I'm sure that I was using the wrong paint for it, hence my problems. Even so, it took a long time before the paint job started to decay.
Did you sand the case first, to give a bit of a rough surface for the paint to stick to? Did you do any 'prep' work at all? Did you apply a clear coat? These are all things I wonder Kerm, and all things that would greatly affect the quality

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. I sanded the entire case, including making the back a completely flat (yet rough) surface, and followed standard computer case-mod instructions for painting. 
I just use my 89TI case for my 84 and vice versa. I like the 89's case because its ever so slightly smaller so I can hold my calc by the case without worry of it sliding out like with regular 84 case. =)
~30 days after I got my TI-84+SE, I got a orange texture face plate & and carrying case. I can't find the Faceplate on TI... dunno where my parents got it.

Isn't the face plate the thing that protects it?
Oh... yeah... its the thing between the keys... I'll post a photo (give me 5 mins to find the one a took one day when I was bored, really bad angle)

So my uber-tricked-out calc is coming up soon. It's a TI-83+ BE with:
> PS/2 mod [100%]
> Calc-controlled full-spectrum backlight ("TICI CSA") [90%]
> Internal capacitor power backup [5%]
> Case cutouts [0%]
> 1337 paint job [0%]
> Key rerendering [0%]

Ugh, I hate when LCDs get damaged from overpressure... I've never managed to do that to one of my calculators.
I put it in my Backpack without the case covering the screen, and my binder pushed up against it... >.<
Edited my post above BTW...

Not that I'm aware of, I searched for a while, thats why I posted it. I can ask my parents where they got it... It was a birthday present.
EDIT: Okay, they said Target. Hope that helps XD
