    I wanna know how one looks like... I'm thinking of getting one for my laptop but I want to know what they would look like, especially on an Inspiron 1720/Vostro 1700.

    Any pictures with flash? I did a quick search and not a lot of pictures, or high quality ones.

    Hmm... right now I'm looking into glossy... I was thinking glossy black for the palm rest like where your suede is, and some kind of thing for the lid.... I was hoping they'd have glossy yellow but neither of those sites carry that.

    Thanks for the picture though. I can't really tell that it's a sticker.

    Yeah, I ordered a custom size so I would have enough for the palms and the lid. I ended up not using it on the lid.

    I bought my girlfriend a schticker, and it looks really good with a couple of caveats.

    1) You must make sure you choose the correct size (custom if possible)
    2) Use the highest quality image you can ( I have heard bad things about their provided images )
    3) The application process is the trickiest bit... if you have a lid with bevels or such it could be tough.

    It looks great though, hardly tell it is a sticker from 2ft+ away. I will get some photos once she is back from Dublin :)
