Anyone tried a gelaskin on their new aluminum MacBook?

I was trying to hold off to see if their website posted a new size, but decided to just go with the old size/version because I was worried about cosmetic damage while waiting.

In the past, I have ordered both the skin for the 13.3 and a 15" skin then wrapped and trimmed it. I prefer to wrap it because it prevents it from getting bunched up and peeling. I am sorta wishing I would have gone with the 15" again. But I ordered the piano man and was worried he might not fit if I trimmed.
 
I like Gelaskins selection and all, but I am kinda tired of their pitiful mailing and customer service. And paying almost 10 dollars for a package that will take over a week to get here is ridiculous.

Think I need to stick with stuff that ships from the US. I have ordered from decal girl a couple of times, need to just see what they offer from now on.
 
Here is my skin and how it fits on the new macbook....

Looks pretty cool, I just don"t like that the apple is hidden!
 
I dont see why you would pay so much money for a laptop to cover it up. I want everyone to know i own a MBP, the last thing i want to do is cover the master piece up!

Glad you like it though

I like art.

I dont like ordinary.

I dont really ever think about other people knowing I have a mac. It has never really entered my mind.

But for people who like the apple cut out, Isis Dei has skins with the apple cut out.
