Patent ID: 8638555

Claim:
An exterior cover, comprising: a first elastic planar element for applying to an outside surface of a display portion of a laptop computer, wherein the first elastic planar element is malleable; a raised edge along a perimeter of the first elastic planar element; a plurality of tabs located on the raised edge, wherein each tab extends from the raised edge, wherein each tab is pushed away from an inside surface of the first elastic planar element to allow for the display portion of the laptop computer to be inserted into the first elastic planar element, and wherein each tab returns to its initial arrangement after the full width of the display portion of the laptop computer is inserted into the first elastic planar element; a second elastic planar element for applying to an outside surface of a keyboard portion of a laptop computer, wherein the second elastic planar element is separate and independent from the first elastic planar element, wherein the second elastic planar element is malleable; a raised edge along a perimeter of the second elastic planar element; and a plurality of tabs located on the raised edge, wherein each tab extends from the raised edge, wherein each tab is pushed away from an inside surface of the second elastic planar element to allow for the keyboard portion of the laptop computer to be inserted into the second elastic planar element, wherein each tab returns to its initial arrangement after the full width of the keyboard portion of the laptop computer is inserted into the second elastic planar element.
