Hello,
I was wondering if anyone know here I can find a custom skin for my soon-to-arrive Midnight MBA? I've been looking, but all I've found is dbrand's non-customizable ones. I mainly want it because it will prevent fingerprints and the picture I've chosen( Great Wave off Kanawaga) is pretty cool.
Thanks
-John

Looks like the Matte option is dry install! Good luck get it on perfect with out being able to move it around DRY.. Not sure why the Gloss version is wet applied and Matte is Dry install ?

DBrand skins can be customised, as usual:

Hope they've sorted out their issues, but Slickwraps remains one of the worst companies in the Apple accessory world. Their CEO is a total scumbag as well. I love their retro designs and the clear skin option, but can't justify buying from them ever again.

Will a skin or hard case have an impact on the Air's ability to stay cool?

Do tell. Not interested in doing business with any companies that have issues.
 
Armorsuit.com has a couple of offerings for the M2 MBA at reasonable prices for carbon fiber skins. Look for a discount code on the site for 20% off. Very limited offerings, but for someone simply looking for basic scratch protection, Armorsuit makes some great lifetime warranty skin and screen protector products.
 
I tried the matte clear version from slickwraps and peeled it off after a day. The results were just not acceptable.

Did you dry or wet install? You can make your own wet install solution with simple water and a drop or two of dish soap. Or is the matte skin installation procedure greatly different from the wet install version?

Don't see why a decal/skin couldn't be installed wet style like car vinyls.
 
DBrand skins can be customised, as usual:
DBrand are good quality but not a huge choice of prints and "customisable" means add a microfibre cloth or some extra bits to cover trackpad etc. They do NOT offer option of 'customised' skins ie they won't print your own photo or design. I've used SkinWraps Australia and they were awesome you can design / choose a custom colour and upload logo/artwork etc ; but they don't have the MBA 2022 template (yet).
 
My cousin regrets the blue color on her Air. But for some very weird reason she doesn't mind the fingerprints. According to her they make her Air so much more personal. That's why I lifted her fingerprints from her Air and used them to design a skin. Now she gets the silver colour she so wants AND the fingerprints too!

Can you provide more detail. You tried the newest one for the M2 Air?
Do you put in a sleeve?

Hard to imagine it peeling off but this could be an issue with dry vs. wet install since the matte skin is dry installed.
