    Does anyone have any recommended laptop skin companies or websites to check out?

    I want somewhat of a carbon fibre or black leather look/feel. Spigen used to do these, but it appears that they've taken it down from their website.

    Did you see how my topic developed? I kind of veered into 3M's vinyl wrap after some research; 3M also produces a lot of Carbon Fiber wraps, and I believe they're readily available through online channels.

    If you're comfortable with taking apart your laptop, you can do it for pretty cheap yourself. As long as you have a clean work space and aren't too aggressive with trimming, you can remove and place the wrap until you are satisfied.

    Otherwise; I'm not too sure about what's available in Canada.

    GelaSkins is the one you should use if you live in Canada. They ship from Toronto.

    I've personally used them.
