Normally we used to talk about mobile phone skins and casings, but now the idea has been adopted by Laptop industry as well – as we can now find diverse variety of colors and topics for laptop skins’ available out there in the market.
Laptop skins are usually the “Glossy Poster created with high quality printing”. The idea is evolving everywhere in the world, including UK, USA and other countries. In UK, laptop skins can cost you around 44 pounds but in Pakistan you can get them in Rs. 200 to 350 only, from Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad.
Laptop Skins are usually a vinyl stickers made of adhesive material and good protector for laptop back side of LCD screen or front of Lid of Laptop. They can easily install and remove without having any sticky residue on the surface of lid or anywhere else and these skins are soft and glossy like you bought a new laptop of “Asus Style Series” having metallic glossy look.
There are certain specifications required to order laptop skin as every laptop model has different dimensions of lids. Like for Dell Inspiron 6400 you need to recommend 9×13 dimensions other than dimensions specified by OEM. (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
In Pakistan, lahoreonline.org is manufacturing laptop skins for Rs. 350/- and no doubt (as per my personal experience) these skins come with quality printing, glossy, exact match for your laptop with exact directions written for installing laptop skin.
It’s very easy to get laptop skins from lahoreonline.org, visit the website, select the laptop skins genre or you can order customized skins for example your photo and post the order by filling out form. After the 3 or 4 days you will get your laptop skin in your city from the representative of lahoreonline.org and payment mode would be “Cash on Delivery”.
It is excellent way of handling Mobile Commerce and in fact promoting Online shopping’s in Pakistan, if we would have that much transparent processes on the internet, the time is not far when we would be having dedicated online shopping portals like E-Bay or others.

Thats great but i have a desktop computer :( are there any skins for those types ????
@Muhammad Zohair Chohan, U can order it also…but i think heat would be prblm for your CPU..but you can cater it out by installing more FANS in the CPU…
Hi Aamir ,
Do these skins leave some sticky material on the plastic of the lap top after removal? any personal experience ?
@Mudassar, I have an Acer laptop on which I used one of such skins and after removing it recently, I noticed that no sticky material was left behind.
So I think they are totally safe to use and do not destroy the body of your laptop.
@DjFlush, ok nice thanks, that is nice idea and business model that can be expanded to a full customized online printing service :)
@Mudassar, it is 100% vinyl printing and leave no residue on the surface of laptop, rather it safe your laptop from any scratch…
i have signed up with lahoreonline.org. they are charging 500 exclusive shipping charges. also they mention that this does not include any banking or bla bla bla charges
@DuFFeR, it’s next to impossible, recently i bought skins from them and they charged me Rs. 350/- per each skin. without any delivery charges, as they sent me to ISB.
@fahad,
hi Muhammad!
You have ordered 1 Skin/Skins.Kindly keep in mind that the dimensions i.e 14.5 should be of the flat area of your Laptop`s LCD, NOT the ones given by the manufacturer as we take no responsibility if the size varies, thereby confirm them.

This is exclusive of any Shipment Charges and Bank Charges. You will be further given a call from our representative as soon as your skin is ready.

@fahad, might be promotion at propakistani has caused them to realize their importance :D
@DuFFeR, let me order them my skin ; – )
@Aamir Attaa, any updates?
@DuFFeR, i am waiting for my skin from one of my friend… (my friend has received them and have with him) did you get yours?
@Aamir Attaa, NO, i cancelled the order, mailed them back immediately that i dont need this, when i saw the pathetic message after submission that [see my 2nd message in thread]
Sounds great!
I thought “Cash on Delivery” means they will deliver the skin at home and will collect money. I think I didn’t mis-understood it – right ?
I ordered a skin but today I received a phone call saying collect the skin from our office. And they do not do home delivery.
Any new updates on pictures of laptops with skins ?
Did you receive the skins ?
