Would you "Laser Etch" your MB/MBP?

Yeah lol. I'm not taking risks though. I know I'm being stupid and all but until my case arrives, I'm being protective. Not too hard to do.
Oh yeah and I heard about how the speck cases scratch too but only from few people. My teacher has a speck case on his MBP for over a year now and he still loves it and found no scratches at all. So...just to be cautious, I think i will take your advice UltraNEO.
i'd have mine done, so long as they got the laser settings right. i could probably get it done here at uni since my uni is one of the leaders in laser technology, processes and measurement in the world and im mates with most of the guys down in the laser shed.
laser material processes despite having governing equations are still pretty emperical.... ie alot of settings are still found via trial and error! and its multi-multi parameter (you can adjust speed, power, spot size, pulse width, period width etc all to achieve the same effect) lol so id want to know it wasnt about to penetrate through the lid on my mac book pro... that'd be disasterous!

Heck, you could all just buy a Lenovo Ideapad U110, and it would already come nicely etched for you, in black or red... and also with the glassy screen just like the new MB/MBPs...
Has anybody mistaken your MacBook for a serving tray yet?
I kid, I kid. If you dig it, then that's all that should matter...Although the bottom of the MBP does have rubber feet, they don't elevate the machine that much-- it can get scratched: Mine has scruffing when it was placed on a "rustic" type wooden table during a meeting, being slid/passed around. (I think it was the rough grain of the wood.)
Yeah I'd have it done, I think it's hella cool! But I'd probably only do my name and a small insignia.
Personally I would hold of etching your name onto the case cause when you decide to resell the system, it'll be difficult to sell due to the customization. But images, illustrations are ok.. it's like a tattoo
I want to get this done to mine, once the warranty is expired.
That looks kinda cool... I have been wanting to put like decals on mine, but never have. Only thing I don't like about this is that it is permanent.
I mean it looks cool, but ill stick to my VW stickers, at least if i change my mind i can reverse that.
