I have installed my bottom skin.
Also, because I didn’t get my expansion card skin, I just hacked something up lol.
It’s my first time doing laptop skin so it’s not the best

Looks good.
I feel like they could’ve easily made the bottom front part a separate piece (to be attached as a single “U” piece).

I got everything but the trackpad. All the same carbon black color. :+1:

I agree that the U on the bottom should have a skin for it. Kinda looks a little odd without it.

I totally agree. I wish they could’ve done a better job but oh well.

I went with a combination of mahogany and matte black. I do kinda like the rougher texture on the touchpad.

I’m typically against putting stickers on anything, but the lid skin looks sharp.

How difficult is the alignment and application process?

I like the cover, but the bottom and the inside not so much. I least this has caused me to refine my tastes.

For those who have skinned their trackpad, how has it affected sensitivity, tactile feel, and overall performance?

I like this combo. Looks sharp. I’m considering either this exact combo, or all Hyperblack Titanium with a matte black trackpad.

I had no idea the skins had such realistic textures pressed in. That wood grain looks phenomenal.

It’s very easy. Their instructions, bad jokes aside, are very good. Framework Laptop 13 Skins » How to Apply » dbrand

I did not use a hair dryer at all.

dbrand has x-ray skins for a lot of phones. would love to see them offer it for the framework. especially considering it’s a laptop based on accessibility.

How’s the accuracy of the track pad tracking after the skin install?
Exactly same as without the skin?
Small accuracy loss?

I honestly can’t say there’s any issues after applying the track pad skin. I can press fairly lightly and it detects everything fine. I don’t see any noticeable difference between with or without.

It’s been well worth it to be honest.

Thanks for the feedback!

Kinda hilarious how I can order skins before I can order actual laptop.

Has anyone tested to see if adding a bottom skin affects thermals at all?
