In this video, we change the cover of our Lenovo laptop from dull gray to a cool "retro tech" look by using an inexpensive wrap we found online. It looks like old cassette tapes. A practical effect was to hide some scuffs in the laptop lid, but it also adds some "personality" to an otherwise generic looking Lenovo laptop. In addition, the cassette themed skin was paid for with a vintage cassette themed credit card which we show in this video. I tried to compare the cover to some of my old cassettes and found it resembles a Maxell Type I tape. The Discover card resembles a Sony. The laptop shown in this video was a Lenovo Ideapad S340 that was originally purchased at Costco. The sticker came from Walmart for about $20.
