Thanks to Sergeï and Ivan for this trick.
Advantages of a carbon-based enclosure to protect your notebook:
1-light,
2-fitting the size of your notebook
3-high mechanical resistance,
4-high tech/urban design.
Manufacturing steps:
1-prepare a mould made of carton board with the same size as your notebook slightly larger)

2-cover the mould with a light and flexible foam (such as the foam-based sleeping set used for camping).

3-Then, apply the epoxy-based resin on the mould, then wrap it (3 times) with the carbon fiber while ensuring that the carbon mesh is getting well socked by the resin. For the corner parts, try to perform a nice wrapping since it will be the most exposed part to damages. You can also reinforce those parts by adding patches of carbon fiber + epoxy resin (warning, do not forget to protect yourself with gloves, lab coat, glasses, etc...)

4-lets the resin gets hard.
5-remove the mould.
6-with a small pouncing machine remove all carbon fibers free of resin.

7-That's it, your protection enclosure will prevent damage to your notebook even serious one such as shocks and crushing. To protect your notebook from dust, one can place it into a plastic bag.
If a manufacturer was willing to bring commercial-style to such enclosure, one could expect a perfect good-looking protection for our notebook. Come on apple, let's try it!! after the socks for iPod the carbon fiber protection for your PB and iBook.
