I myself am at lost as to why I did what I just did. Got the idea from netbooks.ph. It's glass frost film repurposed from covering, well - your glass surfaces, to functioning as protective cover for your netbook and other gadgets. Kind of like Zagg, only cheaper and obviously not as high tech (I don't imagine the Air Force would think of putting this material instead on their chopper blades) but it does a great job as gadget protective film.
Some weeks ago, I went to a nearby hardware store to get myself a roll and cut up a nice piece for my MacBook Mini's palm rest and lid (I didn't really wanna cover up the Mini's nice swirl pattern so I didn't opt to get a gelaskin). It was so fun cutting up a piece to size and sticking it on MacBook Mini so I also decided to craft a touchpad protector later.
