Abstract:
Techniques including use of a hinged cover for a computing device are described. In one or more implementation, a system includes a computing device having a slate form factor and an input device. The input device has a cover configured to assume a closed configuration in which first and second cover portions of the cover at least partially cover a display device of the computing device and an open configuration in which the display device and input functionality usable to initiate one or more operations of the computing device are exposed. The input device also has a hinge mechanism configured such that when the cover is in the open configuration the first and second members form a support structure, at a rear of the computing device that opposes a side of the computing device having the display device.
