1. A protective cover for protecting a touch key structure of a touch panel, the protective cover comprising:
- a cover; and
an adhesive layer formed on a surface of the cover, and configured to bond the cover on the touch panel;
wherein the cover comprises a top portion, two wing portions, and two connection portions;
the connection portions respectively extend from two opposite ends of the top portion and curve towards a same side of the top portion;
each wing portion extend from an end of one of the connection portions away from the top portion, and is parallel with the top portion;
the protective cover defines a plurality of gaps;
the gaps are spaced from each other in a specified distance;
the gaps are located at a joint between the top portion and the connection portion and at a joint between the connection portion and the wing portion;
the gap reduces a springback phenomenon of the connection portion after being curved.

Abstract
A protective cover for a touch panel comprises a cover and an adhesive layer formed on a surface of the cover. The protective cover is bulge-shaped, and defines a plurality of gaps. The gaps are regularly spaced from each other. The gaps are located at a joint between the top portion and the connection portion and at a joint between the connection portion and the wing portion. The gap reduces a springback phenomenon of the connection portion after being curved.

8. A touch panel comprising:
-
a touch key structure configured to provide a tactile feedback; and a protective cover located on the touch key structure, and configured to protect the touch key structure, the protective cover comprising; a cover; an adhesive layer formed on a surface of the cover, and configured to past the cover on the touch panel; and a protection layer formed on a surface of the adhesive layer away from the cover; wherein the cover comprises a top portion, two wing portions, and two connection portions;
the connection portions respectively extends from two opposite ends of the top portion, and curve towards a same side of the top portion;
each wing portion extends from an end of one of the connection portions away from the top portion, and is parallel with the top portion;
the protection layer is pasted on a surface of the adhesive layer away from the cover;
the protection layer covers the adhesive layer on the top region and on a part of each connection portion;
the wing portion are exposed from the protection;
the protection layer protects the adhesive layer in the top portion and in a part of each connection portion from being damaged during a curving fabricating process. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A fabricating method for forming a protective cover of a touch panel;
- the method comprising;
providing a substrate with a first region, two second regions adjacent to the first region, and two third regions adjacent to the second regions respectively; forming an adhesive layer on a surface of the substrate for covering the substrate in the first region, the second regions, and the third regions; forming a protection plate on the adhesive layer for covering the adhesive layer in the first region and a part of the adhesive layer in second regions; and curving a connecting portion between the first region and the second region and a connecting portion between the second region and the third region to form a protective cover in a bulge-shape. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
