  • Patent number: 12166520
    Abstract: A case having the appearance of 3D design elements embedded therein. The case generally comprises a back panel which incorporates a plurality of layers with impressions or recesses formed thereon. When aligned, the impressions create an optical illusion as if actual objects are embedded in the back panel of the case where no actual object is present. And a method of producing an optical illusion of embedded design elements in a case including the steps of forming a first panel with at least one first impression formed on a first side of the first panel, applying a reflective coating to the at least one first impression, forming a second panel, and joining the second panel to the first side of the first panel.

  • Patent number: 12081687
    Abstract: A foldable case for foldable mobile electronic devices. The foldable case generally comprises a first shell and a second shell hingedly connected to a third shell. The foldable case is reconfigurable between a closed configuration, an open configuration, and intermediate configurations therebetween. The first, second and third shells comprise cooperative engagement features which allow the first and second shells to hinge or pivot relative to the third shell. The cooperative engagement features also constrain the first and second shells to the third shell and limit the first and second shells to pivotal movements in the open and closed configurations but allow lateral movements in the intermediate configurations.
