    Hi I was just wondering if anyone w/a TZ (or TX I guess) has gotten a skin from skinit.com? I emailed them to ask this question but they didn't really answer it. I was wondering if the Vaio in the middle is cut out of the skin or does it go over it? They answered that there must be company name showing and it does say sony on the top so I'm wondering if it covers the vaio and keeps the sony? I think the vaio looks cool and would really like to keep it showing...

    no my question was if you go and buy a skinit.com skin is the VIAO cut out for the chrome VAIO on top of the computer? I think it looks cool and I wouldn't want to put a skin on top of that, but if the VAIO was pre cut out of the skin I would get one..

    I would say it covers it. either that or they need to cut a square around it. I doubt they would precision cut the words vaio.

    I use a CooSkin for my keyboard and I like it a lot! Dampens my typing, a funny effect I've grown fond of. :)

    Just received the Cooskin for the keyboard and I must say is better than I expected! Wondering though how it remains stable to the keyboard. It came in the box with some stickers...anyone use them?

    I used the stickies at first, but they left some residue (removable) on my other TZ, so I decided to skip them on my repaired TZ and it's just fine. No need to keep it down when gravity does the job just fine. :cool: :D

    agreed, i have a cooskin also and don't use the stickers. makes it easier for me to pick it up and blow off stuff when it accumulates, as well
