Applepeelz film covers

Glyphix is shipping applepeelz, a series of protective film covers for Apple's entire range of current notebooks and the Mac mini. Applepeelz use an 8 mil "self-healing" Scotchgard film originally designed by 3M for the defense department to protect the leading edges of helicopter rotor blades. The covers are entirely translucent, and allow unfettered access to all ports. The films are easily removable, and increase traction on slippery surfaces when applied to the bottom of the device. Applepeelz for MacBook and MacBook Pro are priced at $20 to cover the lid as well as the bottom of the notebook, while "whole peelz" are available for $50 which also cover the trackpad, button, and surrounding palmrest. A "Mini Top" cover ($8) is also available for the Mac mini, and the company offers "Otherpeelz" providing coverage for the video iPod as well as the Apple remote.
