HOTO Laser Measure Protective Cap

Description
Ever since my toddler started getting into everything, I've had this anxiety about him getting his hands on it. One curious little hand, or an accidental button press, and suddenly we're having a very bad day involving lasers and eyeballs.
And honestly it's not just him I'm worried about. I have this probably-irrational fear of tossing it in my pocket, something pressing the button, and lasering myself in the eye when I pull it out to use. Is that likely to happen? Probably not, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about it.
So I designed this cap. It covers the laser opening so even if the button gets pressed, nothing is getting lasered. It also covers the USB port to keep dust out. The fit is snug enough that my toddler isn't just going to yank it off, but there are some grip on the side and back so adults can actually get a grip and pull it off when needed.
For the display window I went with slats instead of a plain rectangular cutout. Looks cooler, protects the screen a bit, and you can still see if the tool is on through it.
If you've got little ones running around or you're just paranoid about pocket lasers, hope this helps.
