Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A protective cover comprising:
 a housing;   a connecting portion extended from a back portion of the housing, an angle being formed between the connecting portion and the back portion of the housing; and   a ring positioned at an end portion of the connecting portion.   
     
     
         2 . The protective cover according to  claim 1 , wherein a groove is defined on the back portion of the housing, the groove matches the connecting portion and the ring for receiving the connecting portion and the ring. 
     
     
         3 . The protective cover according to  claim 2 , wherein the ring and the connecting portion can be received in the groove under a pressing force towards the back portion of the housing. 
     
     
         4 . The protective cover according to  claim 2 , wherein the groove comprises a first groove and a second groove, the first groove matches the connecting portion for receiving the connecting portion, and the second groove matches the ring for receiving the ring. 
     
     
         5 . The protective cover according to  claim 4 , wherein the second groove forms an interference fit with the ring, and the ring can be deformed to be received in the second groove under a pressing force towards the back portion of the housing. 
     
     
         6 . The protective cover according to  claim 2 , wherein a recess is defined on the back portion of the housing near the edge of the groove. 
     
     
         7 . The protective cover according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion is made of thermoplastic polyurethane rubber.

         11 . A method for making a protective cover, the protective cover comprising a housing, a connecting portion extended from a back portion of the housing, an angle being formed between the connecting portion and the back portion of the housing, and a ring positioned at an end portion of the connecting portion; wherein the connecting portion is formed by injecting from the back portion of the housing. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 11 , wherein the connecting portion is made of thermoplastic polyurethane rubber. 
     
     
         13 . A method for making a protective cover, the protective cover comprising a housing, a connecting portion extended from a back portion of the housing, an angle being formed between the connecting portion and the back portion of the housing, and a ring positioned at an end portion of the connecting portion; wherein the connecting portion and the ring are formed by injecting from the back portion of the housing.
