Patent attributes
A protective case for a foldable electronic device. The protective case includes a first member, a second member, and a hinge member. The first and second members each have a ball extending from an edge. The hinge member has a first socket and a second socket in which the first ball and the second ball, respectively, are captured and rotate thereby permitting the first member to articulate relative to the second member such that the foldable electronic device electronic remains articulable between the closed positions and the opened position when the protective case is installed on the foldable electronic device. The hinge member is configured to pivot inward when the protective case is transitioned from the opened position to the closed position to prevent the foldable electronic device from sliding out of the protective case.
