Ideas Needed-GLV Mini Body Protector

[Brutus Buckeye]

Was thinking about either a rubber coating or some type of rubberized protective piece to protect the Mini. I have dropped it a few times and while it still works fine, I have put a couple of unwanted scratches on it. So it just struck me as a possible idea that might look cool and still be functional.

Any of you modders with much more creative minds than me have any ideas? Or am I just being stupid?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone used the liquid rubber coatings?

What about some sort of skin? Like the ones they have for cell phones, mp3 players, computers and such. I know that's not much help and I'm not sure where to get one for that but it's just an idea

I guess you could find one of these products in Home Depot:
1. Specialty Protective Coatings & Adhesives, Protective Foam Coatings, Dissipative Coatings
2. Plasti-Dip Handle Coating : CornerHardware.com, Your home for home improvement

When I first started thinking about ordering a GLV, I was thinking about wrapping it with some suede. (Cut a width to just fit, pop some eyelets in it, lace it up.) I've (mostly) grown past that now, but the thought is still in the back of my head. I may still end up making one anyway. That way, when I go to the hippy-fests, I can slap it on and lace it up. It would make a great protective covering too.

EDIT: Just found this. I may continue with my original plan.

Yeah thats what I was thinking about, just not sure how it would look or work.

You could get some clear tubing. Heat it up and slip it on.
It seems anything with adhesive might eventually come off with the heat from you hand but may cut up some pieces of those non-slips things that go in bathtubs, steps, etc.
Take a piece of tanned deer hide scrap and wrap it. It doesn't take much to be able to keep your grip better. They come in all different colors but some of the dyes do come off so I would choose natural.

Freaky, that is sick looking! Nice!

But not sure how you could use that on the head cap and that is what I think needs the most protection. I'm thinking a flat black rubber coating all over would be a great stealthy look to it as well.

I think you might be able to find some of this at Bass Pro or Cabelas but the fishing worm jelly could make some really cool protective coatings. You could mix nearly anything with it and the color options are nearly endless.
