Digital Home Thoughts - News & Reviews for the Digital Home

A few months back, I posted an article on DecalGirl.com skins for the Asus Eee. Since I was so pleased with the first set, I ordered a set for my new Aspire One. Even though the blue finish on the Aspire One is gorgeous, it is a fingerprint magnet and ends up looking pretty yucky, so I figured a DecalGirl skin would be just the ticket. I've got to say, I like this set even better than the first set.

Two really nice things about this set over the set for the Eee are that the decal fully covers the lid and a third decal is included with the set to cover the area between the hinges.

About the only thing I did not like was that even though the extra piece had cutouts for the indicator lights (upper left, above the keyboard) the decal covered the labels showing what each indicator was for. Like the previous set I reviewed, these were top notch in quality and very easy to install. My only other request would be that they make a matching desktop wallpaper available like they do for many of the handheld devices they support. You can get skins for the Aspire One and a large variety of other devices directly from DecalGirl.com.

DecalGirl has been around for a while now providing high quality skins for your various gadgets. When I was looking for a way to dress up my Asus Eee PC, they were my first stop. I was pleased to see that they offered 55 different designs for the Eee. They've got designs to suit most tastes and the coordinate nicely with both the black and white models. I chose the “Bones” skin pictured above. After the break, we'll will get it installed and see how it looks on my black Eee. Read more...

I've been wanting to do something to my Eee to make it stand out a bit (not that its diminutive size doesn't already attract attention when I take it out in public). DecalGirl looks to have just the ticket with 52 skins specifically for the Eee. I've got a review sample on the way, so look for my impressions soon, but if you can't wait, they'll only set you back $12.99.
