leather on backpanel

#1 Post by vavet » Tue Sep 08, 2015 7:04 am

Have been thinking about nice leather on the LCD back for a while, but the only option I could find was a simple decal from ebay. So I decided to visit a leather shop while visiting home town during the vacations.

here are the initial results:

then after some fitting and adjustment it came to this:

I am still planning to enhance the look a bit, so comments and suggestions are welcome.

Part of me says "Looks good" while the other says "make it a bit more like the leather case on the X61 Reserve Edition". :D

Well, the idea is to keep it compact. The protection is not my main goal actually, just to make it look more classy. Besides, knowing the heat issues of x6x I wasn't even thinking to cover the bottom vents.
