Ethno-Look Laptop Hard Cover

Make a fun-looking removable hard cover for your laptop. It protects the lid and makes your laptop unique!

You can personalize some softwares with "skins", so why not the hardware (literally)?

Gluing fabric on the lid would be much easier, but not easily removable. This cover has to be hard because it is removable. Why is it removable?

• because the laptop belongs to my company, so I should not do potentially irreversible things to it (so, installing Linux is fine!), and
• I might need to remove it occasionally, e.g. for some meetings  (it's what I thought in the first place. In fact I never had to, so far. Icebreaker). 

Study Your Laptop's Body

Every laptop model is different. This project may not even be doable on some models. On mine, the lid is very flat and edgy, so it makes it easier.

Study your laptop very carefully.

• Imagine where the cover could get a grip on the lid.
• The lid hinges are a critical place, you may have to shape/cut the cover very carefully, in order to let the lid open/close smoothly.
• Some lids have very rounded edges and corners, making this project difficult, to impossible.
• Locate particularities. In my case, the top surface has two angles, one of which is almost unnoticeable.
