Although personal computers (PCs) have become widespread, many people have a great desire for portable computers that can be used on the go. As a result, the demand for laptops is increasing, but the relatively large size and weight still make them somewhat inconvenient to carry.

Although smartphones with the same specifications as personal computers continue to be released in many areas, the size of the LCD is about 3 inches, and even if it is a large size, it is only 7 inches, so there is a limit to be called a personal computer.

In contrast, a tablet personal computer (PC) is positioned as an easy-to-carry computer in an intermediate position between a notebook computer and a smartphone.

A tablet PC uses a touch screen without a keyboard to operate a computer. Its size is smaller than a typical laptop, so it is easy to carry, and it has a larger liquid crystal than a smartphone, so users can use it conveniently.

Like mobile phones, tablet PCs are damaged when subjected to impact, so a separate case is required to protect them from external shocks. In particular, the liquid crystal provided on the front can be easily damaged even by small external shocks, so close attention is required.

On the other hand, when the tablet PC is placed on a desk and used for a long time, the user has to bow his head, which is quite inconvenient and causes fatigue. In addition, it is possible to use the tablet PC like a netbook by inputting more conveniently using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard.

As described above, various types of tablet PC cases or covers have emerged that allow the tablet PC to be mounted and a Bluetooth wireless keyboard to be used while protecting the tablet PC. When using only a PC and not using a Bluetooth wireless keyboard, there was a problem that the case or cover had to be removed.

In addition, in the case of the conventional keyboard-integrated tablet PC case or cover, since the tablet PC is inserted into the case or cover, there is a problem that the tablet PC cannot be protected at all when the tablet PC is removed.

In addition, when a conventional keyboard-integrated tablet PC case or cover is used as a cradle, a structure for supporting the tablet PC is provided on the upper plate, and an inclination adjustment structure is formed on the lower plate to which the keyboard is attached to adjust the mounting inclination. Therefore, there was a problem that the product is generally heavy and the unit price is high.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tablet PC cover that does not require removing the tablet PC cover even when using only the tablet PC without a Bluetooth wireless keyboard.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a tablet PC cover capable of protecting the tablet PC even when the tablet PC is removed.
