Cellular phone case and storage accessory
A cellular phone case accessory device is disclosed. The case is attached to a cell phone and includes an upper section and a lower section sized to correspond with a cellular phone and to receive the phone in one of the sections. The upper section and lower section are attached by a hinge that enables pivotal movement of the upper and lower sections with respect to each other. Situated within the space defined between the upper and lower sections is a pocket or storage compartment where credit cards, cash, ID and other items may be stored safely. A mirror is also disposed between the upper and lower sections and usable when the upper and lower sections are pivotally disposed in an open position.
The present invention relates to the cellular phone accessory industry. This product is designed to act as a phone case, wallet, and miscellaneous card holder with mirror. It is a full-functioning hinged case with slotted compartment for currency, business cards, credit cards, driver's license and any other like items, with a concealed mirror.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe invention will be an everyday useful item relevant to the fashion/utility industry of the cell phone. Since most people carry a cell phone, it can act as a pocket and also allow people to minimize the bulkiness of a wallet.
Even though there are multiple cell phone accessories and cases, none specifically pinpoint the needs of a wallet and phone protection in one application.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention provides a protective covering of the cell phone along with an attached hinged compartment specifically designed to act as a wallet/ID holder. Its design function is to be non cumbersome and sleek for today's modern lifestyle and convenient storage of the cell phone when not needed.
