Toast Real Wood Acer C720 Chromebook Cover (My Thoughts)

14 - 1

American company Toast have created a stylish looking Real Wood Cover for the Acer C720 Chromebook that's available from their website, the basic cover costs $50 US and comes in a plain or with the Chrome logo cut out. for an extra $5 US you can have custom text added.

There is one slight downside to these covers and that is they stick to the lid of your Chromebook and you only get one shot at putting it on, as well as once they're applied they can't be removed and re-used meaning that if you're C720 gets replaced with a new one thy you'll have to purchase a new one.

I'd love to do a proper full review of this cover, but I can't justify the $50 US plus shipping to the UK to do a review when I'm currently quite happy with my iPearl hard shell full body cover.

I'll try contacting the Toast PR Department and see if I can get a cover for review though.

  1. It looks lovely, but, as you say, a bit expensive, and I would be worried about sticking it on wonky!

  2. Same here, and since it's a one time only application you can't take it off if you want a change & then put it back on when you want to use it again which makes it an expensive choice unless you want to leave it on all the time.

    You can achieve the same effect with the top portion of a clear iPearl hard shell & a sheet of Copy Paper with a wood effect printed on it for a lot less & have the ability to keep taking it on and off.
