Benefits of technology

[0015]In view of the above disclosure, the primary object of the invention is to provide a tablet computer utility structure (TCUS) that is particularly designed to be easily inserted and removed from a tablet computer. The TCUS protects the computer's viewing surface and increases the utility of the invention. The utility is increased by including a business card holder, a utility pocket, a pen, pencil or stylus retaining loop and an opening located on the front surface of the TCUS that is aligned with a logo on the cover of the tablet computer.
[0019]has a streamlined, slim, lightweight design that can improve the appearance of a table computer,

Problems solved by technology

The tablet computers have a fragile data viewing section which is typically not protected from scratches and other abrasions.
However, these current protective covers have a basic problem in that they only function to protect the data viewing section.

Abstract

A tablet computer utility structure (TCUS 10) that is designed to protect and enhance the utility of the tablet computer (70). The enhancement is accomplished by having the TCUS (10) include a cover (12) that includes on its the front surface (16), a business card holder (28), a pocket (40) that has inserted a paper pad (46) and a pen (59), pencil (60) or stylus (61) retaining loop 58. The TCUS (10) can be dimensioned to be utilized with a variety of tablet computers (70) and can further include on the cover (12) a stylistic logo opening (44) that is in alignment with a tablet logo (72) located on the front surface of the tablet computer (70).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention generally pertains to electronic equipment protective covers, and more particularly to a tablet computer utility structure (TCUS) that is designed to slip over the tablet computer.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The use of tablet computers such as the Apple iPAD™ is in use throughout the world in both industrialized and emerging countries. The tablet computers have a fragile data viewing section which is typically not protected from scratches and other abrasions.[0003]Protective covers are available for some tablet computer designs. However, these current protective covers have a basic problem in that they only function to protect the data viewing section. The covers do not include a means for holding and retrieving a pen, pencil or a stylus, a business card, nor a convenient paper pad for writing handwritten notes.[0004]The instant invention solves the above problems by providing a tablet computer utility structure (TCUS) that is in the form of a cover that s...
