Aluminum shell for iBook (me wanty)

I own an iBook, and it is a lovely machine, but the only problem is IT SCRATCHES SOOOOO EASILY. You can put a set of headphones ontop of the lid, and you'll get about a thousand scratches. Heck, my iBook had scratches when I opened the box ! An Aluminum shell for the iBook would be nice and scratch-proof, but what a hassle it would be to replace it. The little feet, and the screws, and I don't think it would be worth it. What would you do about the battery? Would they sell batteries also?
Just my $.02

The 12" PB is basically the iBook with an aluminum case and a G4 processor...and I do wish you could get that kind of thing...my iBook has like 1000+ scratches (i tried counting once) and I really dislike the white color because it doesn't match any of the other computers I have except the iMac.

Haha, I tried to do the same thing. There are just little rings of scratches all over it. It used to bother me, but I think I got over that. In the next revision of the iBooks, they need to change out the 'skin'. If someone came out w/ an aluminum re-casing for the iBook and it was affordable, easy to put on, and matched the rest of the iBook, then I would buy it in 5 seconds. But I think that is highly unlikely.
