Abstract
A clipboard system comprising a clipboard that cooperates with a case of a portable computing device (e.g., a tablet computer) such that the case attaches to the clipboard to enable interchangeable usage of the portable computing device and the clipboard. The case enables the portable computing device to be enclosed and supported, and utilized while coupled with the clipboard. The case receives the computing device and secures the device therein, while exposing the device display and the device controls for user interaction. The case comprises a backside having affixed thereto an attachment material such as one part of a two-part fastener that securely interfaces to the other part of the fastener material affixed to the clipboard. The attachment material is of sufficient strength to hold the case and enclosed computing device to the clipboard during normal usage.
