Good job Stuart.

... Just thought I would increase my account by a post. This eems like a good place to do it folks, so get your shortest (meaningful) posts posted and advance your posts/day rating!

RoofusPennymore · Nov 3, 2002, 01:46 AM

So where is the how to?

mikellanes · Nov 3, 2002, 02:04 AM

sorry didnt think about pictures until now

Basically

Supplies: Spray Adhesive, Animal Print Fabric (Available at most craft stores, or Walmart) X-Acto knive

1) dismantle iBook
2) cust fabric to size
2) spray adhesive on & attach fabric
3) trim excess
4) re-assemble

tired... must sleep now

buffalolee · Nov 3, 2002, 12:18 PM

Good job on the job. Everytime I see an iBook mod, it makes me want to go and buy one just to "mod it."

euphras · Nov 3, 2002, 02:11 PM

Same for me! I gotta want wone

. Exellent paintjob, congrats!

Your are truely the worst of all posters, you post just to boost your # of post and give nothing to the community.

with that stated I would like to see a fuzzyer fabric used, like 3 inch pink fuzzy stuff would be cool

mikellanes · Nov 5, 2002, 07:10 PM

we were thinking shag, bust couldn't find any

whats up with people and thier post counts? do they think it makes them cool or are they just compensating for smaller number elsewhere?

makes you wonder...

When you mean "actual faux fur" do you mean it's fuzzy? Or is this just a printed-on design?

Apple actually experimented with fabrics (ok, it was leather but...) in considering material to enhance the Powerbooks. This was pre-Jobs, back when Copland was in endless death-throws.

*Daydreams of Tribble-like iMacs FP bases all across the land* Puuurrrr... purrrr...

mikellanes · Nov 7, 2002, 07:19 PM

its furry, made of fabric, id say more than a tennis ball but less than low-pile carpet? nice and soft though :-)

This is also a 600/100 (formerly a 500/66)

sine -''-..- · Nov 9, 2002, 11:35 PM

what happens when the new os x comes out.

CandyMaffia · Nov 11, 2002, 04:15 PM

thats awesome dude!! gee...your ibook is like a jaguar...that eats pc to lunch hehe

icruise · Nov 15, 2002, 04:41 PM

Nice mod. For those interested you can buy iBook covers already in Jaguar patterns (among others) here in Japan.

Exactly how did you get that Apple logo cut out so perfectly? Going to attempt this mod this weekend....

mikellanes · Nov 22, 2002, 12:13 PM

cut from the inside of the case, using a sharp x-acto knife

JoNoiD · Nov 22, 2002, 07:11 PM

both the fur and shag carpet mods are really well done.
good job.

MrBiggs · Nov 24, 2002, 10:55 PM

hey mike thanx for overclocking my ibook, its running great, btw ive seen the book and you guys did a good job. and uh about that other furry ibook, no offense but it looks like you killed a chow for that skin.

mikellanes · Nov 25, 2002, 08:08 AM

Im glad it worked out, it was a bit sketch there for a while, but it pulled thru

appledude83 · Dec 2, 2002, 08:46 PM

Whoa some of those turned out pretty cool. I might have to get to work on my new iBook when it gets here.

mikellanes · Dec 29, 2002, 09:02 PM

Your ibook looks like a frikken vagina. A messed up, hairy-ass, nasty cabbage patch lookin' vagina. Do the chicks dig it?

icruise · Jan 1, 2003, 12:00 AM

I hope you are referring to the green furbook I linked to (not mine, just something I found on the web). Otherwise I'd hate to see the kind of girls you are familiar with -- Jaguar patterned vaginas?

mikellanes · Jan 4, 2003, 06:22 PM

Good luck with that -- selling modded items can be tricky.

Stephane · Jan 6, 2003, 08:57 AM

I am surprised that so few pattern jobs are done. Except for those really fun fur jobs, I rarely if ever saw paint jobs with interesting patterns (on the inside of the ibook shell): is this really hard to do?

I hope some japanese guy could show me professional paint jobs of this kind: japanese macmaniacs are usually much more creative with this kind of mod...

Nyuni · Jan 17, 2003, 04:12 PM

I'd love to do something like this to my Nov 2002 iBook 700, but my question is how reversible is this sort of thing? Is the spray adhesive easy enough to get off of the case without any ill effects should I decide to revert back to its "stock" appearance? I'd hate to be stuck with a spotty iBook and figure out once I'm done that I hate it..

mikellanes · Jan 17, 2003, 07:00 PM

I imagine the adhesive would be a bitch to get off, Im not sure we havent tried yet, anyway will probably be a new fabric next mod

The guys at www.macskinz.com have been working on an ibook skin for quite a while, I have been waiting...hopefully it'll be out soon! the G4 mods they have are killer!

It has been months and months since they first announced those (maybe a year). I wish they'd get on the ball...

Icedevil · Apr 29, 2003, 03:54 PM

that's not a jaguar pattern, thats a leopard pattern, jaguars have small black rosettes in the middle of the circular patterns

who really cares, it was ugly as all hell. Sorry, but it kinda was. Also, maybe this thread will finally end.
