Protective case for portable computer

US-7522410-B2

Abstract

A protective case for a portable or laptop computer is shown. The case is designed to allow use of the computer without the need to remove it from the case. The bottom wall of the case has an attachment mechanism for holding the computer securely in place while the case is open. Angled brackets in the bottom wall and extending upward into the side wall, define a hinge portion of the case. The upper wall of the case includes a display holder for slidably holding the computer display. The display holder holds the top wall of the case to the display while allowing relative motion between the two. A rear access opening in the rear side wall panel allows access to connectors and ports at the rear of the computer so that they can be used while the computer remains in the case. A flap may be coupled to rear access opening, to allow the opening to be securely covered when not in use. A rear vent, covered with a mesh material, may also be incorporated into the rear panel to facilitate air circulation. Preferably, the bottom wall includes a hand strap and an antiskid pad, and the top wall includes an accessories pocket.
