Abstract

A foldable jacket for a general purpose portable computer includes a first protective panel having first and second sub-panels foldably connected along a first fold line. The first sub-panel has a fastener for fastening to the computer. A second protective panel is foldably connected to the first protective panel along a second fold line. A third protective panel is foldably connected to the second protective panel along a third fold line. A strap extending from the first sub-panel is capable of fastening to the third panel to secure the jacket substantially around the computer with the first and second sub-panels lying along the same plane. The jacket is also capable of being folded along the first and second fold lines such that the first and second sub-panels are at an angle relative to each other as well as the third panel. The first sub-panel is fastened to the third panel at an angle to tilt the computer for viewing and use.
