    I ordered mine 12/18, and got it the 27th. It's not pixelated at all, but I have yet to put it on.

    Just got the shipping confirmation for my skins. I have definitely won the first part. Let's see if I can get it! But I am still happy.

    @ Darwin:- I have lived in Saudi and it is understandable why Skinit doesn't deliver there. It probably is because of the custom rules there which are really strict there.

    That looks absolutely gorgeous, I'm getting that when I get my laptop later this month. What did you use to cut away the excess black, a razor?

    for people uploading custom image, what resolution did you use for what size notebook? Also what image format and how did it come out, pixelated? lighter/darker? I'm contemplating about photoshopping some picture but unsure about the output quality.

    some hp serial numbers are either 10 or sometimes 8-9 digits. depending on the models and age of the laptops.

    Is there a way to just get a clear skin that would basically just be used to protect?

    You can try customizing a skin and then select a clear background then check out.
