1. A protective case for an electronic device, the protective case comprising: a first cover portion hingedly interconnected to a second cover portion by a support member, the support member comprising a substantially rigid portion, a first hinge interconnected to said first cover portion, and a second hinge interconnected to said second cover portion;said first cover portion comprising a first side and a second side, said first panel side comprising a device-receiving portion and said second side opposing said first side, a substantially rigid portion extending from said first cover portion, and at least one biasing member in force-transmitting communication with said first cover portion for providing a biasing force toward said substantially rigid portion;the support member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end hingedly secured to said second cover portion at a periphery of the second cover portion, and the second end hingedly secured to said first cover portion proximal to a mid-point of a width of the second side;said second cover portion comprising a plurality of receiving portions, wherein each of said receiving portions corresponds to a predetermined display angle for said first cover portion; andwherein said protective case provides for selective positioning of said first cover portion between at least: (i) a closed position, wherein the first side is provided adjacent to said second cover portion; (ii) a first open position, wherein said first side is rotated approximately 180 degrees about a longitudinal axis from said closed position; and (iii) a second open position, wherein said first cover portion is provided at an angle with respect to said second cover portion; andthe second cover portion comprising a planar portion and a peripheral edge portion comprising a lip extending from said planar portion of said second cover portion for receiving the first cover portion in the closed position and the first open position; andan elastic securing member for securing the protective case in at least the closed position. 2. The protective case of claim 1, wherein said receiving portions comprise channels in said second cover portion. 3. The protective case of claim 1, wherein said receiving portions comprise projections in said second cover portion. 4. The protective case of claim 1, wherein the substantially rigid portion comprises at least one of a clip, a hook, a loop, a projection, and a post. 5. The protective case of claim 1, wherein said lip extends along the substantial entirety of a perimeter edge of the second cover portion. 6. A protective case for an electronic device, the protective case comprising: a first cover portion hingedly interconnected to a second cover portion;said first cover portion comprising a first side and a second side, said first side comprising a device-receiving portion and said second side opposing said first side;a substantially rigid portion extending from said first cover portion, and at least one biasing member in force-transmitting communication with said first cover portion for providing a biasing force toward said substantially rigid portion;a support member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end hingedly secured to said second cover portion at a periphery of the second cover portion, and the second end hingedly secured to said first cover portion proximal to a mid-point of a width of the second side;wherein said protective case provides for selective positioning of said first cover with respect to said second cover portion, said first cover portion positionable between at least: (i) a closed position, wherein the first side is provided adjacent to said second cover portion; (ii) a first open position, wherein said first side is rotated approximately 180 degrees about a longitudinal axis from said closed position; and (iii) a second open position, wherein said first cover portion is provided at an angle between approximately 15 degrees and approximately 90 degrees with respect to said second cover portion; andthe second cover portion comprising a planar portion adapted for covering and protecting a planar portion of the device, and a lip extending from said planar portion of said second cover portion along the substantially entirety of a perimeter edge of the second cover portion for receiving the first cover portion in at least one of the closed position and the first open position; andwherein the support member is provided between the first cover portion and the second cover portion when the protective case is provided in said closed position and wherein said first cover portion is provided within a volume defined by said second cover portion and said lip. 7. The protective case of claim 6, wherein said receiving portions comprise channels in said second cover portion. 8. The protective case of claim 6, wherein said receiving portions comprise projections on said second cover portion. 9. The protective case of claim 6, wherein said at least one biasing member comprises a resilient loop adapted to engage a corner of an electronic device. 10. A protective case comprising: a first cover portion having a first side and a second side, said first side comprising means for retaining an electronic device;a second cover portion sized to receive said first cover portion in at least a first position and a second position;said first position comprising a closed position, wherein said means for retaining an electronic device are provided adjacent to said second cover portion;said second position characterized in that said means for retaining an electronic device are rotated approximately 180 degrees about a longitudinal axis from said first position; andthe second cover portion comprising a planar portion and a lip extending from said planar portion of said second cover portion for receiving the first cover portion in the first position and the second position; andwherein said first cover portion is provided within a volume defined by said second cover portion and said lip when said first cover portion is provided in said second position and wherein said first side of said first cover portion, said second side of said second cover portion, and said planar portion of said second cover portion are provided substantially parallel when said protective case is provided in said second position. 11. The protective case of claim 10, further comprising a support member having a first end and a second end, the first end hingedly secured to said second cover portion at a periphery of the second cover portion, and the second end hingedly secured to said first cover portion proximal to a mid-point of a width of the first cover portion. 12. The protective case of claim 10, wherein said means for retaining an electronic device comprise at least one elastic member. 13. The protective case of claim 10, wherein said second cover portion comprises a plurality of channels for receiving an edge of said first cover portion and providing said first cover portion at an acute angle with respect to the second cover portion. 14. The protective case of claim 10, wherein said means for retaining an electronic device comprise a substantially rigid support member and at least one biasing member in force-transmitting communication with said first cover portion. 15. The protective case of claim 10, wherein said lip extends along the substantial entirety of a perimeter edge of the second cover portion.
