    I wanted to see if some of you have skinned (or put stickers) on your Pixelbook, or left it naked? For those that have left it naked, how has the casing held up?

    Edit: I've been thinking about doing this before my Pixelbook arrives. My wife has a dbrand skin on her MacBook Air (metallic gray) and has held up well, and I had a carbon fiber skin (don't recall the brand) on my old MacBook Pro that got scratched up over time, but protected the laptop itself.

    What skin did you go with (dbrand, Xtremeskins, Slickwraps, etc.)? Got a pic of it with the skin?

    ^^^Nice! I happen to pick the same color combination before I saw your picture. Same as yours: back, trackpad and bottom in Hyperblack Titanium, glass in Matte White, Google logo in red. It's essentially the reverse of my panda Pixel 2 XL.

    Sorry if I inadvertently copied your look.

    For those of you that did skin their Pixelbooks, did it affect the wireless signals by covering the glass portion?

    Is it the consensus that DBrand is the best?

    Very similar to Itsa_Me_Mario's, but here's mine covered in a dbrand skin, next to my panda Pixel 2 XL...


    You can also look at Xtremeskins, but I don't know how good a quality their skins are.

    If it wasn't for kids, pets, and any chance of it getting scratched by the elements, I'd certainly keep mine naked too! So, putting the skin is for its protection, and giving it a bit of flair at the same time.
