Benefits of technology

[0004]In view of the disadvantages of prior art, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a handheld accessory that is adapted to be fixed onto the backside of a tablet computer. Moreover, the handheld accessory is configured with movable brackets that are designed for facilitating a user to grasp between his / her fingers, and thereby, to be used as a handle for the tablet computer when the handheld accessory is attached thereto. Consequently, the handheld accessory can be very helpful to a user holding the table computer for a substantial period of time. Moreover, the movable brackets can be retracted into the frame of the handheld accessory for facilitating the storage of the tablet computer when the tablet computer is not in use.

[0005]Another object of the invention is to provide a handheld accessory, capable of using its movable brackets as a support to a tablet computer when it is being placed on a desktop. Moreover, since the movable brackets of the handheld accessory are coupled to a rotary component, the tablet computer can be arranged vertically or horizontally while being tilted by an inclination angle, and thereby, facilitating the viewing convenience of a user to the display panel of the tablet computer, especially for a comparatively long period of time.

[0012]Preferably, the retaining component further comprises: a groove, disposed at a position corresponding to a flange formed on the rotary component that is provided for the flange to inset therein, and thus enable the rotary component to rotate with respect to the retaining component when the rotary component is assembled to the retaining component.

Problems solved by technology

Nowadays, the trend toward smaller, lighter and thinner designs over the years has presented particular challenges for electronic device to become portable devices that can be carried everywhere easily and used in all kinds of settings.

Consequently, the tablet computers is becoming more and more popular on the market, resulting that the market share of the notebook computers is decreasing.

However, those tablet computers still are too big to be grasped by hand, but most often being held and supported in the palms.

Nevertheless, the holding and supporting a tablet computers on the palms for a substantial period of time can be very tiresome, despite that the tablet computer is significantly lighter than conventional notebook computers.

Moreover, as the tablet computers are most often being used as video players or digital photo frames, it is not suitable for the tablet computers to be lay flat on the tabletop while being used for playing a video or photos.
