Does anyone make a clear skin for a W520?

I googled this a bit for you and didn't find anything... except a suggestion to try 3M Scotchcal clear film. This is used to protect paint on cars, sort of like an invisible "bra" on the nose. It's pricey at $50 up but being sized for cars, that gets you a piece around 4'x5' or 2'x10' which would be enough for a *lot* of notebooks.

Worried about scratching the paint?
I actually covered all the logos and such on mine with black hockey tape, the nicer and more expensive it looks the more likely someone is to run off with it.

You're not going to scratch the rubberized finish easily, it's not an Apple laptop that scratches when you look at it funny.
