Laptop Skin FAQs
Please note that all our Laptop Skins are made and custom fitted in the U.S. so if your order is not in stock there is a 1 1/2 weeks wait.
What are Laptop Skins and what are they made of?
All our Skins are made in the U.S. They are made of specially developed vinyl with an amazing removable reusable adhesive on the back designed to be removable without leaving any sticky goo behind. It’s truly amazing! They also are designed to lay over any beveled logo and although it may appear slightly raised in the middle it should lay over it with out any problem.
You can change your skins as frequent as you want depending on your mood.
How do I measure the dimensions of my laptop?
Measure the top of your laptop and choose the appropriate size based on the fit you would like. If your laptop is an uncommon size, a larger Laptop Skin can be wrapped over its edges, ordering a smaller Laptop Skin will leave a border or a space around the top of the laptop without any sticker.
Note that you can always trim a larger Laptop Skin to fit a particular laptop.
Please do not forget to also include the make and model of your laptop when filling out the order form together with the dimensions (Width x Height) of your laptop.
I have brand X (or a customized) Laptop from local stores. Is my laptop model still supported?
It doesn’t matter what brand your laptop is. We usually require for the brand models of the laptop to ease up the process of double checking the right fit or dimensions of the Laptop Skins. We have a variety of models and sizes already available for each brand and models of laptop and we’ll custom trim your Skin to your exact laptop or requested dimension. All Skins can be trimmed but we’d be happy to custom cut one specifically for you.
We custom trim to fit any size laptop at no additional charge. Just don’t forget to include the make and model of your laptop when filling out the order form together with the dimensions (Width x Height) of your laptop. We'll custom trim your laptop to your exact specifications.
What if I sent a slightly bigger dimensions and the Laptop Skin that I got is slightly large for my laptop?
No problem! You can always trim a larger Laptop Skin to fit a particular laptop.
How do you apply the Skins?
The Skins are super easy to apply and instructions for application are on the back of the labels. They go on very similarly to a normal sticker but because they are removable, if you make a mistake, simply remove the Skin and start again. Or if you want a more detailed set of instructions, click here.
Are the Laptop Skins removable and reusable?
Removing a Skin is super easy. Simply make sure your laptop is closed and then pull up the Skin starting on one side. The removable adhesive is amazing and makes them a cinch to remove. Again, for more detailed instructions, click here.
How durable are the Laptop Skins?
Our Skins are designed to not only look great but also protect the top of your laptop. All Skins have durable top coating that will protect the image and allow you to cleanly wipe off any dirt or spill that get onto the top of your Laptop. If you get your Skin wet, simply wipe it off. We have tested these under very tough conditions and are confident that they can hold up to normal handling.
My laptop gets really hot. Will this affect my Laptop Skin? Your Laptop Skin will not be affected by the heat. Many laptops run extremely hot. The majority of this heat is on the bottom of the laptop and studies have show heats up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Our Skins are designed for the top of your laptop and are guaranteed to hold up in temperatures up to 140 degrees. Just to give you a sense of how hot that is, according the National Burn Center, you would receive 2nd degree burns after touching something at 140 degrees for 5 seconds.
I have a logo on my laptop, will the Laptop Skin cover it?
Yes, our Skins will go over the logo on the top of your laptop. It is designed to lie relatively flat. You may see a subtle outline of the logo if it extrudes from the top of your laptop but it will look great. We don't trim around the logo but actually designed the product to go over the top of all logos...even the big ole Dell Logo.
I have an Apple notebook that has a glowing apple, will it shine through the Laptop Skin?
Yes, you will still be able to see the apple subtly through the back.
What if I want to remove my Laptop Skin and replace it with a new skin?
Laptop Skins can be stored on any clean non-porous surface when not on your laptop. You can even turn them into artwork by having them framed and hang on your walls.
