If you own a Macbook...

The Macbook is a great tool, but sometimes I need more ports. I've partially solved the issue, but I think THIS would make it so much cooler!

No

[@supercc1560]

Nope. As long as the problem you are asking them to fix is not caused by your attachment. Once a camera cover (those sliding things you stick on top of the camera) caused the screen to crack. So that was not covered under warranty Seen a lot of macbooks which get their screen repaired for free (from functional issues) even though they have stickers on the back of the lid.

The sound of velcro when you remove stuff out really grinds my gears. I've no problems with nails on chalk boards but this I have problems with!

[@adikoopa1183]

One big problem I see happening is the hinge is not designed to hold extra weight so it would quickly wear out your hinge. You could cover the top 2/3s of the back in patches for fun customisation and use the bottom 1/3 for hubs and such but you really don’t want to be putting a whole lot of extra weight on your screens hinge

[@justincasehd7524]

Never seen another laptop hinge last as long as a MacBooks. I think they can spare a little reliability for the convenience.

[@DaveDFX]

I do this but with Velcro dots . You should put the SSDs low to avoid stressing the hinge .

[@JimHarm]

You could alternatively buy a cheap clip-on plastic cover for you MacBook and just modify it by adding rows of Velcro strips on that instead. That way you can take it on and off and keep you idea affordable. Simple DIY stuff.
