19 . The foldable electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the flexible décor panel further includes a first rigid plate coupled to the continuous groove on a side of the flip cover.
20 . The foldable electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the first rigid plate further includes at least one retainer disposed on an outer rim of the first rigid plate, and the continuous groove further includes at least one retainer hole corresponding to the retainer for containing the retainer.
21 . The foldable electronic device of claim 19 , wherein the continuous groove further includes at least one retainer hole therein, and a corresponding surface of the first rigid plate and the continuous groove further includes at least one bump for embedding into the corresponding retainer hole.
22 . The foldable electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the flexible décor panel further includes a second rigid plate coupled to the continuous groove on a side of the base portion.
23 . The foldable electronic device of claim 22 , wherein the second rigid plate further includes at least one retainer disposed on an outer rim of the second rigid plate, and the continuous groove further includes at least one retainer hole corresponding to the retainer for containing the retainer.
24 . The foldable electronic device of claim 22 , wherein the continuous groove further includes at least one retainer hole therein, and a corresponding surface of the second rigid plate and the continuous groove further includes at least one bump for embedding into the corresponding retainer hole.
25 . The foldable electronic device of claim 18 , wherein the flexible décor panel further includes an opening thereon.
26 . A foldable electronic device, comprising:
a foldable body, having a flip cover and a base portion pivotally coupled with each other, and the foldable body further includes a continuous groove disposed thereon and extended from the flip cover to the base portion; a first rigid plate, coupled to the continuous groove corresponding to a side of the flip cover; a second rigid plate, coupled to the continuous groove corresponding to a side of the base portion; and a flexible décor panel, coupled to the first rigid plate and the second rigid plate, wherein the flexible décor panel is deformed flexibly while the flip cover relatively rotates about the base portion.
27 . The foldable electronic device of claim 26 , wherein the first rigid plate and the second rigid plate further include at least one retainer disposed on an outer rim of the first rigid plate and the second rigid plate, and the continuous groove further includes at least one retainer hole corresponding to the retainer for containing the retainer.
28 . The foldable electronic device of claim 26 , wherein the continuous groove includes a plurality of retainer holes, and a corresponding surface of the first rigid plate, and the second rigid plate further includes a plurality of bumps for embedding into the corresponding plurality of retainer holes respectively.
29 . The foldable electronic device of claim 26 , wherein the flexible décor panel further includes an opening thereon.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
