Benefits of technology
The patent text describes an electronic device case that can tilt the device. The case includes a panel and a frame that holds the device. A tilting subassembly is between the panel and frame. The tilting subassembly has a bendable lift component and a tether component. The lift component can lie flat or bow into an arch to tilt the frame. Pulling the tether component can transform the tilting subassembly from a first configuration to a second configuration. The case can also have a spine to connect the two panels and secure the tilting subassembly in a specific position. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an electronic device case that can conveniently and appropriately tilt the device for better viewing and easier use.
Problems solved by technology
Portable or handheld electronic devices, such as eReader devices, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, tablet computers and the like, have internal circuitry, delicate components, and screens that are prone to damage.
However, many conventional cases available for mobile phones, PDAs, portable video / music players, and table computers, have rather limited functionality.
Although they generally succeed in protecting the portable electronic device, they can detract from its portability, usability and / or aesthetic appearance, and fall short of the needs of the user in many other ways.

case 100
[0019]Case 100 may be formed from a relatively hard or rigid material that operates to protect the electronic device from breakage or damage. More particularly, front panel 102A, back panel 102B, and spine 103 may be formed from any relatively hard or stiff protective material including but not limited to cardboard, bamboo, fiberboard, wood, wood fiber, metal, polymer, synthetic textiles, nylon, polyurethane, wool, polyester, and other suitable materials as would be known to those skilled in the art. In one embodiment, the outer or exterior surfaces of front and back panels 102A, 102B may include a covering for aesthetic purposes. The covering may be canvas, cloth, synthetic leather, leather, or tarpaulin. Further, in one embodiment, inner or interior surface 122A of front panel 102A may include an inner lining of a soft, non-scratch microfiber material and / or a thin padding of approximately 2-3 mm thickness between the lining and the hard protective material of front panel 102A to ...

An electronic device case for selectively tilting an electronic device. The case includes at least one panel, a frame configured to receive an electronic device, and a tilting subassembly. The tilting subassembly includes a bendable lift component and a tether component slidingly disposed between the lift component and the at least one panel. Pulling of the tether component selectively transforms the tilting subassembly from a first configuration in which the lift component lies substantially flat upon the panel into a second configuration in which the lift component bows into an arch, thereby tilting the frame and an electronic device positioned within the frame. One or more fasteners may be coupled to a second end of the tether component to secure the tilting subassembly in the second configuration.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention is related to a holder or case for an electronic device such as a tablet computer.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Portable or handheld electronic devices, such as eReader devices, personal digital assistants, cellular telephones, tablet computers and the like, have internal circuitry, delicate components, and screens that are prone to damage. Thus, there are holders, covers or cases for such devices that protect such devices from the environment. Further, it is often desirable to stand these electronic devices at various orientations and angles to use the electronic devices various functions, such as watching video programming, viewing still images, typing on a touch-screen keypad / keyboard that appears on the device screen, and video-chatting with another user at a remote location, such as through FaceTime® or Skype®. In order to protect their device and serve all viewing preferences, users often purchase protective holders or cases with vi...
