If you have some extra $ lying around and you want to make your iPad more unique, ColorWare may be the answer. They will give your iPad a custom paint job. A little too pricey for me, but still cool.

Design your custom paint job here.

I like the look of my IPad, I could not paint it. I just would not trust that.

I'd really like to see a good steampunking.

only $400....LOL.

Painting aluminum doesn't seem very smart does it?

Do they replace the body or just paint it? What kind of paint wouldn't chip off....and doesn't it take like 4 weeks to get it back?

Prepwork is the secret to painting metal. And then a protective finish like a clear polyurethane to coat it all helps keep it unscathed. But you still have to care for it like any car finish. A little wax maybe!

Wouldn't even be able to see it if (and why wouldn't you ) you case your iPad...lol

True but as any jewel you got to take it out sometimes!

I like mine just the way apple made it...they did it right..why change it?

To make it your own and only. No worse than a sportscar or custom bike... :shrug:

What do you think they make planes out of? Or mountain bikes? Or Coke cans?

yeah but those are done to parts pre-assembly? Is this company going to take the iPad apart and then put it back together? Do they guarantee your iPad?

I'd have a tough time justifying that to myself based on the price alone. Maybe Apple will offer different colored iPads OTB eventually.

The only thought that comes to mind is "WHY"?

I think it is beautiful. I would totally do it if the price was not so prohibitive and I did not have two burning concerns.

1. The Ipad's Warranty
2. Transmission of wireless signal

Oh yeah,

For those that don't get then it was not meant for you. Don't crap on the idea or the concept that different people like different things. Image is big to me, not $400.00 big, but important none the less. I live in Miami where everyone drives $100,000 dollar cars even if they work at McDonalds.

Don't hate because we also have the hottest women. I digress

I live in LA...the place im working at right now has 2 Ferraris in the parking lot. Whats your point?

joke mode: On

I live in Singapore, right behind my window i see my giant swimming pool …

Whats the point ??
Joke mode: Off

one of my friend have made pure carbon fiber shape for iPhone 3G/ 3Gs he sold the full devices 2000 Euro he sell 65 pcs in one year without any advice only by present it in 2 shop in Geneva (swiss)

Now he is working in iPad carbon case …. i believe he will sell a lot the price doesn’t matter when is question to be different …

by the way their color scheme of ColorWare is ugly

i'm with you there and don't even have an iPad yet, (waiting in aus here) but the same for my iPhone, i could never do that to it lol

If you are so consumed with image, and living in Miami, where the women are so hot, why are you sitting there posting about an IPad?

I like the colors and think it would be nice to paint it, but right now I am just having fun playing with it, and would not want to loose it for the time it would take to get it painted, not to mention the freaking out that would ensue if they messed it up!!
