Case having an interchangeable cover

摘要

An apparatus for protecting an electronic device includes a first protective cover component and a second protective component that may be removably coupled to one another. The second protective cover component includes a hinge component having a flexible hinge portion extending from a peripheral portion of the second protective cover component, wherein the hinge component facilitates coupling of the second protective cover component to the first protective cover component. One of the first protective cover component and the second protective cover component include a region configured to receive the electronic device.

主权项

1. An apparatus for protecting an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
a protective cover comprising: a first protective cover component including a peripheral portion having a channel disposed therein, the channel having a longitudinal axis and one or more peripheral walls extending along the longitudinal axis in the peripheral portion of the first protective cover component, the channel having an opening in at least one of the one or more peripheral walls, the opening extending along the longitudinal axis and at least partially along the at least one of the one or more peripheral walls, at least a portion of the opening being narrower than at least a portion of the channel, the first protective cover component having a first side portion; and a second protective cover component including a flexible hinge component extending from a peripheral portion of the second protective cover component, the flexible hinge component including a hinge portion shaped to correspond to the channel in the first protective cover component; wherein one of the first protective cover component and the second protective cover component includes a recessed region configured to receive the electronic device, and the other of the first protective cover component and the second protective cover component includes a protruding ridge region having a shape corresponding with the recessed region, the protruding ridge portion fitting in alignment with the recessed region when the second protective cover rotates about the flexible hinge component to a closed position; the protruding ridge region including a flap rotatable when the second protective cover component rotates about the flexible hinge component to a first open position to support the apparatus in a first inclined position, and wherein the second protective cover component is configured to support the apparatus in a second inclined position different from the first inclined position when the second protective cover component rotates about the flexible hinge component to a second open position different from the first open position.
