Abstract:

A carrying assembly for a tablet computer that protects the periphery of the tablet computer from impact, yet does not cover the face surface of the tablet computer. Accordingly, the tablet computer can be operated while still being bound within the carrier assembly. The carry assembly has a frame structure with four side elements, four corners and an open central region. The tablet computer is mounted to the frame structure so that the bottom of the tablet computer rests upon the side elements. At least two mounting connectors are provided, wherein one of the mounting connectors extends upwardly from each of the corners of the frame structure. The mounting connectors have locking fingers that receive and engage the corners of the tablet computer with a snap fit, therein mechanically attaching said frame structure to the tablet computer.
