Clear Laptop Skins? Do they exist?

Well I am wondering if there are any companies that make clear notebook/laptop skins?

I am looking for one that covers the back of the screen and the actual screen.

I just want to protect the notebook from any future blemishs.

I like the looks of the notebook so thats why I want a clear skin.

I will appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance everyone!

Awww I was hoping to come in and see a thread about clear laptop cases. As for a sticker to protect your laptop I dont know any reputable companies sadly. Im sure there are places out there that make something that will fit your needs.

zagg.com is known for there protective films. I have one on my 17 MBP. Pain to put on but it gives me major piece of mind.

Note: any clear skin will change the finish to whatever the appearance of the skin is. Zagg/BestSkinsEver/[other products that use similar material] tend to yellow with age and develop an orange peel texture when they dry. Incredibly durable, but it just won't look the same.

I checked with zagg invisibleSHIELDS and they have quite a few, but they dont have one for the Dell 1564 I just ordered.

I also found out that Ghost Armor has skins too. They actually have one for a Dell 1564 for $39.99. I am not to familiar with Ghost Armor though.

You can get invisible SHIELD and cut it to your laptop size. That could work

Best Skins Ever is awesome and much cheaper.

I'd imagine that this might be a cheaper solution. Find a local sign shop that does vinyl work. Bring in your laptop and ask if they can cut you a piece of clear high-performance vinyl. Shouldn't cost more than a couple dollars.

I used to work at a sign shop and we did alot of vinyl work. We always had small pieces laying around that we really couldn't use.

Once something is made with a specific intention, like a company that sells what they call "skins" they can charge more. When all they are doing is cutting sheets of vinyl, slapping a name on them and overcharging.

BTW, make sure you ask for high-performance vinyl. That type of vinyl is similar to the vinyl that automobile manufacturers use for pinstriping and lettering on vehicles.

Let me know how you make out.

Great idea! I will check out the local vinyl shop here in town that does signs, and report back next week after I've had a chance to get'er done!
