Abstract
A cover structure for portable electronic device includes a rotating member, a cover, a retaining member and a main housing. The rotating member includes a head portion, a column and two wings projecting from the column. The cover defines a through hole allowing the column and the wings to extend through. The retaining member clasps the column to preventing the rotating member from getting away from the cover. The main housing defines a receiving hole. Two blocks and two slopes are formed in the receiving hole. The wings of the rotating member respectively rotate along the slopes to be locked by the blocks when the cover is attached to the main housing.
