1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a protective case for an electronic device, and in particular to a protective case for a portable electronic device.
2. The Prior Arts
As technology advances, portable electronic devices, such as tablet computers, are increasingly becoming popular. The tablet computer is equipped with a touch screen as a primary input device, and therefore it may use virtual keyboard and handwriting recognition for text input through the touch screen. The tablet computer may also be operated by a keyboard, a mouse or other accessories through wireless connection or various transmission interfaces. As the portable electronic devices become thinner and more lightweight, protective cases are needed to provide protection. Although there are a lot of protective cases available in the market, they only provide various ways to insert the electronic device into the protective case. The conventional designs also provide various ways to place the electronic device on desk. However, there is no protective case designed for the travelers.
Therefore, there is a need for an improved protective case that can solve the prior art problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA primary objective of the present invention is to provide a protective case for a portable electronic device that can satisfy the traveler's needs in outdoor environment, such as in combination with a luggage.
In order to achieve the objective, a protective case according to the present invention comprises a first holder element having an adapter member, and a second holder element connected with the first holder element. The second holder element is adapted to receive and hold a portable electronic device. The first holder element is operable to open or close on the electronic device by folding, the first holder element entirely covers the electronic device when being closed, and the protective case is adapted to be held with a rod element through the adapter member.
The protective case provides protection and portability of the electronic device, and can also be conveniently attached with a luggage, boarding luggage, and other similar frames. Accordingly, the electronic device can be conveniently carried for use during travel and business trips. Moreover, the electronic device can be pivotally adjusted to satisfy different orientations of use.
The present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art by reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments thereof, with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
