Patent ID: 8727116

Claim:
A protection cover for a portable terminal, comprising: a rear cover having an outer surface and having an inner surface adapted for the portable terminal being mounted thereon and removed therefrom; ribs extending from a first and second side edge of the rear cover for orienting the portable terminal on the rear cover; a front cover pivotally coupled to the rear cover to open or close access to the portable terminal when the portable terminal is mounted on inner surface of the rear cover, the front cover having an outer surface and a binding member, monolithically formed with and extending from an edge of the front cover, to engage the rear cover to bind the rear cover to the front cover when the front cover closes access to the portable terminal; and at least two friction members in an unaligned alternating arrangement on the front cover and on the rear cover, respectively of which at least a first friction member is provided on a portion of the rear cover and a second friction member provided on a portion of the front cover in which the first friction member and the second friction member are facing the same direction when the protection cover is closed, and wherein the at least two friction members are selected from the group consisting of silicon and rubber, and with a set spacing apart of the at least two friction members and a substantial frictional engagement of the set spaced apart at least two friction members with a planar surface sets and fixes an angle between the front cover and the rear cover while the outer surface of the front cover faces the outer surface of the rear cover; wherein the front cover and rear cover form a cradle when the front cover is disposed at the fixed-angle with respect to the rear cover while facing an outer surface of the rear cover to support placement of the front cover and the rear cover in the fixed-angle configuration on the planar surface, said fixed angle thereby opening access to the portable terminal and cradling the portable terminal inclinedly with respect to the planar surface.
