Abstract:
1. A protective case for a mobile electronic device, the protective case comprising: a first rigid cover for covering a first portion of the mobile electronic device, the first rigid cover including mating surfaces; a second rigid cover for covering a second portion of the mobile electronic device, the second rigid cover including mating surfaces, and the second rigid cover engageable with the first rigid cover to at least partially enclose the mobile electronic device; a link member permanently and rotatably attached to a back of the second rigid cover; and a lever permanently and rotatably attached to the link member and permanently and rotatably attached to the first rigid cover such that the lever forms a clamping mechanism with the link member to removably clamp the first rigid cover to the second rigid cover, wherein the first rigid cover, the second rigid cover, the link member, and the lever comprise a single assembly configurable to multiple positions, and wherein: rotating the lever in a first direction actuates the link member to draw the second rigid cover toward the first rigid cover to engage the mating surfaces of the second rigid cover to the mating surfaces of the first rigid cover such that the second rigid cover covers the second portion of the mobile electronic device, the first rigid cover and the second rigid cover forming an opening through which a display of the mobile electronic device is accessible, and rotating the lever in a second direction disengages the mating surfaces of the second rigid cover from the mating surfaces of the first rigid cover such that the second rigid cover is rotatable relative to the mobile electronic device and relative to the first rigid cover to form a stand for the mobile electronic device and the first rigid cover.
