A protection cover for a portable terminal preferably includes a rear cover, on and from a surface of which the portable terminal is mountable and removable, and a front cover pivotally coupled to the rear cover to open or close access to the portable terminal mounted on the rear cover. Friction members may be provided on at least one of the rear cover and the front cover, respectively, in which the front cover is disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to the rear cover while facing another surface of the rear cover to support the friction members on a planar surface, thereby opening the portable terminal and cradling the portable terminal inclinedly with respect to the planar surface. The protection cover provides both a cradle and a cover in one device.

1. A protection cover for a portable terminal, comprising: a rear cover having an outer surface and having an inner surface adapted for the portable terminal being mounted thereon and removed therefrom;ribs extending from a first and second side edge of the rear cover for orienting the portable terminal on the rear cover;a front cover pivotally coupled to the rear cover to open or close access to the portable terminal when the portable terminal is mounted on inner surface of the rear cover, the front cover having an outer surface and a binding member, monolithically formed with and extending from an edge of the front cover, to engage the rear cover to bind the rear cover to the front cover when the front cover closes access to the portable terminal; andat least two friction members in an unaligned alternating arrangement on the front cover and on the rear cover, respectively of which at least a first friction member is provided on a portion of the rear cover and a second friction member provided on a portion of the front cover in which the first friction member and the second friction member are facing the same direction when the protection cover is closed, andwherein the at least two friction members are selected from the group consisting of silicon and rubber, and with a set spacing apart of the at least two friction members and a substantial frictional engagement of the set spaced apart at least two friction members with a planar surface sets and fixes an angle between the front cover and the rear cover while the outer surface of the front cover faces the outer surface of the rear cover;wherein the front cover and rear cover form a cradle when the front cover is disposed at the fixed-angle with respect to the rear cover while facing an outer surface of the rear cover to support placement of the front cover and the rear cover in the fixed-angle configuration on the planar surface, said fixed angle thereby opening access to the portable terminal and cradling the portable terminal inclinedly with respect to the planar surface. 2. The protection cover of claim 1, further comprising one or more retainers provided on the inner surface of the rear cover to bind the portable terminal to the rear cover. 3. The protection cover of claim 2, wherein the one or more retainers comprise one or more hooks. 4. The protection cover of claim 1, further comprising a connection member for pivotally coupling the front cover to the rear cover. 5. The protection cover of claim 4, wherein the connection member is comprised of a flexible material, a first side end portion being connected to a side edge of the rear cover and a second side end portion being connected to a side edge of the front cover, wherein the front cover is coupled to the rear cover to pivot via the connection member. 6. The protection cover of claim 1, wherein the friction members are provided on lower edges of the rear cover and the front cover, respectively, when the front cover and the rear cover form a cradle. 7. The protection cover of claim 1, further comprising a connection member made of a flexible material, a first side end portion of the connection member being connected to an edge of the rear cover and a second side end portion of the connection member being connected to an edge of the front cover, wherein the front cover is coupled to the rear cover to pivot through the connection member, and the friction members are provided on lower portions of the rear cover and the front cover, respectively, when the front cover and the rear cover form a cradle. 8. The protection cover of claim 1, further comprising: one or more retainers provided on the inner surface of the rear cover to bind the portable terminal to the rear cover; andwherein the friction members are provided on outer surfaces of the retainers and the binding member. 9. The protection cover of claim 4, further comprising an inner skin portion and an outer skin portion, wherein the inner skin portion and the outer skin portion are comprised of first portions for forming the rear cover, second portions for forming the front cover, and a third portion for forming the connection member, and the inner skin portion and the outer skin portion are coupled to each other while facing each other. 10. The protection cover of claim 9, wherein the inner skin portion and the outer skin portion are coupled to each other by being adhered or sewn to each other while facing each other. 11. The protection cover of claim 9, further comprising frames or boards interposed between the inner skin portion and the outer skin portion in the respective first and second portions for forming the rear cover and the front cover. 12. The protection cover of claim 11, further comprising one or more hooks provided on the inner surface of the rear cover to bind the portable terminal to the rear cover, wherein the hooks are formed integrally with the frames or boards. 13. The protection cover of claim 4, wherein the rear cover and the front cover further comprise frames or boards interposed therebetween, and wherein the connection member is a silicon member connecting the frames or boards to each other. 14. The protection cover of claim 13, further comprising an inner skin portion and an outer skin portion that covers the frames or boards. 15. The protection cover of claim 14, wherein at least one of the inner skin portion and outer skin portion is made of leather or a simulated leather. 16. The protection cover of claim 13, wherein the silicon member has two ends that partially cover both surfaces of the frames or boards. 17. The protection cover of claim 15, wherein the silicon member is fixed to the frames or boards by double injection or adhesion processing. 18.
