Now you should go and reinforce the two lines on top of the screen, make them wider. Or replace them with something softer. Otherwise they will crush your topcase to a pulp. Like they did on every genuine macbook out there for many years because Apple never bothered to fix it.

Personally I thought the later plastic macbook with the rounded edges was a much nicer design. Or the earliest white iBooks, which had a transparent case with white paint inside so they had this really cool glow. Unfortunately that caused shadows on the tiniest scratch which acted like a magnifying glass, so you really had to keep it pristine. But in those days a macbook was super expensive so I always kept mine in sleeves.

By the way I love what you've done with the EL film powering the back apple light. That looks amazing. It should always have been implemented like this, so you can drive it separately.
