Abstract
A novel folding design for a mobile station is disclosed that provides a stylish design, a simplified assembly, and relatively few parts. The improved foldable mobile station comprises a flexible front cover, multiple functional units coupled together by a folding hinge and a tension unit. The tension unit provides a compressive force to the pivotally attached functional units thereby biasing the foldable mobile station between open and folded positions.
