Abstract
Disclosed herein is a case or cover for protecting the housing of a folding portable electronic device such as a smart phone with a folding display. The case or cover includes a first and second portion hingedly joined to a hinge protecting portion. The case or cover allows the encase phone to lie flat when in the fully opened position and included thinner first and second case portions proximate to the hinge cover to minimize the gaps between the case portions during the transition from a fully open to a fully closed position.
