A protector for portable electronic devices is disclosed, including a portfolio-style protective cover having device-capturing lugs attached to stretchable legs of an X-shaped frame capable of accommodating a wide variety of sizes. 1. A protector for generally rectangular electronic devices comprising:(a) an expandable four-legged frame secured to a generally planar rectangular backing having four corners;(b) the four legs of said frame being elastic and oriented in a generally X-shaped configuration relative to each other; and(c) resilient corner-engaging arcuate lugs integral with each of said four legs.2. The protector of wherein said frame is X-shaped with said legs intersecting each other and is secured to said backing at the intersection of said legs.3. The protector of wherein said frame is X-shaped with said legs having discontinuities.4. The protector of wherein said legs are stretchable longitudinally outwardly toward said four corners.5. The protector of wherein said frame is overlaid with a soft material attached to said backing.6. The protector of wherein said overlaid soft material is generally rectangular and has cutouts in its four corners to expose said lugs.76. The protector of any of - incorporated into a foldable portfolio cover. The development of devices incorporating electronic devices has been explosive over the past decade, resulting in many new genres of battery-powered products such as so-called “smart phones,” electronic readers, and, more recently, the Apple iPad® and Kindle Fire® tablet computers. All such devices are relatively lightweight and portable, owing to the miniaturization of electronic components and circuitry. One shortcoming of such small scale is that the circuitry is relatively fragile and so subject to damage by, for example, impact with a hard surface caused by dropping and/or exposure to moisture. There is therefore a need in the art for protection of such devices from such damage. This need is met by the present ...
