1. An electronic device case comprising:
a first body;
a first connection part coupled to the first body;
a second body;
a second connection part coupled to the second body;
a hinge structure connected to the first connection part and the second connection part;
an accommodating space formed by the first body and the second body;
a first magnet disposed within the first connection part and configured to rotate together with the first connection part; and
a second magnet disposed within the second connection part and configured to rotate together with the second connection part;
wherein the electronic device case is transitioned, by movement of the second connection part with respect to the first connection part, to one of a first state in which the accommodating space is opened, a second state in which the accommodating space is closed, and a third state between the first state and the second state, and
wherein, in the third state, the first magnet and the second magnet are arranged such that a portion of the second magnet having a polarity faces a portion of the first magnet having the same polarity as the portion of the second magnet.
