I recently got a new white macbook, because apple wouldn't update my old one to anything higher then a 80GB HD. But i used to have a skin which i put on the front (cause we all know how the front of a white gets scratched). But when i took it off the old laptop it took away some of it's stickyness, and i can't buy the same one again, since it looks like it's stopped being sold.



This is the one i had before, i really liked the fact that it had the apple logo cut out, so i was wondering if anyone knows where i can but a skin similar to this one or this same one, I would prefer the apple logo cut out

I have a first gen white macbook, and it was having trouble loading up the adobe software and was just generally a bit crap. So i phoned up Apple and they told me that the highest HD i could update to was an 80 GB, and 2GB of ram. Well i had already got 2 GB of ram, and my HD was a 40 GB so i didn't see much a point in paying about 100 pounds to have a new HD installed.

They also didn't tell me my apple care was gonna run out this year, I had my macbook a year and then i took out the apple care, but i thought it started from the day i bought the apple care, but it didn't, the apple care started from the day i bought the mac.

So instead of paying around 300 pounds to update an old machine I decided to buy a new mac, i'm planing to sell it on ebay in a few days. But i need a new skin to go on the front of my new mac so it doesn't get all scratched, preferable places that ship to the uk guys but thanks so far

After reading this thread I searched a bit and found a good selection of skins at iStyles.

I'm also looking at something for the wrist rest but apart from a $50 product that covers the whole MacBook (I have a late 2007 model) I cannot find any other company that does MacBooks wrist rests that is still in existence. Ideally it would cover the sharp edge where the screen meets the body. Anyone?
