Protective case for 16" laptop

[ExPat2B]

So the time has come for my boy to have his first laptop.

Having seen what has happened to the laptops of other parents who have given laptops to their children, I am keen to put a protective case on it.

He currently has this case on his tablet, and it works very well, no damage or cracked screen in two years.

However, I don't see to be able to find something similar for a laptop, particularly something that still protects when the screen is open and in use.

Has anyone got any recommendations ? Laptop is a 16" HP Elitebook 840

I don't think I've ever seen a case for a laptop. Given the treatment they get I'd have gone for a Panasonic Toughbook or a cheap Lenovo off ebay & treat it as a consumable.

The laptop was free, I repaired it after it was damaged and discarded.

So I agree if buying new it would be better to work backwards from the requirements that it be childproof/and or be sold with a case,

Just wondering if there was even a generic solution I could modify, I am very handy with a number 11 scalpel blade.
