Light enclosure for Laptop

Well, after all the talk about lights, LEDs and computer screens, I decided to build a folding enclosure for my Laptop. Now I have a red sheet of 1/8" Acrylic that I made for a screen cover and it works very well. But, I also like to use the laptop for Starry Night Pro and it's great sky map. Then of course there is Photography and it's demands for the laptop.
So, I wanted something more than the Cardboard Box that I have seen used often. The idea was dew resistance, portability and ease of use. I had some 1/8" material that I got dumpster diving. I did some drawings and came up with a folding unit with four pieces and cloth hinges. It folds down to less than 1/2" thick and 15"x`8". It is flat black on the inside and gray on the outside for visibility.
If anyone is interested, I will post pictures.
