Create the Leash
Eric told me he often forgets to put the cover back on his laptop after he's done working at the kitchen table. The leash should solve this problem. I made the leash out of some old alligator clips and some ribbon.

Take apart the alligator clips. Thread the ribbon through one of the plastic protectors and tie to an alliator clip. Add some fray-check to the end of the ribbon and put the plastic protector back over the clip.

Measure out how much ribbon is needed to fit loosly around the laptop. Cut the ribbon to length. Then thread the loose end of the ribbon through the other plastic protector and tie to the other alligator clip. Apply fray-check to the end and put the plastic protector back over the clip.

Now you have a nifty leash for the screen protector!
