Why would you want to do that?  I'd prefer to make my computer look as
unattractive as possible, especially when traveling.  Be especially
careful going through carry-on baggage check(x-ray).  The latest ploy used
by thieves goes like this:  You put your computer on the belt, then get in
line to walk through the metal detector. But the guy in front of you keeps
setting off the alarm, causing a delay.  Meanwhile, his accomplice grabe
your computer off the other end of the belt and takes off.

I use a Land's End soft/canvas brief case which I got at an outlet store
for $3.  I think they are about $30 normally. It's great, looks properly
scruffy, stained and faded, etc.
