Electronic device with protective case and operating method thereof
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a connector detachable from part of an electronic device including a display, and a cover connected to the connector, wherein the cover is capable of covering at least part of the display of the electronic device, and wherein the cover includes a window configured to expose the at least part of the display when the cover covers at least part of the display.
1. A cover comprising:
a protective case for selectively covering a display of an electronic device;
a window formed in the protective case for exposing a part of the display;
a magnet for indicating a position of the cover with respect to the display;
a connector for detachably connecting the cover to the electronic device; and
a shield unit for selectively blocking the magnet from indicating the position of the cover, the shield unit being disposed at a position overlapping with the magnet.
2. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the window comprises a plate which is partially transparent or translucent.
3. The cover of claim 1 , further comprising at least one magnet embedded in the cover.
4. The cover of claim 1 , further comprising an electronic integrated circuit (IC) chip embedded in the cover.
5. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the protective case comprises:
a first layer;
a second layer; and
a third layer that has a portion interposed between the first layer and the second layer,
wherein the first layer and the second layer each comprise an opening at a position for forming the window, and
wherein the third layer further comprises a portion which is at least partially transparent or translucent to form the window.
6. The cover of claim 5 , further comprising:
a linking part for interconnecting the connector and the cover,
wherein the linking part has at least one of bendability, tension, stiffness, and flexibility of a selected value.
7. The cover of claim 6 ,
wherein the third layer is disposed between a periphery of the first layer and a periphery of the second layer,
wherein the third layer is interposed between the first layer and the second layer, and
wherein the third layer is formed of a material imparting at least one of the bendability, the tension, the stiffness, and the flexibility of the selected value.
8. The cover of claim 5 , wherein a periphery of the first layer is attached to a periphery of the second layer.
9. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the connector is a battery cover capable of covering an embedded battery of the electronic device.
10. The cover of claim 1 , wherein the connector is capable of covering at least one side of an external housing of the electronic device.
11. The cover of claim 1 ,
wherein the magnet is detachable from the electronic device.
12. An electronic device comprising:
a body;
a display;
a rear cover detachable from the body;
a front cover for folding with the rear cover and covering the display;
a linking part configured to interconnect the front cover and the rear cover; and
a window disposed in the front cover for exposing a part of the display,
wherein the front cover comprises:
an inner layer configured to form a face for contacting the display,
a magnet for indicating a position of the front cover with respect to the display,
a shield unit for selectively blocking the magnet from indicating the position of the front cover, the shield unit being disposed at a position overlapping with the magnet, and
a plate interposed between the inner layer and an outer layer.
