Abstract:
A cover for a notebook type computer, and a method of making same. The cover comprises a stiff metal body covered by a cosmetic shell. The body and shell are adhered together to form a composite cover. All force bearing elements, such as hinges and latches, are attached to the body, such that the shell need not endure applied force during use of the computer.
