ChroMac Cases Add iMac Bling

by , 11:35 AM EDT, October 2nd, 2007

Apple's new glossy display iMacs may come wrapped in aluminum, but buyers don't get any color choices. The older white iMacs, however, have a little more flexibility thanks to Chromac's designer aluminum iMac cases.

ChroMac's iMac Cover

The covers are available in a wide range of colors including chrome, black chrome, gold, blue, green, gun metal, and more. They don't obstruct the display, iSight camera, IR port, or other expansion ports, and the covers slip on white iMacs without requiring any tools.

The iMac covers are built by the same people that make custom-plated parts for luxury cars and Gulfstream jets and are designed to hold up to heavy use. ChroMac's iMac cases are priced at US$499, and are available at the ChroMac Web site.

I agree, but others might think it worth the cost. It can cost even more to get a custom color MacBook. (The premium is $650.) The same company (Colorware) has a similar service for iMacs. The color is painted on, rather than putting on a metal sleeve, for the same $650 premium.
