MacBook skins - a collection of MacBook skin websites
Submitted by alvin on July 30, 2010 - 2:13am
I've mentioned here before that I'm looking to buy another MacBook for the devdaily.com international world headquarters, and learning that the base MacBook only comes in white led me to the discovery of all sorts of cool MacBook skins (aka, MacBook protective covers, or MacBook covers). Wow -- I knew there were very basic MacBook skins and shells, but I had no idea what a huge market this is.
MacBook skins - a collection of MacBook skins websites
There are tons of MacBook skins websites, but here's a short list of some of the best MacBook skins websites I've found so far. I've given each website a brief section with their own images.
MacBooks skins from DecalGirl
After looking at these MacBook skins websites again recently, the DecalGirl.com website may have the largest collection of Mac and MacBook skins. They have page after page of really wonderful MacBook skins designs.

MacBook skins from MacStyles
I love the brightness, patterns, and messages of the MacBooks skins on the MacStyles website. They don't seem to get into artwork like some other sites, but I really like their simplicity and use of color.

Mac skins from GelaSkins
The artwork on the GelaSkins site absolutely blows me away. Here are just a few example MacBook skins from their website.

MacBook skins from Skinizi
The SkiniZi website also has very good MacBook skins artwork. Their styles are a little different from the GelaSkins site, but I like them as well.

Mac and MacBook skins - summary
After doing the research for this article, I have to say, I'll never look at a MacBook the same way. A plain white MacBook now seems pretty dull, and I can see where adding a MacBook skin makes the MacBook look entirely different.
I'm sure there are many more cool Mac and MacBook skins websites, but I hope these sites give you an idea of what's available out there in the world. The artwork on all of these sites just blows me away. With all these sites, and typical prices below $30, I think you'll be able to find a great skin for your MacBook (or other Mac model).
For your convenience, here's a repeat of the links to the MacBook skins websites I linked to in this article:
