Abstract
A protective cover for an electronic device includes a first hardshell member, a second hardshell member, and a flexible hinge member. The first hardshell member removably attaches to a first portion of the electronic device to protect the first portion of the electronic device. The second hardshell member removably attaches to a second portion of the electronic device to protect the second portion of the electronic device. The flexible hinge member includes a flexible material and is attached to the first hardshell member and the second hardshell member such that the flexible hinge member aligns with a hinge of the electronic device. The flexible hinge member flexes to allow the second portion of the electronic device to remain articulable relative to the first portion of the electronic device when the protective cover is on the electronic device.
