Simple Metallic Laptop Stand

Step 3Anti Slip Strips

Anti Slip Strips
Cut out three bands of the anti-slip liner (about 1.5 inches wide) using a ruler and utility blade.

Stick some strips of double sided tape to the liners and than stick the liner to the edges of the document holder. This will prevent any scratching to the laptop from the edges and hold the laptop in place, preventing it from slipping.

JUST A NOTE TO ADD AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE DESIGN.

IF YOU FIND THE DOCUMENT HOLDER TO LONG FOR YOUR DESK APPLICATION AND SPACE AS I DID AND YOU DON'T WANT THE RUBBER STOPS STICKING OUT IN FRONT.  YOU CAN CAREFULLY CUT THE FRONT END, AS DESCRIBED, INSTEAD OF BENDING UNDER, ABOUT 3/4" TO 1" LONGER THAN NEEDED AND PLACE 3/4" OF THIS EDGE BETWEEN TWO PIECES OF WOOD IN BENCH VISE. CAREFULLY BEND THE EDGE UP SO THAT THE EDGE TURNS UP IN FRONT OF THE FRONT EDGE OF THE LAPTOP AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE. YES, I KNOW THAT THIS WILL LEAVE A SHARP EDGE RIGHT WHERE YOUR WRISTS ARE, BUT I DO HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THAT TOO. GO TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND FOR A FEW DOLLARS YOU CAN BUY A (2) PACK OF PLASTIC CAR DOOR PROTECTORS, IN CHROME OR BLACK, CUT ONE TO THE WIDTH OF THE LAPTOP HOLDER AND GENTLY FORCE IT OVER THE SHARP EDGE, THIS WILL GIVE YOU A CLEAN LOOK AND PROTECT YOUR WRISTS. 

NOTE: THIS WAS A GREAT IDEA YOU HAD AND ALSO GIVES YOU AIR CIRCULATION FOR YOU LAPTOP FANS, GOOD JOB AND IDEA.
