  • Publication number: 20110289739
    Abstract: A clip for securing electronic readers to their covers substantially precludes lifting the reader off its cover and breaking the attachment of the reader to the cover, potentially damaging the reader. The clip comprises, in one embodiment, a generally C-shaped flexible and resilient plastic-coated fabrication having upper and lower transversely extending leg members extending in face-to-face relation from a horizontally extending supporting leg member to define an opening and passageway for receiving the assembly of an c-reader and end cover. The transversely extending leg members are bent toward each other at an angle to flexibly and resiliently receive the e-reader and cover assembly and to frictionally and securingly retain the assembly in the passageway. By slightly bending the transverse legs as needed, the clip can easily be installed and removed. The clip is designed for the Amazon® Kindle® and related models of e-readers and can be used with e-readers from other sources as well.
