Are you bored with your laptop's colour? Maybe you'd like to spruce it up a bit or brand it with your corporate identity?
A new Irish venture is offering bespoke laptop "skins"
Interesting idea, but will it catch on?
I'm almost tempted to get one with the Blacknight logo :)

Its pretty cool. I asked him a few weeks ago about doing skins for towers, which he would consider. Not sure how well it will catch on but no doubt they'll be popping up at tradeshows and lan parties around the place real soon!
It depends on how they pitch it I suppose.. Have they been advertised anywhere?
Not that I'm aware of. I first picked up on it through a series of Wordpress.com related emails before Christmas, could have been for Les Blogs meet in France? If you had dropped him a business card with the word "free" on it at the event you were going to get yourself a nice present for your laptop. Handy way of getting the name out there.
And now a silly percentage of the traffic to this blog arrives here on the search term "laptop covers" ...
I was searching and found another site that does skins. www.customlaptopcovershq.com Looks different. Doesn't appear the site is fully operational, though.
This is antoin from aspoke.com here. A bit belated this comment, but thanks for the link. There are a couple of companies doing laptop skins, but we seem to be the main one on this side of the Pond. Michele, why don't you send us a logo and we will get you a laptop skin, free, gratis and for nothing?
Antoin
Thanks for the kind offer :)
Which format is suitable?
