Abstract

Foldable electronic devices including a first and a second magnet. An example foldable electronic device includes a base, a cover, a hinge pivotally connecting the base and the cover to fold the device into a closed position, a first magnet in the base, and a second magnet in the cover to repel the first magnet to separate the base and the cover when the device is resting in the closed position.
