Silicone Macbook Case (Skin) - Where to buy?

I have been searching everywhere for a soft case (like an iPod skin) for my Macbook. I have seen the decals, skintz, silicone keyboard/trackpad covers, skinit, bestskinsever, etc. I even had the new Speck clear hard case, but it was quite uncomfortable on my wrists and scratched the side of my display. All I am looking for is what is found in these two links:

This is the website - in China

This is a picture

In order to purchase, it appears that you need to be a distributor (minimum purchase of 300-1000!) or you want 1 case with 299 spares...

I have emailed their contact people to no avail. I have checked every site and tried every search I could think of.

Help, please??? Has anyone seen anything like this available for purchase? Thanks so much in advance!!!

(And BTW, my last name is Graham; hence the "Graham Cracker" ID - yes, yes, I know...bad choice...)

Maybe I am your girl... I live in China and yes, I own one case like the one you are looking for. They sell them everywhere -at least here in China. If you do not find it I can send one, but to be honest I do not know how much will it cost. If you are interested, send me an email and maybe we can work something out.

Silicone is a more or less an insulator. The macbook uses fans as well as the bottom of the case to dissipate heat. My main concern would be heat dissipation - as the silicone covers the entire bottom area of the macbook. Further more - as Bricks322 mentioned - the macbook draws air in throught the keyboard area. Combine the two factors and you got a macbook that's hotter than it already is.
It looks wonderfull - but if you're going to make your notebook suffer from heat - it kinda defeats the purpose. You may end up with scratch free toaster 🙂
