  • Patent number: 10842238
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electronic device encasement which not only encases and protects the electronic device, it allows for storage and presentation of one or more data cards. As the encasement device operator initiates access to the stored data card by opening a protective storage cover, the accessing action initiates a subsequent mechanical response which presents the card by a separating action from the encasement and the other possible stored items, as to allow for easier access and use of the one or more data cards. The storage and presentment mechanisms include a plurality of pockets, grips, and other structures to secure and present the cards.
