Problems solved by technology

However, these devices have either a fixed lid or a lid that is not easily detachable, interchangeable, and customizable.

The problem that I have found is that the owner of the console device has been practically limited to using the lid that is included with the device.

For example, a console device with a fixed lid can be used in the home with neutral or coordinating colors on a couch, but the owner cannot easily replace the lid with his or her favorite football team logo for use at a tailgate party.

In contrast, console devices with a fixed lid are not as customizable.
