Abstract

A protection cover, according to various embodiments of the present invention, protects an electronic device and may comprise: a cover unit for covering the electronic device; and a suction unit, provided at the cover unit, for fixing the cover unit including the electronic device to the outside. The device as described above may be implemented in more varied ways according to the embodiments.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A protection cover that protects an electronic device, the protection cover comprising:
a front cover configured to be positioned on a front surface of the electronic device;
a back cover connected to the front cover and configured to be positioned on a back surface of the electronic device; and
a connection member that rotatably connects the front cover to the back cover, wherein
the protection cover comprises a suction portion provided on the front cover and on the connection member so as to retain the protection, which is provided with the electronic device, on a vertical surface,
wherein the front cover comprises an inner surface configured to face the front surface of the electronic device when the front cover is folded on the front surface of the electronic device,
wherein the suction portion comprises a first suction portion provided on the inner surface of the front cover and a second suction portion provided on the connection member,
wherein the first suction portion comprises a compression member including a rubber material and a nano suction gel material, and
wherein the second suction portion comprises a compression member including a nano suction gel material.

2. The protection cover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection member comprises two split surfaces, and the second suction portion is provided on a split surface adjacent to the front cover, among the split surfaces.

3. The protection cover as claimed in claim 2 , wherein, when the front cover rotates with regard to the back cover and faces the back cover, the first suction portion and the second suction portion form an identical surface and are retained on a vertical surface.

4. The protection cover as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first suction portion is configured to face a display portion of the electronic device such that the front cover retained on the display portion.

5. The protection cover as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first suction portion comprises:
a first suction plate, which has a curvature surface that is recessed inwards, and which forms an opening; and
a second suction plate, which is mounted in the opening, which has a curvature surface that is connected to the curvature surface of the first suction plate, and which is made of a heterogeneous material that has a relatively higher suction force compared with the first suction plate.

6. The protection cover as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second suction plate is provided to have a suction force that gradually increases from an end of the front cover towards the connection member.

7. A protection cover that protects an electronic device, the protection cover comprising:
a back housing configured to surround the electronic device and cover a back surface of the electronic device;
a surface cover rotatably provided on a surface of the back housing so as to expose the surface of the back housing according to a rotation; and
a suction portion provided on the surface of the back housing so as to retain the back housing, which is provided with the electronic device, on a vertical surface,
wherein the suction portion comprises a compression member including a nano suction gel material.

8. The protection cover as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the suction portion is provided throughout the entire surface of the back housing, at least one or more suction portions are provided on a partial surface of the surface of the back housing, or the suction portion is provided along a peripheral surface of the surface of the back housing.

9. The protection cover as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising an auxiliary suction portion on an inner surface of the surface cover.

10. The protection cover as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising:
a front cover configured to be positioned on a front surface of the electronic device.
