Abstract
An improved protective case for a portable, or laptop, computer is described. In particular, a protective case designed such that the computer may be kept therein during transport, storage, or use, is described. The protective case provides flexible hinge means to accommodate opening and closing the computer and case while the two remained attached to each other. The protective case contains means for protecting the computer from damage that may result from physical shock. The protective case provides for convenient access to all four sides of the portable computer, where necessary user interfaces, such as cable connectors, accessory ports and disk drives, are typically found, when the protective case is open, and protection therefor when the protective case is closed.
