Abstract

A case for enclosing and remaining attached to a tablet-computing device may include a rigid inner portion and an outer portion attached thereto. The case may be customized to accommodate a particular kind or type of tablet-computing device and may include an aperture aligned within the case to accommodate a feature of the inserted tablet-computing device. The case may be configured to elevate a tablet-computing device to an angled position relative to a planar position and/or maintain the tablet-computing device in the angled position. In some embodiments, the rigid inner portion may be removable from the case.

Claims (11)

1 . A case for enclosing and remaining attached to a tablet-computing device comprising:

a rigid inner portion shaped to accept and retain the tablet-computing device when inserted therein; and

an outer portion attached to the rigid inner portion, the outer portion including a first section and a second section, the first section being attached to and shaped to cover a backside of the rigid inner portion, the second section being shaped to cover the inserted tablet-computing device and connected to the first section via a flexible junction.

2 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the rigid inner portion includes a cut away portion sized and positioned to accommodate at least one of a user interface and a port included within the inserted tablet-computing device.

3 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the rigid inner portion is removably attached to the outer portion.

4 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the rigid inner portion is attached to the first section via a flexible junction, the second section includes a retaining mechanism, and the rigid inner portion includes an attachment mechanism for attaching to the retaining mechanism thereby elevating the tablet-computing device at an angled position relative to a planar position and maintaining the tablet-computing device at the angled position.

5 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the outer portion includes a third section connected to the first section via a flexible junction, the third section includes a retaining, mechanism and the first section includes an attachment mechanism for attaching to the retaining mechanism thereby elevating the tablet-computing device at an angled position relative to a planar position and maintaining the tablet-computing device at the angled position.

6 . The case of claim 1 , wherein a material comprising the outer portion is at least one of plastic, rubber, fabric, leather, cardboard, metal, and some combination thereof.

7 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the case is customized to accommodate a particular type of tablet-computing device.

8 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the case includes at least one aperture aligned within the case to accommodate a feature of the inserted tablet-computing device.

9 . The case of claim 1 , wherein a material comprising the rigid inner portion is at least one of a plastic, a metal, latex, wood, an elastomeric material, a composite, and rubber.
