Is HP Skins a good option??
I have some HP wallpaper images in 1280x800 size and want to have them on my notebook rather than the Radiance imprint finish. Is it advisable to go with HP Skins?? Are the easily removable without damaging the actual Radiance finish or are interchangeable for different looks of my notebook for different days???
Would 1280x800 resolution be good enough to custom print the skin for 15.4" screen notebook??

Re: Is HP Skins a good option??
The HP Skins are pretty darn good. I got one for my DV8000 and it's very easy to remove and replace or adjust. Since I've had mine for 6 months now, I've had faint scratches on it but, they are only noticeable in harsh light. Otherwise, you might want to get a higher resolution background for your skin. Oh and also if you have a dv1000, dv5000, or dv8000, don't get a skin with the hp logo on it because, you can take the hp silver sticker off the laptop, apply the skin and place it back in the same spot again.

Re: Is HP Skins a good option??
I am using dv6000 series and I love brown color exterior on notebooks instead of black, so I thinking of getting skin of both the images that I posted in first post of this thread. So does it mean I can order both skins and use one first day, and next day I can take it off and put on another and interchange them?? I thought they use some kind of glue or sticky thing to stay in place that can go bad with taking it off multiple times... isnt that the case??

Yes they do use glue to stick onto the Laptop but that doesn't harm your laptop body at all. And no you can't just peel of one an put another and then paste back the first. Well you can theoretically do that but it won't stick as nicely as it would the first time!

Does HP have skins to cover inside also? (the sides of mouse and keyboard; palmrest area)?
