A flip type mobile telephone is provided with a flip cover attached thereto. The flip type mobile telephone comprises a telephone body provided with a keypad and a hinge shaft provided at an end of the telephone body. A flip cover is hingedly connected to the telephone body through hinge caps inserted onto the hinge shaft. The flip cover covers or exposes the keypad when respectively opened and closed. At least one electromagnet is provided at one side of the telephone body which applies an electromagnetic force toward the flip cover. At least one permanent magnet is provided at a side of the flip cover adjacent to the permanent magnet when the flip cover is closed. The permanent magnet allows opening of the flip cover by applying a magnetic force having a polarity opposite to that of the electromagnet when the electromagnet is energized. Accordingly, the flip cover can be opened by means of the repulsive magnetic force produced between the electromagnet and the permanent magnet when the electromagnet is actuated. The electromagnet can be momentarily energized by pressing the mobile telephone's on/off switch when turning the telephone on for use. Thus, the mobile telephone's keypad is conveniently exposed when the mobile telephone is activated for use.
