A laptop computer case. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are a laptop computer case comprising a housing (the housing defines a top portion, bottom portion, front, back, left side, and right side), and legs coupled to the bottom portion of the housing (the legs extend from the housing to a substantially horizontal surface below the housing, wherein each leg has a proximal portion proximate to the housing, a distal portion that contacts the horizontal surface, and a medial portion). The medial portion of at least two of the legs extends through a plane that bisects the housing perpendicular to the front and back, and the legs render the case self-bearing.
