i tried clingfilm and it wouldnt stick,it stuck to me,to itself in fact everything but my ipad,someone has used clear sticky back contact paper,the sort that comes on a roll from stationers,dont know how it works long term tho,you know,any residue or detriment to the aluminum back

Hmm.. Surely there is some kind of advanced 3M adhesive on the market that would allow for easy removal from surfaces such as the iPad/MacBook Pro. At that point it would just be the question of 'what' one would apply and less 'how'.

its worth thinking about,i mean the prices that are charged for what is after all just plastic

Yeah, very true..
Not to mention that you will have a finished product that is all-together unique and irreplaceable! Food for thought, no doubt!

Hi everyone,

this is my first post but thought I'd jump in as I wondered if you'd thought of car body wrap. Comes in black white carbon etc and isn't expensive for a massive great sheet and can be shaped to fit the curves and cut with a sharp blade.

if you want an idea of how to fit car wrap search youtube for geekwraps they've got some good tutorials! (Up to you but I wouldn't use a blow torch as they have in their vids lol)

hope that helps.

Try Griffin, I've got the mil spec rubberized cover that comes with the screen cover. It has a plastic inner shell that protects the iPad itself. This is covered with a rubber cover with flaps covering all the open ports. Love it. http store.griffintechnology.com/ipad/survivor
