That's what I did on mine. I ordered without the cutout, if I wanted the Apple logo, I used either a vintage logo sticker I had or one from any number of products stuck in the general area. I went with one from a product and slapped it on the Black Swarm skin.I bought the same one you have on your 12.9" for mine (11") just a couple days ago, actually. Looks like it might be grippy without picking up grime. Ordered it without the Apple logo cutout to further minimize scratches since I figure I'll be putting down on a table at least some of the time.
