Some of you may remember something similar from a few years ago: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20405957" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20405957</a><p>Well, I'm back, and this time I've managed to turn this into an actual physical product! It all started with a simple blog post back in 2019, which gained enough traction on various websites that it seemed worthwhile pursuing. So, a Kickstarter[0] was, well, started – but it never gathered enough momentum to get it across the line (and looking back, rightly so), and so everything got put on hold.<p>Then the pandemic happened, and I’m kind of glad the idea hadn’t taken off. I did however continue to get a trickle of messages and DMs asking what happened to LidLayer, and if there were any plans for the future…<p>Fast-forward a year or two, and I get the opportunity to go to a conference for work – the beautiful Objective by the Sea (ObtS)[1], where I am surrounded by stickered MacBooks! The idea of LidLayer immediately pops back into my head, and I can’t help but take another look at it, to see if I can make it work (it must be good if I keep coming back to it, right?).<p>So, I managed to find a supplier who can accurately cut the LidLayers way more cost-effectively than I ever could, meaning I could finally bring this whole thing back to life. And, what that also means is that because the cost of producing these has gone down, I can pass that saving on to you! Win win win!<p>[0] <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grham/lidlayer-protect-and-preserve-your-laptop-stickers" rel="nofollow">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grham/lidlayer-protect-...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://objectivebythesea.org/v5/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://objectivebythesea.org/v5/index.html</a>
