Claim:
1. A method comprising: forming a cover for a tablet electronic device having first, second, third, and fourth cover edges, wherein the second and fourth cover edges are longer than the first and third cover edges; forming first and second hinges in the cover, wherein a first cover panel is between the third cover edge and the first hinge, a second cover panel is between the first hinge and the second hinge, and a third panel is between the first cover edge and second hinge, and a first length is from the first cover edge to the second hinge, a second length is from the second cover edge to the fourth cover edge, and the second length is greater than the first length; forming a first structure coupled to and extending at an angle from the third cover edge, wherein the tablet electronic device is inserted into the cover by sliding a back of the electronic device along an inside of the first cover panel until an upper edge of the tablet electronic device is stopped by the first structure; allowing folding into a first stand position by rotating the first hinge a first angle in a first rotation direction, the second cover panel being rotated away from the electronic device, so a bottom of the tablet electronic device can be placed on an interior surface of the third panel at a first point; and allowing folding into a second stand position by rotating the first hinge a second angle in the first rotation direction, the second angle being greater than the first angle, so the bottom of the tablet electronic device can be placed on the interior surface of the third panel at a second point, wherein the second point is closer to the first cover edge than to the second hinge, and in the first and second stand positions, the upper edge of the tablet electronic device is positioned against the first structure, thereby maintaining a position of the tablet electronic device against the inside of the first cover panel and preventing the upper edge of the tablet electronic device from sliding beyond the third cover edge.
