What kind of casing mod are you talking about?  What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

I should be getting my own 14.1" iBook soon - I want to get the back of the LCD screen taken off, a piece of the blue-colored Saran Wrap put on the inside of the Apple....

That way, when the monitor is on, the Apple glows blue instead of white.  It'd look rather similar to the OS X Apple Menu symbol. 

Cool?  Or already been done?

Apple logo modding on the newer iBook's is nothing new.  In fact i've had that exact setup with the blue plastic wrap myself.

Honestly, I'm glad to hear it.  That way, it won't be too tough to figure out how to do it myself, or too hard for one of my modding friends to take care of.

Thanks for the advice with the paper.  The light is really that bright, that it'll shine through a piece of tinted paper?  Maybe I should use a light paper stock when I do that anyway.

Yeah it is that bright.  That's the reason that the plastic wrap won't hold up in color.  I just used standard printing paper for my last one that I was talking about.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes for you.

Wait longer,
The roumor sites have been flingin around the idea that new models will not come out untill late january. This is said to be due to a slump in sales over the holidays, so the added time will allow for the remaing units to be sold. I'm probably gonna do the same thing, but wait untill feb 1st, or the release of the new books, wich ever comes sooner

There is a low possiblity, but it's not unheard of. hey, what's a month in the grand scheme of things anyway?
