A case for a portable electronic device comprising:
- a rectangularly shaped cover comprising first, second, third, and fourth cover edges, wherein the first and third cover edges extend in a first direction and are parallel to each other, the second and fourth cover edges extend in a second direction and are parallel to each other, the second direction is transverse to the first direction, and the second cover edge is longer than the first cover edge;
- a first hinge, formed in the cover between the first and third cover edges, extending in the first direction, and the cover from the first cover edge to the first hinge is a front flap, and the front flap has a first length from the first cover edge to the first hinge that is sufficiently long to cover a front screen of the portable electronic device when the front flap is folded via the first hinge to close the case;
- a second hinge, formed in the cover, between the third cover edge and the first hinge, extending in the first direction, parallel to the first hinge,
- wherein a first back part is between the third cover edge and the second hinge, and a second back part is between the second hinge and the first hinge;
- and
- a holder, coupled to the rectangularly shaped cover, that removably couples the portable electronic device to the case between the second hinge and the third cover edge,
- wherein when the portable electronic device is inserted into the holder, the first back part remains fixedly attached to the holder,
- when folded in a first stand position by rotating the second hinge in a first rotation direction so a bottom of the portable electronic device can rest on an inside surface of the front flap, and
- the first back part remains fixedly attached to the holder, alongside a back of the electronic tablet, while the second back part is rotated away from the back of the electronic tablet.
