Just as there are those ultra chunky protectors for tablets designed for kids, the Kid Lid is a keyboard protector for your laptop. Kids and babies love computers, but they also like making messes, banging on the keyboard and picking off keys.
The Kid Lid looks just like a basic tablet case, but it's designed to lay over a keyboard. For easy access to the trackpad, the Kid Lid has individual panels that can be flipped up. The cover is designed to universally fit 13" and 15" PCs and Macs, made to be free of toxins and BPA. The entire board is dishwasher safe and is expected to retail for somewhere between $29 and $34. Early bird supporters to the Kid Lid Kickstarter campaign can snap up one of these protectors for a donation of $20.
