Chinese brand names

sillygoose

I want to buy a particular cheap Chinese Android tablet that is just right spec for the use I intend, bought them before no problem, the issue is the awful names they use, its putting me right off as its on the front in large print logo..

Easily solved, go through these and find a front cover that'd match the size of the bezel

OR
get a template made, and buy the likes of a laptop skin and cut the bezel shape out to fit.
Or just get a nice sticker to cover the name :P

Thanks some good ideas there but added cost and this is low budget project. Looks like a sticker or sandpaper!

Sandpaper would look worse, If you can get a template made of the bezel, just get a cheap skin off ebay for a laptop lid and cut out a bezel shape. cost about £7 (if you'd prefer to cover the whole front) just avoid picture ones, as you'll lose the picture, and stick with a pattern.

Or get some Fablon and use that to make a bezel cover from.

I saw some vinyl cut-to-size laptop skins in the pound shop this week. How about buying one of those and cutting to size as suggested above?

Just stick a sticker on it, you can get a pack for £1, probably even apple shaped ones

Bad enough it says Ainol without making it look An@l

The jokes probably on us, Ainol probably means gentlemans bits in Chinese anyway. It doesn't look big enough lettering to warrant covering the whole front. I will knock up some labels with my label printer and put on... which do we prefer, Amstrad or Pifco?

I would think something along the lines of "Apple iPad 5 beta" would be best - especially if it will be seen in public.

I really love telling people I have an "Ainol tablet".

Their reactions are priceless when I phrase it that way!
