Ever see those big skins made for laptops?
Don't hey look like they'd be really hard to get back off?
That's the main reason I've shied away from them in the past, but really wanting to add a personal touch to my laptop, I started thinking about some possibilities for customizing it.
These are the considerations I had in mind, if they apply to you too then this is the mod for you! :)
- Variety: I like switching things up according to my mood, so being able to change my laptop's look often is important to me
- Cost: since I'll be using a bunch of different themes I need to make sure that each one isn't too expensive
- Ease of use: switching all these themes should be easy and fast, and since we're talking about a laptop it should be portable too
- Non-destructive: I don't want my laptop to be ruined or ugly whenever I don't want any themes at all, so the part that's on the laptop itself should be low-profile
Thinking about these aspects of what I wanted, I came up with this idea:
Make a way to fasten patches to your laptop
What you'll need:
- Sticky back velcro tape ($2)
- a ruler
- scissors
- any and every patch you like (generally $2- $4 on ebay)

Be sure to get the type of tape with a sticky back, in the image below it's covered by the white paper.
Also be sure that you get both the hoops and the hooks, even though you'll only be using the hooks side once.
