Patent ID: 7673745

Claim:
A case for a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device comprising a first portion and a second portion, the case comprising: a first panel having an upper portion and a lower portion separated from each other by a hinge line; a second panel spaced apart from and coupled to the upper portion of the first panel by a first sidewall and a second sidewall; a third panel spaced apart from and coupled to the lower portion of the first panel by a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall; a strap extending from the first panel; a first coupling mechanism coupled to the strap; a second coupling mechanism configured to couple to the strap; and a third coupling mechanism configured to couple to the first coupling mechanism, wherein: the first panel is capable of being folded along the hinge line into a flexed position; the first panel, the second panel, the first sidewall, and the second sidewall form a first compartment capable of receiving at least the first portion of the portable electronic device; the first panel, the third panel, the third sidewall, and the fourth sidewall form a second compartment capable of receiving at least the second portion of the portable electronic device while the first compartment is receiving the at least the first portion of the port able electronic device; the second compartment is further capable of receiving the at least the second portion of the portable electronic device while the first compartment is devoid of the at least the first portion of the portable electronic device; the first compartment is capable of receiving the at least the first portion of the portable electronic device while the second compartment is devoid of the at least the second portion of the portable electronic device; the strap, the first coupling mechanism, the second coupling mechanism, and the third coupling mechanism are configured such that when the strap is coupled to the second coupling mechanism and the first coupling mechanism is coupled to the third coupling mechanism, the first compartment is at a first angle with the second compartment; the strap, the first coupling mechanism, and the third coupling mechanism are configured such that when the strap is devoid of a coupling with the second coupling mechanism and the first coupling mechanism is coupled to the third coupling mechanism, the first compartment is at a second angle with the second compartment; and the first angle is different than the second angle.
