  • Patent number: 9049792
    Abstract: A protection cover and a portable apparatus including the same are provided. The protection cover includes a front cover, a rear cover, and a coupling member. The front cover is mountable on the portable apparatus and covers a screen of the portable apparatus. The coupling member is formed of a flexible material such that the front cover is pivotable between and open and a closed position. The rear cover is mounted on the backside of the portable apparatus to serve as a rear case of the portable apparatus. The coupling member is integrally coupled with the front cover and separably coupled with the rear cover. According to the above structure, the protection cover can minimize the total volume and dimensions of the portable apparatus after it is mounted.

  • Patent number: 8876076
    Abstract: A cradle for stably cradling a portable terminal on a support surface in one of a plurality of possible orientations includes a case member having an open surface on which the portable terminal is to be cradled, a weighting member case disposed in an inner side of the case member along an edge of the open and a weighting member received movably inside the weighting member case, so that the weighting member is able to move under the influence of gravity to a lowest point inside the weighting member case irrespective of the orientation in which the case member is supported on the support surface. As the weighting member moves, the center of gravity of the cradle coupled with the portable terminal is moved to a position closest to the support surface on which the cradle is disposed, thereby maintaining a stable cradling state for the portable terminal.
