10. The cover of claim 1 ,
wherein the second plate of the second cover includes a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to the third surface, the third surface facing the second housing when the cover is combined with the foldable electronic device,
wherein the opening part includes:
a third portion connected to a first area of the fourth surface of the second cover, a fourth portion connected to a second area of the fourth surface of the second cover, and a fifth portion connecting the third portion and the fourth portion and positioned to be spaced apart from a third area of the fourth surface of the second cover between the first and second areas, and
an opening formed by the third portion, the fourth portion, the fifth portion, and the third area, and
wherein the second portion of the strap is configured to pass through the opening.
11. The cover of claim 10 , further comprising:
a flexible sheet disposed on the third surface of the second cover.
12. The cover of claim 1 , wherein when the cover is combined with the foldable electronic device, a first edge of the first cover is disposed at a first position corresponding to a folding axis of the foldable electronic device, a second edge of the second cover is disposed at a second position corresponding to the folding axis, and a part of the second portion of the strap extends across the folding axis between the first edge and the second edge, and
wherein when the cover is combined with the foldable electronic device in a folded state, a part of the second portion of the strap at least partially covers a hinge cover of the hinge portion.
13. The cover of claim 12 , wherein a part of the second portion of the strap adjacent to the second edge is disposed in a recess provided on the fourth surface of the second cover adjacent to the second edge based on the cover being combined with the foldable electronic device.
