Machine-carved unibody aluminum is fine and all, but sometimes I miss the less austere Apple aesthetic: the cheery white plastic, the GLBT-friendliness of the rainbow logo. For just $3.50, you can retro your iPad up with this wonderful retro logo decal for the iPad.
As Charlie Sorrel over at Wired notes: “If Apple was in any way nostalgia-minded, it should include these stickers in the boxes of its products instead of those awful, thin white stickers that we throw away by their thousands every day.” Amen to that.

The ones mentioned in the article above are all sold out on Etsy unfortunately. But I found some similar ones: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Bioni… After just emailing with the shop owner she stated that she’s planning to release an opaque version for the iPad and other devices later this week. Woo hoo!
I’ve got to agree with author, John Brownlee. The rainbow decals from Mac where much more appealing. But at least there are some creative people still able to give us the option. :)
