FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof;

Although the case for electronic communications device, in which the claimed design is embodied, consists of an inner shell component and an outer frame component, the claim is directed to the ornamental appearance of the case for electronic communications device in its entirety and does not extend to the ornamental appearance of each of the individual components of the case for electronic communications device.

The broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of case for electrons communications device that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines and regions bounded by broken lines form no part of the claimed design.
