Blocking the glowing apple on a macbook
 
I'm just on the verge of getting a Macbook Pro 13". The aluminium billet body is what is winning me over and with bootcamp I can still have a windows machine for those things that must be on windows.
The one thing holding me back is the stupid glowing apple on the back of the screen. I hate being a mobile billboard for company logos! I certainly don't want to be an iDork.
Is there anyway to block it that looks neat and tidy?
Does any company sell aluminium cut outs that one could glue into place on the silly glowing apple?

How about not being an iPoser and just getting a PC?

Believe it's just a window to the screen backlight, so the only way is to shut off the monitor (which of course makes no sense) or a sticker or something over it.

Does this mean you wouldn't put the Apple logo sticker on the back of your car?

You may want to check this out. It shows you how to add new logos but I am sure you could open it up and cover up the logo from the inside with something black. Maybe a Black vinyl sticker or a black spotlight gel( I don't know if they make these).

+1

its all PC guts these days anyway. it doesn't make sense to want to throw away extra money for computer fashion and then try to cover it up.

it saves you from buying a very good antivirus software and not have to suffer the effects of it.

Just get a fridge magnet from your kitchen and slap it on your notebook.

If everyone uses common sense then noone needs antivirus software.... so yea, good for you but you dont need to say there is no reason to get a mac.

Every company has a logo on the back of the screen.

Tummy, you forgot the adjectives. ;)

I have a skin on the back of my Macbook Pro that hides the logo. It does shine through a bit, but the skin reduces the visibility. I like the designs from Gelaskins.
