Benefits of technology

[0003]According to the present invention, there is provided a protector for portable electronic devices that has a number of unique and useful features that protect such devices from damage and provide support for operating such devices from a desktop or similar flat surface.

Problems solved by technology

One shortcoming of such small scale is that the circuitry is relatively fragile and so subject to damage by, for example, impact with a hard surface caused by dropping and / or exposure to moisture.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to the drawings, wherein the same numerals generally refer to the same elements, there is shown a cover 1 designed to accept an electronic device P, the cover comprising a foldable portfolio 10 having a top 10a, a bottom 10b, and a spine 10c. The top 10a and bottom 10b preferably comprise a three-ply lamination of a soft layer 11 such as felt on the inside of the portfolio that is in contact with the electronic device P, a durable outside layer 12 such as leather, and a stiff middle layer 13 to provide structural support to the top and bottom of the cover. Spine 10c preferably comprises only two plies 11 and 12 so as to maintain flexibility on opening and closing. Portfolio 10 is preferably provided with longitudinal creases 14, 15 and 16 to further facilitate flexing, with crease 16 being created by a discontinuity in middle layer 13.

[0016]A prominent feature of cover 1 is a four-legged frame that may be in a variety of configurations such as in an O-shape 20 as see...

Abstract

A protector for portable electronic devices is disclosed, including a portfolio-style protective cover.

Description

[0001]This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 12 / 860,808 filed Aug. 20, 2010, the priority of which is claimed pursuant to 35 USC 120.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The development of devices incorporating electronic devices has been explosive over the past decade, resulting in many new genres of battery-powered products such as so-called “smart phones,” electronic readers, and, more recently, the Apple iPad®. All such devices are relatively lightweight and portable, owing to the miniaturization of electronic components and circuitry. One shortcoming of such small scale is that the circuitry is relatively fragile and so subject to damage by, for example, impact with a hard surface caused by dropping and / or exposure to moisture. There is therefore a need in the art for protection of such devices from such damage. This need is met by the present invention.BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]According to the present invention, there is provided a protector for portable electronic ...
