Hey eee community, check this out - asus eee 1005HA-P covered with black matt film, which is used to cover vehicles, furniture etc..
Didn't like my new darkblue US 1005ha-p was collecting fingerprints so I decided to cover it with matt film. Now it's fingerprint resistant and looks nice 
Then a friend of mine bought this model, in Russia already. Again, glossy surface was becoming dirty very fast. So here is the second 1005ha-p, coverd with black matt film)
How do you like that? positive comments allowed 
btw film keeps the netbook in new condition all the time

Looks great!
So what is the product name?
Where do we find it?
How difficult/forgiving is it to install and maybe remove?
Offline
actually i dont know what the product name is, but on the back of the film there's "kpmf.com". I bought it at a specialized shop...
the install process is rather difficult and needs practice, you need to disassemble both screen and motherboard parts in order to fully cover it.
during the installation there might appear air bubbles, but most of them will disappear with the lapse of time

Yeah it looks great, but it's really complicated of what I see so I think a easyer solution would be to use a laptop sticker.... I think it's cheaper, even

It's a shame this is such an involved mod that requires skill and know-how - Because I really like the way it looks!
I personally just ended up ordering (from decalgirl.com) a woodland camo skin for my 1005HA-P (I like camo)... Disassembling my Eee PC for a hardware upgrade would be one thing, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to crack it open just to make the exterior look nicer 
But this solution definitely has a professional look about it... I like it!
Nice work.
Regards,
Bones

I don't get the hate about the glossy cover.

Fingerprint magnet! Will show scratches more easily! Calls too much attraction to it under bright lighting!
All not good for something you'll be putting your hands on constantly throughout the day.
So this is a very nice alteration.

btw this mod is rather cheap... it costed me ~$2.5 to buy the needed amount of film, so what is cheaper?

Nice mod... this looks great! Two questions:
1. Can this be removed later without damaging the case, etc.
2. It looks like you covered the trackpad & toggle bar. How do they respond being covered?
Thanks... I will almost certainly try this if it is possible to remove it later.

One word - Awesome!

Looks great! I'd do it, but mine is white and I can't see any fingerprints!

Awesome! I did something similar on my 900HA, but I used spraypaint: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=51953 (No disassembly required)
Please tell us more about this matte film! "kpmf.com" doesn't seem to exist. What kind of specialty shop did you get it at? Can you give us the name of the shop, maybe we can just phone them up and ask.

very nice!!!!

well, it is easy to remove the film without damaging the case, it doesn't keep any of the sticky clue like scotch tape...
trackpad responds like it is uncovered, so there's no problem here
you can try to contacting the shop - http://perm.adv24.ru/ru/contacts/
