I think it's cool, but I could never see myself doing it, because I used to go through a new laptop every couple of years.
In any case, the point is moot, now. I switched to using a desktop, in my last upgrade since retiring.

Covers are a possibility, but Apple always used to make minor changes to the laptop layout, so you could seldom reuse a cover.
