Patent ID: 8672126

Claim:
A case for securing an electronic device, comprising: a base stack comprising a pouch portion, a hinge portion and a cover portion, the hinge and cover portions each comprising at least one rigid element, the rigid element of the hinge portion disposed between two bendable regions that allow rotation of the cover portion with respect to the pouch portion; a periphery stack defining a ring shape coupled to a first surface of the pouch portion to create a region for retaining the electronic device between the periphery stack and the pouch portion, the region having an opening which enables a user to view a display of the electronic device when the electronic device is retained by the region, wherein the periphery stack is coupled to the base stack along three sides, such that the case includes an additional opening between the periphery stack and the base stack for inserting the electronic device into the pouch portion, and the periphery stack further comprises a flap extending from a portion of the periphery stack adjacent to the additional opening between the periphery stack and the base stack, the flap operative to fold into the additional opening to fully enclose the electronic device on all sides to secure the electronic device in the pouch portion; and a tab coupled to a second surface of the pouch portion, opposite the first surface, wherein the tab is operative to receive a distal end of the cover portion to define a triangular prism having a substantially fixed geometry, wherein the triangular prism is configured to rest on the cover region to provide a first orientation of the opening and further configured to rest on the hinge portion to provide a second orientation of the opening relative to the user when the cover region is unfolded to expose the opening.
