Laptop Keyboard Protector

If she see it, she's generally heading straight for it- our laptop. And lately, it's her favorite choice for something to push on as she's learning to stand. And those skype sessions with grandma and grandpa aren't helping either...

We've decided we probably need to take some kind of action other than keep moving the computer away every couple of minutes. While there are a ton of protectors that allow you to still type, we need something hard for those video chats with grandpa and grandpa. We found a clear acrylic cover that's really intended to keep cats and pets off of the keyboard- but looks like it might work. Anyone else have a solution to salvage their poor laptop?

One thing to be concerned about if you're thinking about anything that covers your keyboard is that your keyboard is a key vent on your laptop. Look around for other vents and you'll know what I'm talking about.

For the Skype chats with Grandma and Grandpa, I just let him pound the keys, but not lean over. Not the best solution, but it's all I've got.

I have a wireless keyboard somewhere ... I'm going to pull it out tomorrow and see if she'll take that bait instead. Can hold her and the keyboard on my lap and let her go crazy.
