Abstract
A protective case for use with a personal electronic device includes a backing shaped to securely attach to a back side of the device and an articulated cover configured to extend over a front side of the device. The backing includes end portions configured to secure opposite edges of the device, and a first coupling component spaced apart from the end portions of the backing. The cover includes a plurality of panels and a second coupling component releasably securable to the first coupling component. The cover is movable into a configuration in which the first and second coupling components are attached to one another and the plurality of panels form a support structure that supports the device at an angle relative to a horizontal support surface. The support structure is adjustable to change the angle without detaching the first and second coupling components from one another.
