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:

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

Looks very good so far.

Good idea

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

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.
