is the page for the M1210...

    KRW 15000.00 / US$ 16.00 + shipping. That is so worth the price. Anyone speaks Korean here, and know if they ship overseas?

    That looks useful, and would keep dirt and oil from the hands out of the keyboard.

    hi
    i just wanted to see how people think about this.
    I have actually talked people from that shop as well.
    they do ship it to north america.
    however they don't accept the foreign visa or master card.
    They asked me to wire some money to their account.
    The wire transfer costs more money than the price of the key skin.
    That is the only way that i could make the payment.
    i am trying to figure out what else i can do.
    I will let you know soon.
    We could possibly order all togther and get a cheaper deal,

    I'm interested if you can get enough to make it cost effective, 25 to 30 bucks a piece would be good price

    I think we should start a group buy of sorts on this for all the XPS M1210 owners who wants one.

    Since I am seriously wanting to get one myself now. :)

    Hmm maybe. I'll see how I feel when the laptop finally arrives and I've played with it for a while.

    I will be willing to purchase one for a reasonable(less than $50) price.

    Wow, that's an interesting accessory.

    I would imagine that typing sensitivity would be radically altered. Any ideas on how hard typing is after the plastic?

    16$ + shipping seems really reasonable. Assuming that it 'sticks' on and doesn't fall out every time the notebook is moved.

    A friend of mine had something simialr on her think pad, it felt really strange the first time you use it, I got used to it in 5 minutes or less, Like I said, if you can get enough to get them for around $25 shipped let me know cause I want in.

    Only draw back was you needed to be really careful on really hot days, the skin touched the screen when closed, and after a few hours in a hot car, there was a permanent imprint of the skin on the screen. This could be easily avoided though with some sort of cloth or paper barrier between the keypad and the screen when closed, or just dont leave it in the car if it can be avoided

    As Angrymob mantioned before, the keyskin itself would cost about USD$15 and shipping would be around $20. Therefore total cost would be between $35 and $40. I am thinking that if i could find 30 people, interested in buying it, i can post it on the ebay and people can safely purchase it through the paypal. As long as they don't accept the foreign credit card, after i received the money through the paypal, i can do the wire transfer to the owner's account and they will ship it to you guys. (if i do the wire transfer at the same time all together, it will cost $1 per a person)
    how do you think ?
    This is just my idea and i haven't decided it yet.
    pleae email me who wants to buy it. (atomkangk at hotmail)
    i will see how many people will be and then decide whether i will do this or not.
