1. A transportable electronic device, comprising:
- a cylindrical main unit that is divided into two or more areas along a circumferential direction, the cylindrical main unit having a circuit board therein; and
a tubular cover that houses at least a part of the main unit and protects a circumferential surface of the main unit by covering the circumferential surface of the main unit, the tubular cover having an opening formed in its circumferential surface for exposing one or more of said areas to the outside,wherein the tubular cover is rotatable relative to the main unit so that an area to be covered and protected by the tubular cover can be switched, andwherein the main unit at least has;
a protection area including a protection target element that is electrically connected to the circuit board; and
a blank area in which no protection target element is arranged, which can be exposed to the outside via the opening when the transportable electronic device is carried around, and which has a larger width in a circumferential direction than the opening,wherein the blank area and the protection area are aligned in the circumferential direction.

Abstract
There is provided a transportable electronic device in which a configuration related to a protective cover can be simplified. A transportable digital photo frame includes a cylindrical main unit that is divided into four areas along the circumferential direction, and a tubular cover that houses at least a part of the main unit to protect the circumferential surface of the main unit, the tubular cover having an opening formed in its circumferential surface for exposing one area to the outside. The tubular cover is rotatable relative to the main unit so that the areas protected by the tubular cover can be switched.
