Advanced Peek: PCW StickerMule Laptop Skin

I’m picky about what I affix to my laptop. It is, after all, my precious. This custom PC Weenies laptop skin (from StickerMule) for my Macbook Pro 13″ made the cut. Initial impressions: The cut and fit of the skin is nice and it applies onto the laptop’s surface really easily. The skin exudes a gloss finish and uses a reposition-able adhesive.

While adequately packed, my laptop skin initially came with a rather noticeable crease (no doubt caused by the UPS delivery service). You can see it on the right in the image below. (StickerMule promptly issued a $10 credit within minutes of contacting them.)

My initial concern over the crease quickly faded when I noticed that the crease disappeared after I applied the StickerMule skin to the laptop’s surface.

Initial impressions after applying the StickerMule skin can be summed up as: WOW!

The skin is made from a premium reposition-able adhesive that’s easy to remove. I was able to test this first hand while initially aligning the skin to the laptop. If I need to remove it later on, I can do so safely and easily. The skins are not designed to be reused. You can see the Apple logo light appear through the material, but this doesn’t bother me.

But I really, really like how it looks (and my daughter loves it!) so I’m going to be on my Macbook Pro for quite some time. Right now, I have the 13″ Retina Macbook Pro skin available for order on the StickerMule marketplace. If there’s any interest, I can make these available for sale for the 13″ Macbook Air, 15″ Macbook Pro Retina, and 11″ Macbook Air models. Unfortunately, PC versions aren’t available, or I’d offer those too.
