Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a case for electronic communications device showing my new design;

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;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 9 is a front perspective view showing the inner shell component of the case separately for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 10 is a rear perspective view showing the inner shell component of the case separately for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 11 is a front perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case separately for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case separately for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 13 is an exploded front perspective view showing the components of the case separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 14 is an exploded rear perspective view showing the components of the case separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 15 is an enlarged detail view of the encircled portion of the design from FIG. 2; and,

FIG. 16 is an enlarged detail view of the encircled portion of the design from FIG. 4.

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 dot-dash broken lines in FIGS. 2, 4, 15 and 16, encircle the portions of the claimed design that are shown on an enlarged scale in FIGS. 15 and 16. The dashed broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of the case for electronic communications device that form no part of the claimed design. The interior of the case shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 9 and 13 forms no part of the claimed design. The dashed broken lines and regions bounded by dashed broken lines form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

The ornamental design for a case for electronic communications device, as shown and described.
