Claim:
1. A method for manufacturing a protector for a portable electronic device, comprising steps of: providing a first substrate having a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and a first edge; providing a second substrate having a third surface, a fourth surface opposite to the third surface and a second edge; providing a first sheet having a first sheet surface, a first central portion, a first edge portion relative to the first central portion and a second edge portion opposite to the first edge portion, wherein the first sheet surface of the first sheet includes a first hot-melt adhesive; causing the first surface of the first substrate to contact the first sheet surface of the first sheet, wherein the first edge portion of the first sheet protrudes over the first edge of the first substrate; causing the third surface of the second substrate to contact the first sheet surface of the first sheet, wherein the second edge portion of the first sheet protrudes over the second edge of the second substrate; folding the first edge portion of the first sheet along the first edge of the first substrate to enable the first hot-melt adhesive of the first sheet surface to contact the second surface of the first substrate; folding the second edge portion of the first sheet along the second edge of the second substrate to enable the first hot-melt adhesive of the first sheet surface to contact the fourth surface of the second substrate providing a second sheet having a second central portion, and a second sheet surface including a second hot-melt adhesive, causing the second surface of the first substrate and the first edge portion of the first sheet to contact the second sheet surface of the second sheet; causing the fourth surface of the second substrate and the second edge portion of the first sheet to contact the second sheet surface of the second sheet; and performing a thermocompression bonding to bond the first sheet, the second sheet and the substrate together, wherein the first central portion and the second central portion form a bending portion of the protector through the thermocompression bonding.
