A simple and inexpensive portable laptop computer hood is disclosed in the form of a sheet with panels, flaps, fold lines, and a single viewing aperture. The single sheet of foldable material can be folded into a 3-dimensional hood operational configuration or a flattened configuration for easy storage and transportation. Because these sheet's panels do not lock into specific positions when the sheet is configured into a 3-dimensional hood, they can be easily repositioned to accommodate variations in both laptops size dimensions and individual operator preferences. A notable aspect of the 3-dimensional configuration of the laptop computer hood is that it allows the laptop computer's keyboard to remain outside of the light-protected compartment area for easy access by the laptop computer's operator. Strategically placed side panels enable the unit to independently stand on its own as the laptop computer is inserted into the compartment. Flaps on the end of these side panels then serve to anchor the device around the laptop computer once it has been placed inside the hood in the event wind is present . . . a likely scenerio in an outdoor setting. Once configured into its 3-dimensional operational configuration, the hood's front panel can either be left open by flipping the front panel up and onto the roof of the hood or be used to enclose the laptop computer screen by allowing it to drop down and into the front of the hood. In the latter case, a viewing aperture is located in the front panel through which the laptop computer operator can then view the fully enclosed laptop computer screen. Because the device can be manufactured with a single sheet of material, printing can be added to produce a simple, low cost advertising medium for a company, its goods and/or services.
