Abstract
A protective case for a foldable electronic device having a first member configured for slidably receiving a first portion of the foldable electronic device. The first member has a first ball extending from the first member. The protective case also has a second member configured for slidably receiving a second portion of the foldable electronic device. The second member has a second ball extending from the second member. The protective case also includes sockets for receiving the ball members, wherein each of the balls rotates within a respective one of the sockets in multiple axes such that the hinge member pivots inward when the protective case is transitioned from the opened position to the closed position to prevent the foldable electronic device from sliding out of the protective case.
