Reference numeral 217 denotes an anti-slip portion, reference numeral 219 denotes a pocket portion, which will be described together in the following description of FIG. 2.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the rear cover part 230 has a pivoting guide groove formed on an inner surface of the mobile terminal accommodating side and an outer surface of the opposite surface of the inner surface, respectively, so that the folding portion can be folded. 233 is divided into a rear cover part upper part 231 and a rear cover part lower part 235, and a rear support part one side 133 is coupled to the rear cover part upper part 231, and centers the fold part 233. The rear cover part lower part 235 is pivotally spaced apart from the rear surface of the other side of the rear support part 137. At this time, the front cover part 210 is rotated with the side cover part 250 as the rotation shaft, so that the other end of the rear support part 137 spaced apart, that is, the other end of the front cover part side of the rear support part 130 is the front cover part ( By making it meet with the inner surface of the 210, it is possible to easily mount the portable terminal 2, it is possible to change the mounting angle of the portable terminal 2 according to the user's convenience. As a result, the user can provide a more comfortable viewing or viewing environment. When the portable terminal 2 is accommodated in the receiving part, the force is applied in the vertical direction to the inner side of the front cover part where the other end of the rear support part 130 meets by the weight of the mobile terminal itself, so that the other end of the rear support part is the front cover part. It is easily supported on the inner side.

The rear cover part upper part 231 means the outer side based on the side cover part 250 of the rear cover part 230, and the lower rear cover part 235 means the inner side, and is usually outside when the mobile terminal is mounted. It becomes this upper part, and an inner side becomes a lower part.

In addition, the inner surface of the front cover portion 210 may be formed with an anti-slip portion 217, so that the other end of the rear support portion 137 may be better supported by the inner surface of the front cover portion. The non-slip part 217 is not limited to this as long as it is a material having frictional force with natural or artificial resin, but is formed of synthetic resin such as natural or artificial leather, silicone resin, etc., so that the other side 137 of the rear support part slips. Prevent and increase bearing capacity. When the non-slip portion 217 is formed on the inner side of the front cover portion 210 becomes part of the front cover portion 210, the outer surface of the non-slip portion 217 is the inner surface of the front cover portion 210 Becomes

The non-slip portion 217 is formed by a method such as sewn only the end portion so as to create a space (not shown) between the front cover portion 210, and a pocket made of an incision or the like for storing a card or the like. The portion 219 may be formed. The pocket part 219 can store portable items in addition to the portable terminal.

The rear cover part 230 and the front cover part 210 may be fastened to each other by the locking part 300. The locking part 300 may be formed of a snap button, a Velcro tape, a magnet button, and the like, and, for example, the rear cover part 230 and the front cover may be fitted with a male button 310 and a female button (not shown). By binding the unit 210, the front of the portable terminal can also be protected from external impact when carrying the portable terminal.
