Notebook review checked out this notebook from HP, here's a short snip: "The dv5000z case is made of a sturdy feeling plastic, including the lid. When pressing on the lid, there were noticeable ripples in the screen which may cause some concern for long term use, but it is a budget notebook so one cannot expect a metal reinforced lid like you'll get in much more expensive notebooks. The plastic on the lid is the type that can be prone to getting easily scratched, so a notebook sleeve for protection is recommended.."
