Abstract
A hand held electronic device () has a flip cover () movable between a latched closed position and an open position, the flip cover () being slidable in a closed position along a sliding axis between a latched position and an unlatched position whereby in the unlatched position the flip cover () is rotatable between a closed position and an open position about a rotational axis transverse to the sliding axis. The flip cover () is securable in a latched closed position and an unlatched open position by frictional engagement between gripping fingers at opposite ends of parallel tracks in which rollers attached to the flip cover hinge shaft are able to travel.
