I know I'll sound cynical for saying this, but it seems fake to me. The detail around the apple logo doesn't match with the rest of the pictures. The edge of the computer is slightly fuzzy (the camera's fault) but the apple logo is crisp. This is most visible in the second shot.

Just seems unnatural.

Cool idea, though.
Love that chicken.®

Fake carbon fiber is about as cool as a fake rolex IMO.

yea, i was just thinking that its' fake too...Mostly because in the second picture the edge of the apple logo looks...strange. And also the edges of the macbook are grey but it seems like the sticker ends before that...
