I would put them on a covering case, I would never put them directly on the laptop.

I would and i do, but only very specific stickers viz:
voided warranty and intrusion detection labels, especially if the laptop directly contributed to the voiding
the sticky bit for testing dockets
offensively reduced hardware pricetags
so trophies more than stickers really

I hope to have it so covered in tat that it can be borderline waterproof (and thoroughly unattractive to casual thieves), but thats years ahead >.>

Seems like most people refuse solidly.
Well, honestly, if your spending money on decorating your machine your a little too concerned with the look of it. I think we can all agree that if your going to spend money on your computer, it should be going -faster-

Yup! I love putting a sticker on the lappy. It’s like a tattoo though, a bit of thought’s gotta go into it. Not a fan of grunge stickers though.

For me, it’s all about a central theme…
So, my last lappy (a MASSIVE 15inch Compaq) had the Brainy Smurf across the front, always got a cool reaction.
This one, an Asus Eee PC 901, has a custom-made white Fisher-Price sticker for the shiny black lid.

I sort of liken this to tattoos or bumper stickers on cars. I have seen some really cool tats on other people but just haven’t (yet) had the guts to get one myself.

And I’ve seen some really funny bumper stickers on cars but have never had a need, want or desire to put one on mine (although magnets are completely different though).

So, as far as laptop stickers go, I have to say, when it comes to OTHER people’s laptop, I think stickers are pretty cool. But no… I haven’t been able to even CONSIDER putting a sticker on my laptop and it’s getting up there in age (Mac iBook G4).

I had stickers on my old Thinkpad, but I pulled them off (and cleaned the case with alcohol) before I sold it…it was only 2 or 3 though.

I went with a Schticker: http://www.schtickers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=185 ; Decorative, yet easily removable should I decide I don’t want it anymore. :)
