(Couldn't decide whether to put this here or in the Customs section...hopefully I guessed right)
So, I have a macbook, which I like just fine (...though I'd probably have gone PC if I had it to do over again), but I'm not part of the Cult of Apple, so I've always hated having a big, glowing Apple logo on the back of my screen. I seem to be the only one, though, since every case I could find was either clear or had a special cut-out made just for the stupid apple. I could have just put a decal over it, but unless you get a super-thick one, the apple glows right through (I've seen others try it). I've also never liked the white case (I wanted black, but it was only available in the more expensive Pro model). So I decided to customize myself a better Macbook hard case. I settled on the Firebat's paint scheme since I've always loved the Firebat, the winged cobra logo, and the black/crimson combination. It's just a hard case, so it's removable if I ever get sick of it. I made it from a cheapy clear hard shell I bought on ebay and a vinyl decal from cool graphix online (who do great work, but take forever to ship). I applied the decal to the inside and then painted over it (again, on the inside of the case) so I wouldn't have to worry about chipping or peeling. It also gives it a great mirror-like shine. All in all, I'm happy with it. I just wish I could get the inside to match. |
