Abstract
Abstract A magnetic covered folio case is formed of a pair of magnetizable sheet members forming the covers with oppositely polarized areas on these cover members, so that they will be attracted one to the other when in facing proximity. Arranged between the cover members are a plurality of hingedly attached folio sheets in an accordian folded configuration, with each end folio sheet secured to a cover. Separating the cover members extends the accordian folded folio sheets, exposing the faces of the folio sheets, which may be formed to accommodate writing. There may be secured to the faces of the accordian folded folio sheets one or more pocket forming members to retain articles on said sheets. Sheet and cover member shape may be rectangular, triangular, circular, or of a variety of polygonal shapes. A flap of magnetizable sheet material is hingedly secured to the edge of one cover member to overlie at least a part of the other cover member, and decorative or identifying magnetic sheet elements are provided for selective securement to one or the other of the cover members to appropriately decorate or mark same. A key ring attachment may if desired be attached to one of the covers, and/or a scale rule may be formed on the folio sheets.
