3 . The case of claim 2 , wherein the lip of the first sidewall includes a recess defined therein and configured to receive the magnetic member.
4 . The case of claim 2 , wherein the first sidewall has a cover coupled to the lip to lie over the magnetic member.
5 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sidewalls includes a second sidewall, a third sidewall, and a fourth sidewall, and wherein the rear wall is coupled to the second sidewall, the third sidewall, and the fourth sidewall.
6 . The case of claim 5 , wherein the first sidewall is a bottom sidewall, the second sidewall is a top sidewall, the third sidewall is a left sidewall, and the fourth sidewall is a right sidewall.
7 . A case for a portable electronic device having a kickstand, the case comprising:
a plurality of sidewalls including at least one sidewall having a lip configured to securely couple the kickstand to the case, the lip having a recess defined therein;
a cavity defined by the plurality of sidewalls, the cavity configured to receive the portable electronic device such that the plurality of sidewalls support the portable electronic device; and
a magnetic member received within the recess, the magnetic member configured to interact with the kickstand and magnetically secure the kickstand with the case.
8 . The case of claim 7 , wherein the lip of the at least one sidewall extends into the cavity.
9 . The case of claim 7 , wherein the recess of the lip has a rectangular shape.
10 . The case of claim 7 , wherein the recess is a one of a plurality of recesses and the magnetic member is one of a plurality of magnetic members, wherein each of the plurality of magnetic members is positioned in one of the plurality of recesses, and wherein adjacent magnetic members of the plurality of magnetic members are spaced from each other by a gap.
11 . The case of claim 7 , further comprising a cover coupled to the lip to lie over the magnetic member.
12 . A case for a portable electronic device having a kickstand, the case comprising:
a plurality of sidewalls;
a lip extending from a first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls and configured to securely couple the kickstand to the case;
a set of ribs formed along an interior portion of a second sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls;
a rear wall coupled to one of the plurality of sidewalls; and
a cavity defined by the plurality of sidewalls and the rear wall, the cavity configured to receive the portable electronic device such that the plurality of sidewalls and the rear wall support the portable electronic device,
wherein the lip of the first sidewall extends into the cavity.
13 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the lip of the first sidewall includes a magnetic member configured to interact with the kickstand and magnetically secure the kickstand with the case.
14 . The case of claim 13 , wherein the lip of the first sidewall includes a recess defined therein and configured to receive the magnetic member.
15 . The case of claim 14 , further comprising a cover coupled to the lip to lie over the magnetic member.
16 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the set of ribs is a first set of ribs and wherein a second set of ribs is formed along an interior portion of at least one sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls in addition to the second sidewall.
17 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the rear wall is spaced from the first sidewall such that a rear opening is defined therebetween.
18 . The case of claim 12 , wherein the lip extends from the first sidewall in a direction toward the rear wall.
19 . The case of claim 12 , further comprising an opening defined within the rear wall and configured to receive an electronic writing implement.
20 . The case of claim 12 , further comprising an opening defined within the rear wall and configured to surround a camera of the portable electronic device.
