DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a first embodiment of a protector for enveloping a tablet electronic device 100 includes a first protecting portion 10, a second protecting portion 20, and a zipper 30.

The first protecting portion 10 includes a transparent window portion 11 for covering a front panel 101 of the tablet electronic device 100, and a frame 13 extending from edges of the window portion 11 for surrounding a plurality of edges 103 of the tablet electronic device 100. The window portion 11 is made of anticorrosive material.

The second protecting portion 20 is integrally formed with the frame 13, and is made of anticorrosive material. The zipper 30 is connected to the second protecting portion 20. Therefore, the second protecting portion 20 can be opened to remove the tablet electronic device 100.

In the first embodiment, the zipper 30 is L-shaped, and the second protecting portion 20 includes four sides connected end to end. Two adjacent sides of the second protecting portion 20 are integrally connected with the frame 13. The other two adjacent sides of the second protecting portion 20 are detachably connected to the frame 13 through the zipper 30. In the second embodiment, the zipper 30 is linear. Three sides of the second protecting portion 20 are connected integrally with the frame 13. The remaining side of the second protecting portion 20 is detachably connected to the frame 13 through a zipper 30a (as shown in FIG. 4). The zippers 30 and 30a are made of anticorrosive material. The zippers 30 and 30a can be waterproof zippers or waterproof self-sealing zippers. The zippers 30 and 30a can be attached to the frame 13 and the second protecting portion 20 by glue or melting.

In use, unzipping the zippers 30 and 30a to insert the tablet electronic device 100 into the protector, the zipper 30 or 30a is then zipped to envelop the tablet electronic device 100 in the protector.

Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
