I just bought two eMates from ebay for my children. They work fine and the
seller threw in a dongle and 9W power supply for each. That's the good part.
The less-than-good part is that they are both engraved on the top just below
the handle. Hideous defacement! The idea of new custom-color cases is
appealing. How much would a capable individual expect to be paid for such a
service?
