Vinyl skins for keyboard/wrist rest area..possible alternative.

So at first i was just being paranoid about the yellowness of the wrist rest then came the reports others were having the same problem, well luckily mine wasnt as noticeable as others have experienced however it was still annoying nonetheless so i tried non acetone nail polish remover unfortunately that stuff left my wrist rests and the entire surrounding areas even the mouse button with a light blue tinge so now what to do save buying a replacement keyboard and upper casing for 160 bux hmmm i was thinking and i was lookin at my nano and cell phone and hey the thought popped into my mind why dont we try to contact some of the skin manufacturers to manufacture skins in white or other colors to apply to the keyboard area/wrist rests.. i mean if it can be done for the ipod why not the macbook anyone else think this would be a good idea??

Macbook 1.83, Mac OS X (10.4.6), 2GB Hitachi 100 GB 7200 RPM

Dig around in the messages. Several companies have already been listed. The one below is the more interesting to me. The product listed is used to coat helicopter blades. Contact the fellow at the website. He tells me that a product for the MacBook will be ready "real soon now".

The company MacStyles.com offers custom lid and wrist-rest skins in lots of colors. They took down their website about a week ago and it's supposed to relaunch in about 4 days with their new line of MacBook specific skins.

I haven't ordered from them before, but I'm keeping an eye on their site myself, especially with the reports of staining on the wrist rests...
