The case includes a first panel configured to receive a tablet device on a first face of the first panel, a second panel pivotably coupled to the first panel and configured to receive a keyboard on a first face of the second panel, and a cover portion pivotably coupled to the first panel and configured to enclose the first panel and the second panel such that a first face of the cover portion is disposed in facing relation to the first panel and in facing relation to the second panel. In another embodiment, the second panel is pivotably and removably coupled to the first panel. In other embodiments, a keyboard sleeve or a custom keyboard is coupled or removably coupled to the first panel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A combination protective case and stand for a tablet device and keyboard, comprising:
 a first panel configured to receive a tablet device on a first face of the first panel;   a second panel pivotably and removably coupled to the first panel and configured to receive a keyboard; and   a cover portion pivotably coupled to the first panel,   wherein the second panel can be pivoted so as to place the second panel in facing relation to a second face of the first panel, and   wherein the cover portion is configured to enclose the first panel and the second panel such that a first face of the cover portion is disposed in facing relation to the first face of the first panel and in facing relation to the second panel.   
     
     
         2 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the cover portion comprises:
 a first cover panel;   a second cover panel; and   a central cover panel disposed between the first cover panel and second cover panel.   
     
     
         3 . The case of  claim 2 , wherein:
 when the second panel is positioned in facing relation to the second face of the first panel, the first cover panel can be pivoted so as to be disposed in facing relation to the second panel; and   the central cover panel can be pivoted so as to be disposed in facing relation to the first cover panel.   
     
     
         4 . The case of  claim 2 , wherein:
 when the second cover panel and the central cover panel are placed on a surface, the first panel can be oriented in an angled relation to the surface; and   a position and an angle of the first panel can be secured.   
     
     
         5 . The case of  claim 4 , wherein the first cover panel supports the first panel. 
     
     
         6 . A combination protective case and stand for a tablet device and keyboard, comprising:
 a main panel configured to receive a tablet device on a first face of the main panel;   a sleeve coupled to a second face of the main panel and configured to receive a keyboard therein; and   a cover portion pivotably coupled to the main panel,   wherein the cover portion is configured to enclose the main panel and the sleeve such that a first face of the cover portion is disposed in facing relation to the first face of the main panel and in facing relation to the sleeve.   
     
     
         7 . The case of  claim 6 , wherein the sleeve is removably coupled to the second face of the main panel. 
     
     
         8 . The case of  claim 6 ; further comprising:
 at least one fastener disposed on the second face of the panel; and   at least one complementary fastener disposed on the sleeve.   
     
     
         9 . The case of  claim 6 , wherein the cover portion comprises:
 a first cover panel;   a second cover panel; and   a central cover panel disposed between the first cover panel and second cover panel.   
     
     
         10 . The case of  claim 9 , wherein
 when the second cover panel and the central cover panel are placed on a surface, the main panel can be oriented in an angled relation to the surface; and   a position and an angle of the main panel can be secured.   
     
     
         11 . The case of  claim 10 , wherein the first cover panel supports the main panel. 
     
     
         12 . A combination protective case and stand for a tablet device and keyboard, comprising:
 a main panel configured to receive a tablet device on a first face of the main panel;   a sleeve coupled to a second face of the main panel and configured to receive a keyboard therein; and   a cover portion pivotably coupled to the sleeve,   wherein the cover portion is configured to enclose the main panel and the sleeve such that a first face of the cover portion is disposed in facing relation to the first face of the main panel and in facing relation to a portion of the sleeve.   
     
     
         13 . The case of  claim 12 , wherein the cover portion comprises:
 a first cover panel;   a second cover panel; and   a central cover panel disposed between the first cover panel and second cover panel.   
     
     
         14 . The case of  claim 13 , wherein
 when the second cover panel and the central cover panel form a zero angle or a substantially acute angle with a surface, the main panel can be oriented in an angled relation to the surface; and   a position and an angle of the main panel can be secured.   
     
     
         15 . The case of  claim 14 , wherein the second cover panel supports the main panel. 
     
     
         16 . A combination protective case and stand for a tablet device and keyboard, comprising:
