Crystal-Studded Laptop Covers: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

I can't help but get a bit of satisfaction and pleasure from personalizing my gadgets — especially with fun new decals and chic new cases. So when PartySugar gave me a glittery-gold sticker to put on the back of my cell phone (it was the first initial of my name), I absolutely loved it. The sticker has since worn off (call it overuse of the phone if you will), but I'm always on the look out for sparkly new accessories to jazz up my gadgets. Aside from the usual blinged-out, cellphone cases at CES this year, I also came across (ahem . . . was blinded by) these crystal-covered laptop stickers. I can't say I'd want to go all out and slap one of these on my laptop, but I'm curious to know if any of you would?! What do you think? Too geeky or somewhat geek chic?

    Love it, but I would be afraid they won't come off once I got sick of them.

    They're nice in theory, but a bit much. It just kinda looks tacky... a simpler pattern that doesn't cover the entire top of the computer would look very nice.

    I'm not really into all that bling. It looks cute for a minute, but then it gets old.

    Less sparkle and more pink and then Id totally be down to buy one. I think its a cute idea but too shiny. Reminds me of an old lady's broach

    Cute but would probably only assist in your Mac getting stolen, not to mention that would rip up the interior of your laptop case.

    Totally tacky. I can not stand anything that is "blinged" out. But then again, I don't even like Jewelry that much.

    I can see putting an initial or maybe a decal that has crystals in the shape of a symbol or something....but all of this crazy "let's cover every inch of our gadgets in rhinestones" stuff is killing me.

    I mean, seriously...who wants a cellphone that is going to scratch up their hands because it's so rough? Or a laptop that is going to blind them?

    cute, but... i think too much glitter like that big appliances such as laptops is a bit much.. putting them on phones and other smaller things would look better.
    that would only be cool if u always dress completely in black and then u just have that random laptop lol.

    it would be ugly to the touch too i suppose.

    They're cute, but definitely too much. I think they could work on a teenager but definitely not on a young adult. Too blingy. Ech.

    You know, a little sparkle here and there is one thing, but all-over glitter?

    This sort of thing always reminds me of the horrible glue-and-glitter creations we all made back in kindergarten. We thought they were so pretty then, but we wouldn't exactly go around hanging them in galleries now, would we? And we certainly wouldn't tape them to our laptops.

    At least I wouldn't...

    OMG how cute! I would totally want this for my laptop, but I think I would be a bit scared of getting sick of the same one.

    I get seriously depressed when I see things like this. I don't enjoy the blinging of things, but I can understand why certain peeps love it so much...

    There's a fine line between glamorous and gaudy. If you love it, don't be afraid to walk it!

    I'm not into super sparkle stuff, it looks like my five-year-old daughters dress-up gear. I do like the idea of customizing my laptop, but not like this. Just too juvenile.

    you know, akirstin has a good point. it does look like a five year old.
    and that's exactly why i love it.
    it'd go with my halo kitty background (from the post that you had awhile ago geek)
    i'd put this on my laptop....Smiling

    Completely gorgeous in a film...in real life not so useful. It'd look like trash inside a week when the doohickeys fell off.

    I love them and don't think they're tacky at all. They remind me of a really cute party dress.

    I LOVE bling, as in jewelry; the laptop bling? Its ok..might be fun for a while if the right pattern but as someone else said, I'd be afraid of the tacky mess after you try to remove it.

    I'd bet there'd be one because that would force you to have to keep buying their product.

    It's not my style but I can see how it can be really fun computer bag bling for some.
