A corner protector comprising a guard, strap, and plate or rod are disclosed. The first portion and second portion of the guard are substantially orthogonal to the top portion, and to each other. The first portion and second portion meet to define a corner protrusion. The guard has interior extending ribs that are substantially vertical and maintain contact with the guard. The strap has at least one connection member on each end to allow the corner protector to be adjusted vertically. The plate or rod has at least one locking member for creating a locking mechanism with the connection member.

1. A corner protector for protecting a corner of a household or commercial object from comprising: a guard having a top portion, a first side portion and a second side portion, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are substantially orthogonal to the top portion and to each other for defining a corner shape for placement over the corner of the object;a plate for positioning parallel to and spaced from the top portion of the guard so that the object is between the plate and the guard;a single flexible strap extending from the guard and having two ends, the flexible strap being resilient and having at least one connection member on each end; andthe plate having at least one locking member for creating a locking mechanism with the at least one connection member, wherein the strap or the plate has multiple points of connection between the at least one locking member and the at least one connection member such that the strap can be repeatedly connected at multiple positions such that the spacing between the plate and the top portion can be adjusted to have multiple spacings, thereby allowing the corner protector to be vertically adjustable. 2. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the strap and guard are made of a substantially flexible material. 3. The corner protector of claim 2, wherein the strap is made from a polymer, elastomer, or rubber. 4. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the strap is not formed monolithically with the guard, wherein a top face of the top portion of the guard has a recess in which the strap sits such that a top surface of the strap is substantially flush with the top face the top portion. 5. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the first and second side portions meet to define a corner protrusion that slopes vertically. 6. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the first and second side portions meet to define a corner protrusion that is substantially semi-circle shaped. 7. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the guard has inwardly extending ribs that are substantially flexible, such that the ribs absorb and redistribute force applied to the exterior surfaces of the guard. 8. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the strap has at least four of the at least one connection members. 9. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the plate has at least two of the at least one locking members. 10. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the strap is not monolithically formed with the guard. 11. The corner protector of claim 1, wherein the strap is formed monolithically with and extends from the guard. 12. A corner protector for protecting a corner of a household or commercial object from comprising: a guard having a top portion, first side portion and a second side portion, wherein the first and second side portions are substantially orthogonal to the top portion and to each other for defining a corner shape for mounting over the corner of the object;a resilient strap in contact with the guard and extending from the guard around a portion of the object to be protected; andmeans for adjustably securing the strap such that the corner protector can be clamped about various thicknesses of the object whose corner is being protected, and thereafter unclamped and re-clamped to provide a different spacing between the guard and the plate, wherein the means for adjustably securing includes a rod with balls and wherein the strap has openings, the openings and balls being sized so that the balls can be pressed through the openings to hold the strap in place. 13. A corner protector for protecting a corner of a household or commercial object from comprising: a guard having a top portion, first side portion and a second side portion, wherein the first and second side portions are substantially orthogonal to the top portion and to each other for defining a corner shape for mounting over the corner of the object;a resilient strap in contact with the guard and extending from the guard around a portion of the object to be protected; andmeans for adjustably securing the strap such that the corner protector can be clamped about various thicknesses of the object whose corner is being protected, and thereafter unclamped and re-clamped to provide a different spacing between the guard and the plate,wherein the means for adjustably securing includes a rod with balls and wherein the strap has openings, the openings and balls being sized so that the balls can be pressed through the openings to hold the strap in place, andwherein a top face of the top portion of the guard has a recess in which the strap sits such that a top surface of the strap is substantially flush with the top face the top portion. 14. A corner protector for protecting a corner of a household or commercial object from comprising: a guard having a top portion, a first side portion and a second side portion, wherein the first side portion and the second side portion are substantially orthogonal to the top portion and to each other for defining a corner shape for placement over the corner of the object;a plate for positioning parallel to and spaced from the top portion of the guard so that the object is between the plate and the guard;a strap extending from the guard and having two ends, with at least one connection member on each end; andthe plate having at least one locking member for creating a locking mechanism with the connection member, wherein the strap or the plate has multiple points of connection between the at least one locking mechanism and the at least one connection member such that the strap can be connected at multiple positions such that the spacing between the plate and the first top portion can be adjusted to have multiple spacings, thereby allowing the corner protector to be vertically adjustable, wherein the strap is a single strap not formed monolithically with the guard, wherein a top face of the top portion of the guard has a recess in which the strap sits such that a top surface of the strap is substantially flush with the top face the top portion.
