I haven’t noticed any heat issues, and all the vents that should be free are uncovered. The wood is great for stopping the usually slippery MacBook from squirming out of your hands when getting it out to use. One of the directors at the center is thinking of skinning the whole workforce’s laptops with Toast skins, that’s just the impression that it makes on people.

It might not protect quite as well as the shock cover that was on, but it looks 1000x better. It’s now firmly on my wife’s MacBook Pro, turning heads and protecting it from dings and bumps. Honestly, I’ve had screen protectors that took more time to apply than the Toast skin. Where else could you get custom work done with that kind of backing?Īs you can see in the replaced images (black background), the fit was perfect once I knew what I was doing. I emailed Toast, and they kindly sent out a replacement bottom skin, under their ‘butterfingers guarantee.’ If you have issues installing your skin, they’ll replace it free of charge – with no questions asked. Now, in some of the light background images, you can see some minor fit issues – these were caused by my butterfingers installing the bottom cover.

The skin survived the shipping process fine, and I put it on. Overall it took about a week from initial design to getting the cover in hand, which is pretty good going for custom work. Once that was all finalized, the cover joined the queue of other skins to be produced. We wanted to make a couple of minor changes in placement, and remove the logo, and our designer was more than happy to oblige. The only limit is your imagination and the size of the device you’re skinning.įirst, they sent a mockup to us, to show us how it would look and waited for our okay before they laser-etched the design. We decided on a minimalist etched design, but we could have gotten inlays for the piano keys or even metal inlays. Toast worked with us all the way through the design process. Then there’s the piano motif, as the piano has been a huge part of her life since before she can remember. Putting a wood skin on such an industrial design spoke to us. My wife’s MacBook Pro is your standard aluminum slab, so being able to personalize it is a big thing. There’s wooden watches, inserts in headphones, and the usual items like desks.

You’d be forgiven for thinking it’s the 80’s all over again, because wood is back in a big way. When they reached out again to see if we wanted to look at a skin for a different device, I jumped at the chance. We’re already fans of Toast here at KnowTechie, Josh Knowles is still getting compliments at Publix on his Samsung Galaxy 9+ skin.
