That’ll be good for keeping the laptop clean. I do wonder which one would look best with sage.

Those skins look pretty good but won’t they hide the pretty sage color that I picked?

I almost regretted going for bubblegum after I saw the obsidian skin. Almost. :joy_cat:

By the way, on the Dbrand instruction page How To » dbrand, there are links to the Framework Laptop 13 and 16, but there is not a link to the Framework Laptop 12.

I wanted to put a DBrand skin on mine, bus as of the cracking-issue I’ll wait some time to see if there will be some defects. With the skin we will not see it it breaks until its totally done.

I’ve been using my 12 now for long enough that I think I don’t have the cracking-issue. But I have a question: I’m contemplating buying the Glow Circuit glow-in-the-dark skin, which doesn’t seem to have a cutout for the Framework logo. How do these skins handle the slightliy recessed logo? Doesn’t it look nasty as soon as you apply some pressure on the cavity between the case and the skin?

Don’t buy the glow circuit skin for framework 12. I bought one and they cut it at a slight angle. So the pattern is tilted. I bought the same skin for my framework 13 and iPad mini and they don’t have this issue. I ordered the framework 12 glow circuit skin in July and did not notice this until I applied the skin this month. I contacted support and they sent me a replacement. I got the replacement today but the replacement has the same issue. There is a very high chance that they are still from the same batch since framework 12 is quite a niche product and only a fraction of owner will buy the same skin. If you buy one now, it is very likely you will have the same issue.

As for the logo, you are supposed to heat up the skin and apply pressure so that the skin forms the shape of the recessed logo. I think it looks fine on both my framework 13 and framework 12. (minus the tilted pattern of course) I cannot even see the logo unless the light is at the right angle the reflect at the logo.
