Electronic device case
First Claim
1. An electronic device case for storing and protecting a portable electronic device including a tablet PC or e-book, wherein said case comprises:
- a) a device cover comprising a first section and a second section, wherein the first section has a front surface, a rear surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, a right edge and a left edge, wherein the second section has an upper surface, a lower surface, a right edge, a left edge, a front edge and a rear edge that interfaces with and is attached to the lower edge on the first section to create a living hinge for the two sections, wherein the portable electronic device is inserted into said case,b) a keyboard that is located within a keyboard cavity on the upper surface of the second section,c) a first pocket that is located on the upper surface of the second section, wherein the first pocket holds a USB cable for interfacing the keyboard to the electronic device,d) a second pocket that is located on the upper surface of the second section, wherein the second pocket holds a power cable for supplying power to the electronic device, ande) at least one photovoltaic cell that is located on the rear surface of the first section, wherein the photovoltaic cell absorbs solar power that is converted into a DC voltage for powering the electronic device.

Abstract
An electronic device case (10) for storing and protecting a portable electronic device (108). The case (10) has two design configurations. The first configuration comprises a device cover (12) with a first section (14) and a second section (30). The two sections (12,14) interface at a living hinge (46). The electronic device (108) is placed within the first section (14), which can be folded onto the second section (30) during travel or storage. The second configuration comprises a single, unitary device cover (70) into which the electronic device (108) is placed. Both configurations include a keyboard (110) that is located within a keyboard cavity (52 or 88), a first pocket (54 or 90) that holds a USB cable (112) for interfacing the keyboard to the electronic device, and a second pocket (56 or 92) that holds a power cable (114) for supplying power to the electronic device. Additionally, both configurations have at least one photovoltaic cell (60 or 98) that absorbs solar power which is then converted into a DC voltage for powering the electronic device (108).
