Abstract: A laptop computer has an exhaust port on a rear panel. A thin film skin is engaged with the computer placing a generally planar top panel and a generally planar bottom panel on the computers top and bottom exposed faces. The panels are joined by an elastic hinge around the rear panel. Comer grippers are engaged with the computer's corners to enable the skin to fit tightly on the computer. The hinge has such an elastic property, that, with the comer grippers engaged with the computer, the hinge lays in a stretched condition proximate the rear panel with the computer open or closed thereby preventing bulging of the hinge or thin film panels.
