GelaSkins - Cool or not

[telemark948]

I have been looking at the Gela skins to cover my new macbook air when it arrives this week hopefully!!!! But not sure if I should protect the top with a skin from http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/laptops/13_inch_Apple_MacBook_Air_2nd_Gen

I have a sleeve on the way to put it in anyhow, I just thought I would look at these aswel. My wife says it makes it look cheap, while my son says Cool.

I know its all personal opinion, however it's nice to get some other opinions from other users.

So cheap or cool, or something else....

Thanks...

I got a simple dark rosewood skin (decalgirl.com) for my MBA and absolutely love it. One, it adds a distinctive flare, and doesn't scream "I have an Apple product sitting on the table to steal". Half the time it blends in with the wood desks I put it in.

Fairly pleased with it for now.

A lot of them have a little too much flare. I think fake wood is pretty bad way to go. So it's a matter of opinion. Do what you think looks good.

i personally dont like them, but who cares what i think?

and why should you, either?

Wowww, Frank Miller skins!

It's your MacBook, you can customize as you please. I personally get tired of things like these very quickly, and I would never want to distract anyone's eyes from the MacBook Air itself. I can't even bring myself to cover it in clear film.

I remember getting a free skin when I got my VAIO a few years ago, and custom-designed a sweet Spider-man skin. But I took it off a week later despite getting nothing but compliments, because I found it too childish.

As long as you can stay optimistic and say "well, it was good while it lasted" even if you keep it for just a week, it's all good!

I think some of them are pretty cool, but I also like how the illuminating apple logo.

I believe http://www.etsy.com (http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=macbook+air&search_type=handmade) had some really nice ones that integrates the apple logo with it.

Well it arrived today....yes, and It is fantastic....Thanks for the comments, but I'm going to leave it oh natural.... Although I might get a clear cover for where your hand rests when typing, I have to take my watch off, I feel very conscious of typing and scratching the metal..
