Fabric signal path structures for flexible devices

A cover for an electronic device, comprising:

• a body having hinge portions that allow the body to bend about at least one bend axis;
• electrical contacts formed on an outer surface of the body;
• and
• a flexible fabric signal path structure within the body that overlaps the bend axis and that has signal paths that carry signals across the bend axis, wherein the signal paths are electrically coupled to the electrical contacts.

A cover for a tablet computer, comprising:

• a body having opposing first and second ends and having a hinge portion that allows the body to bend about a bend axis at a location between the first and second ends;
• a keyboard having a printed circuit;
• a connector;
• and
• a flexible fabric signal path structure in the body that has metal traces that are coupled to the keyboard at the first and that are coupled to the connector at the second end.
