Abstract
A woven panel for a computing device includes a woven pattern having a repeat size of greater than 25 cm by 25 cm. The woven pattern has a thread density of at least 25 threads by 25 threads per square cm. The woven panel is integrated to a computing device and is tailored to the specifics of the computing device, thereby improving the visual aesthetic and the tactile feel of the computing device.

A woven fabric panel for covering an input surface of a computing device, comprising:
- a palmrest zone on having a tactile feel based on the woven fabric panel in the palmrest zone having a high loft weave pattern that is irregular throughout the palmrest zone;
- a cutout zone including a plurality of keyset cutouts cut from the woven fabric panel, and
- an edge zone cut to an edge of the woven fabric panel, the edge zone being fray resistant.
A woven fabric panel for covering an input surface of a computing device, comprising:
- a palmrest zone on having a tactile feel based on the woven fabric panel in the palmrest zone having a high loft weave pattern;
- a cutout zone including a plurality of keyset cutouts cut from the woven fabric panel, the cutout zone being fray resistant at the plurality of keyset cutouts based on the woven fabric panel in the cutout zone having a smaller thread size than both the palmrest zone and an edge zone of the woven fabric panel;
- and
- the edge zone cut to an edge of the woven fabric panel, the edge zone being fray resistant.
