3. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the fourth plate portions stands on the first plate portion, retaining the second plate portion at an acute angle relative to the first plate portion.

4. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: a connecting area connecting the base and the cover, the cover foldable relative to the base around the connecting area.

5. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first plate portion, the second plate portion, the two fourth plate portions, and the two third plate portions are positioned apart from each other and foldable relative to each other, the first plate portion and the second plate portion defines a first folding area therebetween, the two third plate portions and the first plate portion define two opposite second folding areas therebetween, the two fourth plate portions and the second plate portion defines two opposite third folding areas therebetween, and the third plate portions and the fourth plate portions defines two opposite fourth folding areas therebetween.

6. A foldable holder for holding and supporting a portable electronic device, comprising:

a base defining a receiving space in a front surface for receiving the electronic device and having a latching portion on a back surface;

a connecting area;

a foldable cover connecting the base with the connecting area;

wherein, when the holder is unfolded, the cover faces the front surface of the base and the portable electronic device is covered by the cover, the portable electronic device can be held by the foldable holder at a position abutting the connecting area;

when the holder is folded by folding the cover, the cover is folded around the connecting area to face the back surface of the base to expose the electronic device for use from the front surface and the cover is held between the latching portion and the back surface of the base, the position of the portable electronic device relative to the connecting area is maintained, and the portable electronic device can be simultaneously supported by the cover in an angled orientation.

7. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the cover comprises a first plate portion, a second plate portion, two fourth plate portions, and two third plate portions, the two fourth plate portions are positioned at two opposite sides of the second plate portion, each of the third plate portions is positioned between the corresponding one fourth plate portion and the first plate portion, the second plate portion, the two fourth plate portions and the two third plate portions configured to fold towards the first plate portion, the third plate portions are non-perpendicularly supported by the first plate portion when the portable electronic device is supported in the angled position.

8. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 7 , wherein:

the first plate portion and the second plate portion has a first folding area between them, the first plate portion can be folded relative to the second portion along the first folding area;

each third plate portions forms a second folding area connecting to the first plate portion, and the third plate portions can be folded relative to the first plate portion along the second folding area;

each fourth plate portion forms a third folding area with the second plate portion, and the fourth plate portion can be folded relative to the second plate portion along the third folding area;

each fourth plate portion forms a fourth folding area with a corresponding third plate portion, and the fourth plate portion can be folded relative to the corresponding third plate portion along the fourth folding area.

9. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first plate portion has an upper margin and a bottom margin parallel with the upper margin, the upper margin is adjacent to a side of the first folding area and the bottom margin is adjacent to a side of the connecting area.

10. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the second plate portion has an upper edge and a bottom edge parallel with the upper edge, the upper edge is adjacent to the side of the first folding area opposite to the upper margin, the bottom edge has the same length with the connecting area and is located at a side of the cover.

11. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second plate portion and the first plate portion are isosceles trapezoid shaped, the two third plate portions are triangular, and the two fourth plate portions are triangular.

12. The foldable holder as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the each of the fourth plate portions stands on the first plate portion, retaining the second plate portion at an acute angle relative to the first plate portion.
