When the cover is stored in a pocket or the like, it can be stored smoothly because there are no protrusions on the outer surface.

  In addition, the finger insertion portion is connected to the lid member so as to be raised and lowered. Thereby, if the lid member is turned upside down, the finger insertion part jumps out of the lid member, so that it is not necessary to attach the finger insertion part separately.

  According to the present invention, if the cover member of the cover that stores the electronic device is folded back, the finger insertion part pops out, so there is no risk of falling out of the hand holding the electronic device simply by inserting the finger into the protruding finger insertion part. . Further, when the finger insertion part is stored, if the lid member is closed, the finger insertion part is naturally stored in the cover.

Also, by attaching a hook-and-loop fastener to the back surface of the lid member of the electronic device cover and the connecting portion of the finger insertion portion, the attachment position of the finger insertion portion can be appropriately selected according to the size of the hand or finger. it can. In addition, if the finger insertion portion is formed in a shape that allows insertion of not only the first finger but also other fingers, the electronic device can be reliably held in a stable state.

Moreover, since the outer surface of the electronic device cover main body and the lid member can be made in a state having no protrusions by providing the finger insertion portion on the lid member itself of the electronic device cover or the back surface thereof, the electronic device is stored. The electronic device cover can be smoothly stored in a pocket or the like.
