The sides between the front and back may be ridged or flexible to allow the expansion of the space within the case. At least the front ridged side is hinged to the base and detachable from the sides so that the user may lower the front side from a vertical position onto the working surface providing access to the keyboard of the computer at substantially the working surface level.
