Lets see if we can get a thread started on this. Basically I am always seeing clean, white, beautiful Apple products and not many have anything on them that makes them truly unique. I mean yeah they have those Skins available where you can cover the whole thing with one color or one design, but has anyone really tagged up there Mac? Lets all post pictures of our Apple products that we have customized with stickers, paint, etc. I'll start!

Here is mine. it's a bit subtle, but i have a bestskinsever skin on it. Simple and sexy. I don't feel like I need to be an attention whore. (to me, it is like talking just to hear yourself) besides, having a mac sets me apart in and of itself.

(ignore the dust from my lens at 10 o'clock relative to the apple logo)

This isn't the case everywhere. I've got one class of 18 students and 4 of us have white MacBooks and 1 person has a G4 IBook... also white of course. The 2 PC laptop users suspect a conspiracy.

hmm...I can't say that I like what you've done to your macbook...I'm just a really big fan of a nice clean look which is why my macbook is exactly the same as when I bought it...Although I might want to put a simple sticker or something on mine...for example, that white wave sticker on the bottom of yours would look really nice all by itself

I like it! I plan on getting a macstyles skin and then tagging that thing with more decals. Pics will come once I get a few.
