  • Patent number: 6024508
    Abstract: A folio having a flip-over pad is disclosed. The folio has a front cover, a back cover, and, attached to the back cover, a pad holder into which a note pad or pad of paper may be inserted. The pad holder is configured such that the note pad can be stored between the front and back covers when the folio is closed and access to the pad is not needed or can extend around a front edge of the front cover to lay flat on the front cover when the folio is closed and access to the pad is desired. This configuration allows the folio to be in a normal closed position during use of the pad, rather than having the covers folded back in an extreme position with the cover outside surfaces facing each other.
