This is nifty, but I don't really see why this beats using a case. I've been switching laptop cases for a while (actually need to get a new one) and I put them up on my wall when I'm done.

A case makes the laptop thicker and heavier. My wife and kids have cases on their MBAs and I don’t care for them at all.
