Always ensure that the device has adequate ventilation and air flow. Covering the device can significantly affect air flow, may affect the performance of the device, and poses a possible risk of fire or explosion, which could lead to serious bodily injuries or damage to property. Covering the device can trap any dissipating heat and redirect it back to the device while it is active. Although the device might not currently be in full use, background applications and functions can generate heat that can accidentally be trapped when covered.
