Abstract

A protective cover having a front cover, a rear cover including a middle rear cover, an exterior rear cover, and a folding portion that connects the middle rear cover to the exterior rear cover, an articulable back that connects the rear cover to the front cover, a holding sheet that is attached to an inner surface of the exterior rear cover and is not attached to the middle rear cover, the holding sheet having bands located at corners of the holding sheet, the bands configured to be attached to corners of an electronic device for securing the electronic device to the protective cover, and an anti-slip pad attached to an inner surface of the front cover.

1 . A protective cover for an electronic device comprising:
 a front cover;   a rear cover including a middle rear cover, an exterior rear cover, and a folding portion that connects the middle rear cover to the exterior rear cover;   an articulable back that connects the rear cover to the front cover;   a holding sheet that is attached to an inner surface of the exterior rear cover and is not attached to the middle rear cover, the holding sheet having bands located at corners of the holding sheet, the bands configured to attach to corners of the electronic device for securing the electronic device to the protective cover; and   an anti-slip pad attached to an inner surface of the front cover.   
     
     
         2 . The protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein the anti-slip pad has an upper surface having a friction coefficient, the friction coefficient maintaining a position of the electronic device secured by the holding sheet in a configuration where the exterior rear cover is angled from the middle rear cover at the folding portion such that the holding sheet is spaced from the inner surface of the middle rear cover, and an edge of the electronic device is positioned onto the anti-slip pad. 
     
     
         3 . The protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein the anti-slip pad is formed as a longitudinal pad that is arranged substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis formed by the articulable back. 
     
     
         4 . The protective cover of  claim 1 , wherein the holding sheet is made of a single piece of an elastic mat. 
     
     
         5 . The protective cover of  claim 4 , wherein the holding sheet includes openings in each corner of the holding sheet to form the bands. 
     
     
         6 . An electronic device casing comprising:
 a front cover sheet;   a rear cover sheet including a middle section, an exterior section, and a hinge portion that connects the middle section to the exterior section of the rear cover sheet, the front cover and the rear cover having inner surfaces that face each other when the tabled casing is in a closed state;   a spine portion that connects the rear cover sheet to the front cover sheet;   an elastic flat holding mat that is attached to an inner surface of the exterior section of the rear cover sheet, the holding mat having openings located at corners of the holding mat, the openings configured to pull over corners of the electronic device so that the opening engage with the corners of the electronic device for securing the electronic device to the casing; and   an anti-slip pad attached to an inner surface of the front cover sheet.   
     
     
         7 . casing according to  claim 6 , wherein the elastic flat holding mat is not attached to the middle section of the rear cover sheet.
