BACKGROUND

Laptop computers are portable computing devices. The laptop computer provides the convenience of full desktop computers, but packaged in a portable form factor that allows a user to travel with the laptop computer. The laptop computer may include a display and input/output devices combined into a single housing.

The housing of the laptop computer may be designed to provide a pleasant aesthetic appearance for the user. Since the laptop computers are portable, the housings can become susceptible to scratches, cracks, and the like, which can negatively affect the aesthetic appearance of the laptop computers.
