    Hey NBR,

    So I just got a pretty gnarly scratch on the lid of my Envy 15 (3xxx) today and am pretty sure that it's not gonna be able to clean up well. As such, I thought about getting a skin to cover it up. Do any of you have any recommendations for Envy 15 skins? I was doing some quick Googling, and it seemed like there weren't very many for this model.

    Thanks

    You could just purchase a roll of carbon fiber vinyl and cut-to-fit. Can't go wrong with carbon fiber! :p

    If you don't want Carbon Fiber (which I don't know why you wouldn't want something that BA), my best guess would be to look into Macbook Pro 15 skins.. The dimensions are pretty close between the two if I'm not mistaken..

    Now that sounds epic. :p Only thing I would be worried about are the tapered corners. Are there tutorials for custom-cutting laptop skins, or is it pretty self explanatory? Thanks for the great idea. :)
