I walk into york and realize that almost every other laptop is an ibook.

Any suggestions to "personalize" and customize the exterior?

Automotive Trim :) Maybe a Spoiler? :D

hah, hah, hah... oh... that's just punny.

Magic Marker.

Get some kindergardeners to draw on it.

just make sure you get a Mr Clean Magic Eraser :)


Actually. Weren't there some sort of coverings you could buy for ibooks? Like flames? Skulls?

Best one word answer I've seen.

Thanks a lot.

Mod the glowing apple colour to something else, put a subwoofer in it...and throw in some NOS....if you really want some speed...wait this isn't a car...lol

Duct tape. Hockey tape.

Check out my post about changing the apple logo colour (http://www.ehmac.ca/showpost.php?p=262807&postcount=12).

Here's (http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/ibook_mods/ibook_paint_mod.html) one about scraping off the paint. Then you can paint it a different color. And here's (http://norum.homeunix.net/~carl/mods/paint/)more.

Trade it for a powerbook

I here that for every Nos sticker you put on your iBook it increases the speed by 1GHZ

How about a cowbell?

You could probably sand the exterior lightly, and deck it out with a new paint job.
And Intel Inside sticker would do the job.

since you are going to be decking out your ibook with every automotive accessory canadian tire has to offer, don't forget the air freshener.

That's for the original iBook. Can't do that anymore.

You guys are straight cold.... I know for sure this guy wanted real answer and now you have given him advice on how to sup up his laptop into a car ready to drag race in the next fast and furious movie....

www.macskinz.com

they've gotten good reviews, but theyre not currently in stock.

i have the flames for my ipod.

Yes you can but the paint is not on the inside of the cover. You have to remove the outer shell and scrape of the paint from the inside and paint there.

And of course void your warranty.

When we got my sister and her husband identical iBooks, he promptly went to the nearest craft store and bought a sheet of ant stickers and plastered them all over his - my sister hates ants and wouldn't go near his computer after that :D

Get a Dell! :D

Get a Dell! :D
Yep.
Now, it's;

Think Different - Dell

:)

Get a Dell! :D

hey, I've got a deal for you. I have a barely used, blazing fast, Avaratec running WinXP - it's the same size as my PowerBook and if you squish up your eyes, it could be mistaken for a PowerBook and I'll trade you straight up for that iBook.

I'll even pay for shipping both ways :D

Man I am amazed macskinz stays in business, they have been working to bring back the skinz for ibooks and powerbooks for the last year or so. I have given up getting one.

Hmm maybe the magic marker idea is good.... ;)

Edit - Oh boy, just read the reason (http://www.macskinz.com/MACSKINZ/story.html) they have had delays. Wow I am impressed they have kept with it.

LOL.

That's a great one.

H!

seriously though, you a hot mod, do what that cat did with the iPod, and give it some wood paneling somewhere.

And I say this simpply because I got my hands on this watch that I wanted badly from Nixon - and the watch is made entirely of wood: walnut panels to be precise.

I get stopped errrrwhere I go with this thing. So, that's my mod suggestion. But I am glad to see more and more with the iBooks. It's such an awesome lap. :D

H!

I can see it now, nail on some plywood, slap on some redwood deck stain and away you go.

You would get stopped a lot and asked "what's in the box?"

Margaret

Its easy just switch schools...

I saw a modded Kill Bill ibook, it looked just awesome.

Do you own a camera, by any chance?

LOL kill bill, ironic on a mac.

That's for the original iBook. Can't do that anymore.


does anyone know if the lids for that old ibook will fit on the latest version? If so then you could paint it how you like it stick it on your new ibook. Anyone thought of trying this?

i don't get it, the update says the skinz for powerbooks and ibooks "are ready to go" yet there are no designs on the site yet...

edit: i just read the faq's and it looks like they are not actually ready yet...

but I found this

www.supermediastore.com/isuit-for-ibook-12-dalmation-replacement-lid.html

I found a used one on ebay for 30 bucks, but new your looking at over $100 plus shipping overseas. some cool designs though...

Canadian Tire has a wide range of decals. I was thinking of getting one for my kids iBook. Lots of flame options but I was more interested in the Japanese characters. You might want to check them out.

1 word. Stickers!

Are these decals made to go on your car?

Yeah, I haven't found any stickers I want to put on my book...

btw welcome to Ehmac!

i believe this is what your after:

Yes they are. But I believe they are easily removable. Obviously you will want to review any application procedure before deciding what goes on your iBook.

Some super sweet i and power book mods here. the Eve is my personal fave. I'm thinking about doing similar with the paint scheme. Not the girl tho.. but the paint is super sweet.

If I ever do it, I'll post it as my avitar ;)

and yes, it does void the warrenty pretty good , but imagine the look on the service guy's face when he gets that in :D

What about making a design then taking it to a print shop and get it printed onto stickers? Etch something into the case, do the Apple colour replacement, paint, umm is the plastic clear or white? if you can somehow get the white off the clear plastic you could put a different colour in.. a Black iBook would look pretty friggin sweet.
