No protection, no reason for existence other than to say it's better to throw the laptop in the trash than to tire your hand.... 2 stars because of the price, otherwise I would give it 0. When I held it in my hands, my first thought was, it's a shame that humanity produces such poor quality products that will be thrown away... and what a shame it is to waste all this raw material so unfairly. It was given to me as a gift.
