Abstract
A protective case which offers an efficient protective position without hindering an easy positioning of the apparatus in a slanted position. The case includes a back face, a front face, an edge connecting the back face with the front face and forming a first articulation between the front face and the back face in order to make it possible for the case to move between and from a first open position where the front face is coplanar with the back face to a second protective position where the front face is folded over the back face.

A case for protecting a portable electronic apparatus, the case comprising:
- a back face;
- a front face;
- an edge connecting the back face with the front face and forming a first articulation between the front face and the back face, wherein the case is shiftable between a first open position where the front face is coplanar with the back face, and a second protective position where the front face is folded over the back face;
- fixing means configured to attach the portable electronic apparatus on the back face such that the portable electronic apparatus is positioned between the back face and the front face when the case is in the protective position;
- and
- elastic means positioned to maintain the front face folded over the back face when the case is in the protective position,
- wherein the back face includes a first and a second portion connected by a second articulation, the second portion being positioned between the second articulation and the edge,
- wherein the fixing means is fitted on the first portion of the back face,
- wherein the first portion of the back face and the fixing means is adapted to swivel backwards around the second articulation such as to move away from the front face, to shift the case into a third position called a standing position,
- wherein the elastic means are positioned to pull the second portion from the back face to the front face in order to maintain the case in the standing position.
