hehe... see this is what i was thinking when i suggested a graphite model might be availble in the future.

i know that it might not be a huge issue for everyone but i really did find (after using my graphite k3 for the past year) that my eye kept being drawn to that black (dark grey) line around the screen.

i guess a skin that makes everything else black would solve the problem! hehe...

For me it's not about the line around the screen. I don't even notice it but the contrast on my K4 isn't the best so I bought a black skin to make the text pop out more. I've already change the font to a darker font which helps some but in normal lighting the K4 just isn't as easy to read as my K3.

I really like it too, as much as my K3.

hmm... since Amazon has excellent return policy, if I were you I would just order one and use it for a week to see if it still bothers you. I've not heard anyone complaining about this on the K4 yet(except you). I used mine for almost a month before I just gave it away, didn't even notice it.
