You sure spent a lot of money to cover up the beauty of what you paid for.
Dear Lord.
But I do hope you like it.

LOL this is insane I haven't see so many posts about something that a guy definitely wouldn't understand I am agree that the interior looks tacky but anyways

I'm a guy and I understand. That skin would have looked much better if it lacked those big flowers that take away from the pattern. Other than that, it does look a little funky, especially on the interior. However, if you like it, great! Furthermore, that skin will do a great job protecting your mac from any scratches..PROTECTING the resale value.
In my opinion, not in a good way. To each their own. Kudos for doing something unique.
"Never discuss taste with people." The same goes for ethical and moral issue. It is "nothing but fishing in that troubled sea of values and totalities."
That MBP's owner is--in my opinion--screaming for a personality, any personality, to the point of begging for one. I see second-hand cars with fluffy six-sided dice hanging in pairs from time to time...

With that amount, you could probably have one of the two, but not both at once. Some people stick a Mac icon on their non-mac laptop, but to what effect?
Sorry, but I don't think you have to be a guy to find it ugly. It's not just the design but color too, and way overdone. For me, my laptops should be silver, black or white -- period.
I am going to apply the military-grade InvisibleShield which is thin but very strong and gives a slight gloss and grippy feel. It can be removed and leaves no residue. It is the most expensive (but best) film out there. The military uses it on helicopter blades to prevent damage. I have it on my GPS touchscreen and can use both fingers and stylus with ease.

If you want to change the outer design or color temporarily, try the new snap-on shells by Speck or Incase. I may use the Incase black shell when they come out for the new MBP when I do DJ/VJ/KJ gigs with all my black audio equipment and also providing an armor against impact out on the job, where moving & packing lots of equipment quickly can be hazardous:

Otherwise, I will have that completely scratch resistant InvisibleSheld top, bottom, sides and hand surface w/trackpad, the iSkin ProTouch for the keyboard to prevent oily wear, discoloration and hair and dust getting lodged around keys (clear/frost color)

...and even an exact custom-fit sleeve like this one, that still fits nicely in an outer bag or carrying case:

I also ordered the new version of the LaptopLaidback. I have the original solid maple version, but this black acrylic one is lighter for transport and matches better. It also fits in a full-sized computer case.

There, I think I'm totally covered!

I would NEVER get anything done because I would go into seizure every time I sat down to work. LOL
The one on the lid looks cool, dunno if I'd want that same pattern EVERYWHERE on my laptop. Seems to make the "brilliant glossy screen" look less exciting.

I like it, the inside isn't so great, but I definitely like the outside cover, the inside would probably end up distracting me after a while as i was typing.
Each to their own though, if you like it you like it, if you dont like it you don't like it, if you want to fit in you join the biggest crowd and cheer loudly and pretend you were here from the start.
Silly Picard, what are you doing on MacRumors, it's not 4chan, you look so out of place.
