What are those white Apple decal stickers for?

So here's a really, really easy way to get points by answering a question that every Machead but me probably knows the answer to: I just got a new Macbook and these two white Apple logo stickers came with it. What are they for? I mean, my Macbook already has a logo on it. I've found these in previous Apple product packages and never did find a use for them, but this time I thought I'd just ask before tossing them. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), 13" early 2015

The grand prize of Solved goes to stevejobsfan0123 for helping me figure out what to do with these two otherwise useless advertising gimmicks: one will go onto the logo of my laptop to help keep it from getting scratched and the other will decorate the spiral notebook I take notes in when talking to AppleCare.


Here's a MacRumors article I found with a bunch of other suggestions and non-suggestions. The most interesting one is in the middle (scroll down to 'obeygiant'), which uses the stickers exactly as they were meant to be used: <http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-stickers-what-do-you-use-them-for.1691 978/>


Thanks, all.

Although I've had a few of those stickers, in some cases way

outlasting the associated Apple hardware purchase, I've an

idea not so often suggested...


Where there is a white sticker, somewhere

there likely is a white vehicle, with a scratch.


Because I didn't read your link to see if that's been suggested

I can only apologize in advance if someone else did already. 😉

I know this is an old question but I do not believe the answer here answers it correctly. The actual reason is to put stickers where you want. Many people like to put stickers on a Nalgene bottle, a computer, a car, suitcases, and countless other things. This is to show of the company that they like. This is a thing that many companies do that is used as an advertising feature.
