I like the idea of using the wrap plastic used for cars, maybe with fancy colours, skipping the stickers. When I am done with the machine I could remove the wrap and have a brand new looking case. Actual hard shell covers do protect the machine but they do get dirt inside that does add wear patterns.

Has anyone done anything really cool with automotive wraps and laptops? Not necessarily on Apple products but on PCs that don't have a tough aluminium shell?
