Claim:
A cover for a tablet computer having a display configured to present visual content, comprising: a foldable flap that moves about a first pivot line relative to the display between a fully open position to reveal the entire display and a fully closed position to cover the entire display, the flap comprising: a plurality of segments comprising: a first segment at a first end of the flap that includes a magnetically attractable element, and a second segment at a second end of the flap, the second end opposite the first end, the second segment further comprising at least one magnet, and a folding region between each of the segments that allow the plurality of segments to independently fold with respect to each other and the first pivot line, wherein in a first folded configuration the flap forms a triangular structure when the first and second segments are folded one atop the other such that the at least one magnet in the second segment magnetically attracts the magnetically attractable element in the first segment to form one side of the triangular structure that is about equal in width to a second side of the triangular structure each of which is narrower than a third side of the triangular structure, in a second folded configuration, the first segment covers a corresponding portion of the display and the second segment is folded away from the display to reveal a corresponding viewable portion of the display such that the tablet computer presents visual content only at the viewable portion of the display.
