Accessory case for electronic device and electronic device comprising same

1 . An accessory case for protecting an exterior of an electronic device, comprising:

a protective cover, including a front side and a rear side, for accommodating the electronic device in the front side, and further including a recess in the rear side; and

a stand rotatably coupled to the protective cover about an axis of rotation,

wherein the stand includes,

a stand body; and

at least one protrusion protruding from at least one end of the stand body in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, and

wherein the protective cover comprises at least one hooking portion which is restrained to the protective cover, as the stand rotates from a first state to a second state,

wherein the stand is mounted in the recess, such that the at least one hooking portion and the at least

one protrusion are non-overlapping in the first state,

wherein the stand is at least partially spaced apart from the recess in the second state, such that the at least one protrusion is configured to overlap the at least one hooking portion, and

wherein the stand is restrained to the accessory case as the at least one protrusion is engaged with the at least one hooking portion.

2 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the protective cover comprises a first coupling member formed in the rear side of the protective cover,

the stand comprises a second coupling member extending from the stand body and rotatably coupled to the first coupling member of the protective cover.

3 . The accessory case of claim 2 , wherein the first coupling member comprises a bar, and

the second coupling member comprises a rotatable gripper that can selectively force-fitted into the bar, thereby allowing the stand to rotate with respect to the protective cover.

4 . The accessory case of claim 3 , wherein the bar comprises a groove formed in an area contacting the rotatable gripper, and

wherein the stand is detachably secured to the protective cover by overlapping the gripper into the groove.

5 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hooking portion extends from the recess and formed symmetrically along one axis of the recess, wherein

wherein the at least one hooking portion extends in an inversed-L shape.

6 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hooking portion extends from the recess and formed symmetrically along one axis of the recess, and

wherein the at least one hooking portion extends in a C-shape.

7 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein a protection pad is attached onto an outer side of the at least one hooking portion to prevent abrasion of the at least one hooking portion from an external impact.

8 . The accessory case of claim 1 , further comprising a stand cover for protecting a couple portion between one end of the stand and the protective cover.

9 . The accessory case of claim 1 , further comprising a stand cover detachable coupled to the rear side of the protective cover.

10 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the stand further comprises at least one first fastener configured to couple to the protective cover, and

wherein the protective cover further comprises a second fastener on a rear side thereof and detachably engages with the at least one first fastener.

11 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hooking portion extends from one side of the recess, and

a thickness of the at least one hooking portion gradually tapers in an oblique line as extending from one side of the recess to a terminal end of the at least one hooking portion.

12 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the at least one protrusion gradually tapers as extending from at least one end of the stand body to a terminal end of the at least one protrusion.

13 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the at least one protrusion comprises a first protrusion, a second protrusion, a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion, and

the first protrusion, the second protrusion, the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion are formed symmetrically along one axis of the stand body.

14 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the at least one hooking portion comprises at least one groove, and

a movement of the stand with respect to the protective cover is fixed as the stand enters the second state and the at least one protrusion is inserted into the at least one groove.

15 . The accessory case of claim 1 , wherein the protective cover is formed of a plastic material.

16 . An electronic device comprising:

a housing including a display disposed on a front side, and comprising a recess on a rear side; and

a stand rotatably coupled to the housing about an axis of rotation,

wherein the stand comprises,

a stand body; and

a protrusion protruding from at least one end of the stand body in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation,

wherein the housing comprises a hooking portion which is restrained to the housing, as the stand rotates from a first state to a second state,

wherein the stand is mounted in the recess, such that the hooking portion and the protrusion are non-overlapping in the first state,

wherein the stand is at least partially spaced apart from the recess in the second state, such that the protrusion is configured to overlap the hooking portion, and

wherein the stand is restrained to the housing as the protrusion is engaged with the hooking portions.

17 . The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the housing further comprises a bar crossing along a center portion of the recess,

wherein the stand comprises a tongs-shaped gripper extending from the stand body and selectively force-fitted into the bar of the housing, thereby allowing the stand to rotate with respect to the housing.

18 . The electronic device of claim 16 , further comprising a stand cover

detachable coupled to one end of the recess of the housing.
