  • Patent number: 8077854
    Abstract: An electronic device and a protection cover thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a cap body, a main body, a flexible printed circuit board and a protection cover. The protection cover includes a receiving portion and a combining portion. The receiving portion has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to an upper surface of the main body and the second end connects to the combining portion. As the cap body moves from a first position to a second position on the main body, the combining portion is coupled to a bottom surface of the cap body, so that when the cap body rotates in the second position, the protection cover moves along with the cap body and covers the flexible printed circuit board.
