Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to a protective case for a
tablet computer, and more especially, to a protective case used to
hold and protect iPad products.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] At present, the iPad tablet computer produced by Apple Inc.
has become popular all over the world and a symbol of "fashion".
Since the product is a tablet style, it is inconvenient to use and
carry about without other auxiliary equipment. Therefore, some
packing devices for the tablet computer are available on the market
for carrying the tablet computer. However, these devices fail to
provide a support for a tablet computer and are inconvenient to
use.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present invention aims at providing a protective case
for a tablet computer capable of containing a tablet computer and
being used as a tablet computer support, thus achieving convenient
utilization and prevention of the tablet computer from accidental
damage.
[0006] To realize the purpose above, a protective case is provided
by the present invention, comprising a foldable cover, and a
protective shell that may be connected to the cover in different
ways. The protective shell includes a curve-shaped base plate that
perfectly fits the back of the tablet computer, and four hooks that
are located at the corners of the base plate.
[0007] Preferably, two baffles are configured on the edges of both
sides of the protective shell, one of the two baffles is connected
and integrated with the hooks located at the two corresponding
corners and the other which is provided with a notch is connected
and integrated with the hooks located at the two corresponding
corners.
[0008] Preferably, elliptical magic tape, used to connect with the
internal surface of the protective case, is configured on the back
of the base plate of the protective shell.
[0009] Preferably, strip-shaped magic tape, used to connect with
the internal surface of the protective case when using the tablet
computer, is configured on the external surface of the baffles of
the protective shell.
[0010] Preferably, round magic tape, used to connect with the
internal surface of the protective case when using the tablet
computer, is configured on the back of the structure that end faces
of the protective shell are provided with the four hooks.
[0011] Preferably, the external surface of the protective case is
made of leather material and the internal surface is made of
flexible materials such as flannelette.
[0012] The favorable effects of the present invention are as
follows: Within this structure, the two curve-shaped baffles are
configured on the edges of both side of the protective shell and
the four hooks are at the corner, then the iPad tablet computer can
be fastened tightly in the protective shell to prevent it from
falling; afterwards, the protective shell and tablet computer are
put in the protective case for the convenience of carrying. When
using the tablet computer, lay the protective shell in the
protective case together with the tablet computer and adjust the
angle, then affix it on the protective case. Since the angle can be
adjusted arbitrarily, it is easy to use.
[0013] Detailed description of the technical scheme of the present
invention will be given in combination with the drawing and
embodiments.
