         2 . The protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein the cover body is formed with an aperture corresponding in position to each part of the tablet PC that is configured for interacting with outside. 
     
     
         3 . The protective cover of  claim 2 , wherein the cover body is made of a resilient material. 
     
     
         4 . The protective cover of  claim 3 , wherein the fastening portion is formed by an extension of the periphery of the cover body. 
     
     
         5 . The protective cover of  claim 4 , wherein each said gripping portion is formed by an extension of the periphery of the cover body toward the receiving space. 
     
     
         6 . A protective cover capable of fastening a pivot shaft of a screen cover of a tablet personal computer (tablet PC), wherein the protective cover is applicable to a tablet PC and a screen cover of the tablet PC, the tablet PC including a front cover and a back cover and being provided with a connecting portion adjacent to a lateral edge of the tablet PC where the front cover and the back cover are connected, the screen cover including a pivot shaft, two bearing seats, a turning rod, and a covering portion, the pivot shaft being connectable to the connecting portion by engagement or attraction therebetween, the pivot shaft having two ends respectively and pivotally connected in the bearing seats, the turning rod having two ends respectively and pivotally connected in the bearing seats, the turning rod being spaced from the pivot shaft by a gap, the turning rod having an axis parallel to an axis of the pivot shaft, the covering portion having an end covering a surface of the turning rod such that the covering portion can be turned about the turning rod to cover or not cover a screen provided on the front cover, the protective cover comprising:
 a cover body having a side concavely provided with a receiving space for receiving the back cover of the tablet PC, the cover body being formed with an opening corresponding in position to each said bearing seat;   at least a gripping portion provided at a periphery of the cover body that is adjacent to the receiving space, wherein each said gripping portion has a hook-shaped configuration curving toward the receiving space and corresponds in shape to a peripheral edge of the tablet PC such that, once the back cover is received in the receiving space, each said gripping portion hooks to the peripheral edge of the tablet PC and thereby connects the cover body and the back cover together; and   a fastening portion provided on the cover body and corresponding in position to the connecting portion such that, once the cover body and the back cover are connected together, the fastening portion fastens the pivot shaft.   
     
     
         7 . The protective cover of  claim 6 , wherein the fastening portion fastens the pivot shaft from outside the pivot shaft, and wherein the fastening portion has an end inserted in the gap between the pivot shaft and the turning rod such that, when the bearing seats are turned about the pivot shaft, the turning rod is turned about the pivot shaft outside the fastening portion. 
     
     
         8 . The protective cover of  claim 7 , wherein the cover body is formed with an aperture corresponding in position to each part of the tablet PC that is configured for interacting with outside. 
     
     
         9 . The protective cover of  claim 8 , wherein the cover body is made of a resilient material. 
     
     
         10 . The protective cover of  claim 9 , wherein the fastening portion is formed by an extension of the periphery of the cover body. 
     
     
         11 . The protective cover of  claim 10 , wherein each said gripping portion is formed by an extension of the periphery of the cover body toward the receiving space.
