    So have any of you guys found a way to get a copyrighted image through??? :eek:

    Been trying to get a Starcraft II image for a custom skin but they keep rejecting :p Has anyone tried calling up to make an order?

    Or do you guys know of any other sites that do custom images as vinyl stickers/skins for the m17x?

    Nvm, it went through. Apparently they don't care about that "copyright" crap as this guy did it too.

    Crappy service, went 1 week without any contact then after I contacted them they coincidentally say they just finished and it's now shipping =.=

    Either way, product arrived and the quality is definitely adequate :)

    I would have liked it to be in one piece though...It arrived in 2 stickers, the left side and the right side. Came out like the skin customizer though so I'm happy.

    For those of you wondering how it looks like (quality is better in person, my 2 megapixel camera did the skin no justice xD):

    It is...SkinIt definitely delivers quality products, and I love how they don't care about the warranty crap :D That or they never heard of StarCraft II...

    Haha, sorry but my 2.0megapixel camera phone is as good as it's going to get xD

    P.S. That little stripe/bump between his legs is not an air bubble. It's the bump from the black area of the m17x R2. That area that kind looks like carbon fiber?

    Wow, drool! I might be purchasing an Alienware m14x, but regardless, how did you find an image that perfectly fit around the Alien head? I'd love to get such a skin for my next laptop.

    If you go on the custom skin configurator then there should be an "outline" for your system. They're forced to make the logo cutout since AW, Dell, etc. forces them to leave the logo. I just took an image from Google (I couldn't find a link to a larger one) , placed it so the cutout would be exactly where I wanted it to be, then I let them do the rest.
