Protective case
A protective case includes a housing, a base, and a connecting piece. A supporting groove is openly formed on one surface of the base for engaging a lateral edge of the housing. The connecting piece is soft and flexible. The connecting piece has two opposite end portions and a middle section disposed between the two end portions. The two end portions are connected to the housing and the base respectively, and the middle section is disposed in a removably detachable manner. Therefore, the supporting groove supports the housing to stand on the base, and the connecting piece can fix the housing to prevent toppling.
1. A protective case, comprising:
a housing;
a base, a supporting groove concavely disposed on one surface of the base for engaging with a lateral edge of the housing and supporting the housing to inclinedly stand on the base; and
a connecting piece, the connecting piece being soft, bendable, and flexible, the connecting piece having two opposite end portions and a middle section disposed between the two end portions, the two end portions being connected to the housing and the base respectively, wherein the connecting piece provides to the housing a pulling force relative to the base and thereby prevents the housing from toppling and falling off from the supporting groove when the housing is inclined forward or is detached;
wherein one of the end portions of the connecting piece is attached to one surface of the housing;
wherein a locating slot is concavely disposed on the one surface of the housing and has a shape corresponding to a contour of the one of the end portions, and the one of the end portions is always attached inside the locating slot when the housing covers the base and when the housing covers inclinedly stands on the base; and
wherein a clasping member is disposed on the lateral edge of the housing, and a contacting portion is protrudingly disposed inside the supporting groove to correspondingly engage with the clasping member to prevent the housing from falling backward outside of the supporting groove.
2. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein an accommodating space is formed at the other surface of the housing.
3. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the other of the end portions of the connecting piece is attached to a surface of the base.
4. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a top cover and a bottom cover correspondingly closed, the supporting groove is formed on the top cover, and one of the end portions of the connecting piece is sandwiched between the top cover and the bottom cover.
5. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein an input device is disposed on the base.
6. The protective case of claim 1 , comprising a plurality of connecting pieces.
7. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein a through hole is formed on the middle section of the connecting piece.
8. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein a total length from where the middle section of the connecting piece connects the housing to the lateral edge of the housing is approximately equal to a length of the middle section.
9. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein a material composing the connecting piece includes PU, knitted fabric, or leather.
