An inexpensive collapsible umbrella which is made entirely from plastic and which has an integral cover or case formed from cylindrical segments affixed to the canopy frame with the canopy partially sandwiched therebetween has been disclosed. The canopy support frame is formed from a plurality of articulated canopy support arms, each having three ribs and a strut connected to one another through living hinges so that the arms can be folded with the ribs at least partially overlapping one another. The umbrella can be folded into a compact cylindrical shape for convenient storage and handling.
