Are Arch Schwag's Laptop Stickers screen-safe?

Hi guys, I've been using Arch for a year now and I bought a couple of stickers to give something back... now, I'm kind of curious... can I put that sticker on the inside of my laptop without worring of scratching the screen or something? I'm asking because of some bad experiences with laptop manufacturers that make those pillow-like stickers too thick and you can feel the "squish" when you close the lid. I bought the stickers, no complain there : ) now my problem is where to stick them.

ps: In the Schwag store, is there any steps after I pay with paypal? because if that's so,... I need to speak to support : O!

Arch Schwag isn't really an official Arch project in the sense of being directly controlled by devs/TUs or something like that, its run by Dusty I believe, so you'd have to pm him about it.

I've got one on an HP elitebook just above the fingerprint reader in the lower right corner. It lies directly under the screen when the lid is closed and does not contact the bezel. Given that the bezel clears the screen itself by several millimeters, I have no problem. I don't pick up any key marks, either, which I have seen happen in a lot of other laptops. So it really comes down to your screen design and whether there is a bezel and how thick it is. Good luck.

The laptop stickers are no thicker than the standard windows or intel stickers that most laptops come with. If your machine already sports such stickers, the laptop stickers should comfortably fit in a similar location.

My Arch Schwag offerings (http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux* and http://schwag.archlinux.ca/) are semi official. I have had Aaron's approval for a long time (I was an Arch dev when I started), and I kick back a substantial portion of my profits to the Arch Linux project.

Those laptop stickers look freaking sexy on any laptop. Highly recommended!

You will get silly questions from friends like "Your laptop was shipped with linux preinstalled?!"
No I simply scraped my hideous Windows Vista sticker and replaced it with something awesome.

If you want to use Arch, please at least learn to use google to search for "arch Schwag" or reference the wiki for any information....
