Outside case: invisible skin by BestSkinsEver and/or Speck hard shell case (I have one sitting around, brand enw)
Keyboard: buy from eBay as it is half the price of an iSkin and covers more area (palm rests)
Screen: buy from eBay again, it's about $16 shipped and well worth the money.
I've purchased everything I listed. Great investment for the long run when you want to resell the blackbook as it will be in brand new condition

nice nice.....it takes the Mate look of the blackbook but if it protects it more amen.
One question though.....do you think it's really worth it? it the sking thick enough to protect it against scratches ?

Worth every penny. I've tried using my nail (which doesn't do much damage anyways) and my keys over the skin. The keys don't even leave scratches marks on the skin. Watch the videos on ShieldZone and you'll have an idea as to how strong this material is. Just remember to buy from BestSkinsEver as it is the same product except half the price!
i notice that it is for the top/bottom/inside, but not for the sides (due to curves, i imagine). i would worry about the sides scratching - that's where my old 12 inch pb showed it's signs of my usage before it was stolen. what's your opinion?
Well there's not much you can do about the sides since the superdrive and ports are on the side if you're considering the invisible skin..
there is a solution though, if you don't mind a few millimeters of bulk...Speck Hard Shell Case. It's costly...$50 + shipping but it protects the macbook very well. I actually have one just sitting around. New, unused that I'm willing to sell as I don't have a use for it.
I just got my Foof Bag in from Australia,.. I must say its pretty sweet. If you have not, check out their website. Nothing like a custom laptop case for about 40$ us shipped. Check em out here ---> foofshop.com

What protection did you get for the screen? Can you post pictures and a short description/review?
Apart from hating their website, Crumpler bags are my favorite. I love walking into a corporate meeting with a screaming red Base-Toucher backpack.
I bought from this seller.
Unfortunately I do not have pics because I sold my white Macbook and that had a screen protector. The screen protector I purchased for the black MB was back-ordered so I haven't received it yet. It's at least 99% optically clear as the listing states but I think its 100% clear, I didn't even notice the protector was there! Well money spent for something less than $10 shipped (Though the link may show $11 shipped, he had another listing for less than $10 shipped which I bought for the black MB).
Aren't both serving the same purpose, just differently worded?
I would love a black adapter but unfortunately you have to DIY...not sure about the black dock though...
yea that would be awesome if they had a black power adapter.... then get a black external display, black wireless keyboard and mouse. damn alllllll blacked out would be a sweet setup
im gonna have to do some research on this haha i think it would look sweet all setup black
im gonna have to do some research on this haha i think it would look sweet all setup black
I have an all black setup (minus the adapter)
oooh really? you got a pic of this setup by chance? or can ya post links to which keyboard and mouse you went with? i'm decided on monitor but the keyboard and mouse i'm still searchin for one i want in black.
It's in the "Post your Past/Present Mac Setup" but here ya go.
Apple wireless keyboard with black iSkin. VX revolution (not all black but close enough

Ah, thanks for posting that link. That's the same buyer I just found one thru. It ended up being 12.99 shipped but still, well worth it I'm sure.
