Folding protective cover for an electronic device

1. A protective case, comprising:

a back cover configured to secure an electronic reading device; and

a front cover connected to the back cover by a hinge,

wherein the front cover is divided into a first stiffener section, a second stiffener section, a third stiffener section, a fourth stiffener section, and a fifth stiffener section that are defined by a first crease, a second crease, a third crease, and a fourth crease,

wherein the first stiffener section is in a shape of a triangle, and is bordered by the first crease, the second crease, and the hinge,

wherein the second stiffener section is in a form of a triangle, and is bordered by the first crease and the third crease, and the second stiffener section is smaller in area than the first stiffener section,

wherein the third stiffener section is the same shape and size as the second stiffener section, but is a mirror image of the second stiffener section, and the third stiffener section is bordered by the second crease and the third crease,

wherein the fourth stiffener section and the fifth stiffener section form a flap at an end of the front cover that is opposite the hinge, and the fourth stiffener section and the fifth stiffener section are the same size and are mirror images of each other, and are separated by the fourth crease, and

wherein an outer side of the front cover has a gap that is located between an angled edge of the fourth stiffener section and an angled edge of the fifth stiffener section,

wherein the angled edge of the fourth stiffener section and the angled edge of the fifth stiffener section each have an angle between 30 and 60 degrees relative to the vertical when the entire front cover is parallel to the ground.

2. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the angle is 45 degrees relative to the vertical.

3. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the angled edge of the fourth stiffener section and the angled edge of the fifth stiffener section prevent complete folding of the fourth stiffener section and the fifth stiffener section when outer surfaces of the fourth stiffener section and the fifth stiffener section are moved towards each other about the fourth crease.

4. The protective case of claim 3 , wherein an inner side of the front cover has a gap that is located in between the fourth stiffener section and the fifth stiffener section, and

wherein the gap on the inner side of the front cover is narrower than the gap on the outer side of the front cover.

5. The protective case of claim 4 , wherein the gap on the inner side of the front cover is configured to permit the fourth stiffener section and the fifth stiffener section to rotate about the fourth crease and contact each other.

6. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the first stiffener section has a plurality of magnets embedded therein, and the back cover has a plurality of corresponding stand plates embedded therein.

7. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein a first closure magnet is located in the fourth stiffener section, and a second closure magnet is located in the fifth stiffener section.

8. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein an inner side of the front cover is covered with a microfiber material.

9. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the outer side of the front cover is covered with polyurethane (PU) leather.

10. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein an outer side of the back cover is covered with PU leather.

11. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein an inner side of the back cover includes a plurality of indentations for weight reduction.

12. The protective case of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of indentations form a honeycomb structure.

13. The protective case of claim 1 , wherein the back cover is non-foldable.
