Abstract

In a protective sleeve for a touch control electronic device, the touch control electronic device has a touch screen and a signal receiving unit. The protective sleeve includes a body and a cover. The body has a first sensor and an accommodating portion for receiving the touch control electronic device. The cover is connected to one side of the body and turned over to cover the body. The cover has a film keyboard coupled to the signal receiving unit and a second sensor located to correspond to the first sensor. The first sensor and the second sensor sense with each other to turn off the film keypad when the cover covers the body. Thus, the protective sleeve of the present invention has an input function without occupying a display area of the touch control electronic device. Further, the present invention conforms to the requirements for compact design.

Claims
