  • Publication number: 20170188675
    Abstract: There is provided a case (1) for a device (22) comprising a sleeve portion (4) having a sleeve opening (17), a closure portion (6), and a hinge (8) connecting the closure portion (6) to the sleeve portion (4) adjacent the sleeve opening (17). The hinge (8) is adapted to allow the closure portion (6) to move from a first position away from the sleeve opening to allow the device (22) to be inserted into the sleeve portion (4) and a second position where the closure portion (6) is positionable over an end of the device (22). Movement of the hinge (8) from the first position to the second position causes the closure portion (6) to pass over an end of the device (22) to form an over-center engagement with the end of the device (22).

  • Patent number: 9496910
    Abstract: An adjustable case for a mobile electronic device. The case has a bottom including a main chassis, a fixed holding member fixedly connected with the main chassis, a sliding holding member slidedly connected to the main chassis to slide back and forth, and a tension mechanism biasing the sliding holding member towards the fixed holding member so that the fixed holding member and the sliding holding member squeeze the mobile electronic device when fitted in the case. A plurality of friction members is fixed to a mobile-device-facing surface of the case bottom so that the friction members contact a bottom of the mobile electronic device when the mobile electronic device is fitted in the case. A plurality of raised corner sidewalls is also provided, each sidewall arranged at a corner of the main chassis to extend in a mobile-device-facing direction from the mobile-device-facing surface of the bottom of the case.

  • Patent number: 9451816
    Abstract: A one-piece co-formed exterior hard shell case with an elastomeric liner formed on the interior of the exterior hard shell for mobile electronic devices. This hard protective exterior shell allows the device maximum protection from impacts with sharp objects while the interior elastomeric portion that provides shock protection for the device from impacts. The exterior hard shell part is formed to fit the device closely with a small offset from the devices surface. The exterior hard shell raps around the edges of the device. To allow the shell to be able to be mounted on the device the corners of the hard shell are cut open. This allows each sidewall to flex away when a device is inserted and snap back once it is in place. The elastomeric material fills in the gaps created at the corners of the exterior hard shell to allow flex for mounting.
