Here is a collection of images of the finished product. The first five images are of the cover mounted on my monitor. You can see some cracking at the corners that happened during the bending process. I think I may have pushed with too much force before it was heated enough. I may try to fill in the cracks with glue someday.

In the last two pictures, you can see that I put a pillow case over the monitor to prevent the new cover from bouncing around.

Someday I would like to add something to hold the cover to the monitor, such as bungee cords or velcro.
