Friend, Co-worker, and Bronze Level Swimming Certificate holder Shaun Sanderson explains what he's been doing to his MacBook:
"The design is thieved from the cover artwork for Wincing The Night Away, by one of my favouritest bands, The Shins. I absolutely love their albums artwork, and this one I think is my favourite.
Dell are actually selling laptops with some (admittedly quite cool) artwork they've had commissioned, and I was also very impressed with the BatBook Air and since my beloved MacBook has been getting a little battered this semester from being lugged into uni every day, and I wanted something a little unique for it.
To customise the design for my laptop, I took the high-resolution version of the original album cover from the press kit that SubPop records have online for The Shins, and instant alpha'd the various elements out of it, then shifted and rotated them onto a background in Pages to suit the shape of the MacBook screen. The design actually carries round onto the bottom case as well which is quite cool."
As you can see from the picture, this is another great looking customization! In a side note - I encourage you to use the phrase "instant alpha'ed" in your own conversations soon!
Both Shaun's ShinBook and my BatBook were customized using vinyl skins from Unique Skins. Maybe they should think about offering me commission ;-)
Do you have any customizations you want to share with me?
Get it emailed to me!

Wow! That's an amazing Macbook cover... I wish mine looked that cool! I love The Shins, *sigh.*
The Shins "Wining the Night Away" is one of my favourite albums ever :D
