SGP Carbon Skin

I bought another 13.3″ MacBook Pro over the weekend, and since we now have 2 in our house, I decided that I really needed a way to distinguish between the two. I’ve always been a fan of carbon fiber, and I knew SGP was a good brand to use for Apple accessories. I found this SGP carbon skin for my MBP for $21.99 from sgpstore.com and it was on its way.

This video shows the installation process. I gotta say that I really love this skin; it gives a nice feel to my Mac, and it looks excellent. I wasn’t crazy about the way they cut the corners to fit the contour, so I improvised: I used some of the extra material from the outside envelope to cut some pieces to cover the corners. I think it turned out very well!

Here’s a shot of the corner pieces after installation:

I also found a great use for the carbon Apple cutout – it fits nicely on my Mac Mini!
