I got fed up of going to conferences and getting some cool stickers that I never get to put anywhere.
The obvious idea is to put them on your laptop, but that can make reselling it difficult, and you lose those stickers if you sell it with them still attached.
So... I’ve managed to find some sticky-backed vinyl that looks almost exactly like the aluminium used on the MacBooks and MacBook Pro’s. I’ve stencilled and cut out a couple of lids and when applied you can barely tell they’re on there. They look awesome.
I’ve had them on nice hot laptops for a couple of months (with cool stickers applied on top) and they peel off fairly easily, but most importantly, leave zero residue.
I’m planning on figuring out if there’s a market for these ‘skins’ and going from there. I’ve take pictures along the way so I’ll put a blog together about it shortly, and gauge interest.
- WildGreenLeave 8y agoI would be interested, that is the exact reason why I'm not putting any stickers on my laptop.
- nniroclax 8y agoThat's pretty neat. My workaround at the moment is to put all my stickers on a hardshell case for the MBP. That way, I can just pop it off if I'm ever ready to sell or just want to look more "professional". I must say though, that the extra bulk of the case can be slightly annoying and I miss the look of the aluminium. I"ll be interested to follow your story!
