Abstract:
1. A modular case for a tablet-shaped electronic device, the modular case comprising: a shell having a front side and a back side, wherein the front side of the shell is configured to receive a tablet-shaped electronic device and wherein the back side of the shell includes at least one shell magnetic coupling region, wherein the at least one shell magnetic coupling region is located on an outer region of the shell proximate an edge of the shell; at least one pocket including at least one pocket magnetic coupling region; a first jacket portion including a first jacket portion magnetic coupling region configured to be magnetically coupled to the shell magnetic coupling region on the back side of the shell, wherein the first jacket portion has a size and shape corresponding to a size and shape of the shell such that the first jacket portion substantially covers the shell when the case is closed, wherein the first jacket portion and the shell are rectangular, wherein the first jacket portion includes at least one lengthwise foldable line extending lengthwise across the first jacket portion forming at least one end panel, wherein the first jacket portion magnetic coupling region is located in at least the end panel such that the end panel is configured to be magnetically coupled to the outer region of the shell magnetic coupling region when the first jacket portion is folded along the lengthwise foldable line to form a stand; and a second jacket portion hingedly coupled to the first jacket portion and including a second jacket portion magnetic coupling region configured to be magnetically coupled to the pocket magnetic coupling region.
