Update Your MacBook's Look

I think we all know that those beautiful [plastic] MacBooks are finally on their way out. It's a sad day, but this is the truth. In case time wasn't reason enough, the new line of all-aluminum iPods was basically the final nail in that coffin. With metal Macs on the way, what can you do to update the look of your computer?

There's a couple of new skins on the market that I'd like to cover. The first is more or less a form of direct denial and desperation, mimicking actual aluminum Macs. The Shimura MacBook Metal Jacket is exactly what it sounds like, concealing the entire MacBook in metal except for the crucial status symbol (AKA the Apple logo).
With this 'jacket', the ports are all left open so you can access them regularly. Also, the whole mechanism has a carry handle on the top, so it doubles as a carry case on the cheap. I'll let you decide whether or not that's a good thing. Pricing and colors are to be announced.

The next skin comes from Iamhuman. They're hitting you up with some crazy, nature-reminiscent vinyl skins. The designs featured at the top of this post include zebra and wood, though there are said to be others. Prices on these babies range from $30—$45.
