Abstract

Embodiments of the invention show a tablet cover that folds to provide a stand for the tablet. A friction hinge between two sections of the tablet cover provides sufficient friction to maintain the stand at the desired angle. In order to allow the cover to be easily flattened after use, a release mechanism is provided in the friction hinge.
