Abstract:
A case incorporates a built-in stand for an electronic device, such as an electronic tablet computer, which the case houses. The case protects the electronic device and allows a user to view and access the device without removing it from the case. The built-in stand is adjustable and allows for multiple viewing angles.

Claim (Index 14):
A method comprising:\n forming a substantially rectangular cover for a portable electronic device, the cover comprising first, second, third, and fourth cover edges, the first and third cover edges extend in a first direction and are parallel to each other, the second and fourth cover edges extend in a second direction and are parallel to each other, the second direction is transverse to the first direction, and the second cover edge is longer than the first cover edge; forming a first hinge in the cover between the first and third cover edges, first hinge is extending in the first direction, a front flap is formed between the first cover edge and the first hinge, the front flap has a first length measured from the first cover edge to the first hinge, the first length is sufficiently long to cover a front screen of the portable electronic device when the front flap is folded via the first hinge to close the case; forming a second hinge in the cover between the third cover edge and the first hinge, the second hinge is extending in the first direction and is parallel to the first hinge, a first back part is formed between the third cover edge and the second hinge, and a second back part is formed between the second hinge and the first hinge; forming a first structure, coupled to and extending at an angle away from the third cover edge, wherein when the portable electronic device is removably coupled to the cover, the first structure prevents an upper edge of the portable electronic device from sliding beyond the third cover edge; forming a second structure, coupled to and extending at an angle from the second cover edge at a position between the first hinge and the third cover edge, wherein when the portable electronic device is removably coupled to the cover, the second structure prevents a first side edge of the portable electronic device from sliding beyond the second cover edge; forming a third structure, coupled to and extending at an angle from the fourth cover edge at a position between the first hinge and the third cover edge, wherein when the portable electronic device is removably coupled to the cover, the third structure prevents a second side edge of the portable electronic device from sliding beyond the second cover edge, and the second side edge of the portable electronic device is opposite of the first side edge; allowing folding into a first stand position by rotating the second hinge in a first rotation direction so a lower edge of the portable electronic device is positioned alongside an inside surface of the front flap at a first point, wherein the first back part remains fixedly attached to the first structure, alongside a back of the portable electronic device, while the second back part is rotated away from the back of the portable electronic device; and allowing folding into a second stand position by rotating the second hinge in the first rotation direction so the lower edge of the portable electronic device is positioned alongside the inside surface of the front flap at a second point that is closer to the first cover edge than is the first point, wherein the portable electronic device is inserted into the cover by sliding the back of the portable electronic device until the upper edge of the portable electronic device is stopped by at least a portion of the first structure.
