Abstract

An exterior cover for attachment to the exterior surface of a hinged computing device's base may modify the size, position, and/or footprint of one or more extensions, or feet, projecting from the bottom of the base. The modification may serve to increase the stability of the hinged computing device when the hinged computing device is in an open position (i.e., when the display element is separated from the base).
