Abstract
According to various embodiments, a case for a portable electronic device includes first and second panels and a bottom wall defining an interior storage compartment in which an internal support is coupled to the two panels. The internal support is configured to provide convenient access to and/or impact protection for a portable electronic device enclosed therein. When the case is in an open position, the internal support may provide structure and support to allow convenient use of a portable electronic device without the need to remove it from the case. Whereas, when the case is in a closed position the internal support may cradle an enclosed portable electronic device and provide impact protection. Thus, the case may be used to support a portable electronic device in an upright position, or protect it from damage during transit.
