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 in isolation;

FIG. 10 is a rear perspective view showing the inner shell component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 11 is a front perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case in isolation;

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

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

FIG. 15 is an enlarged detail view of the corresponding encircled region in FIG. 2; the surface characteristics of the side button shown in this view are representative of the surface characteristics of the button on the opposite side of the case; and,

FIG. 16 is an enlarged detail view of the corresponding region in FIG. 2.

For clarity of disclosure, the components of the case are shown in isolation in FIGS. 9-12 and separated in FIGS. 13-14. 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 overall 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.

The dot-dash broken line circles in FIGS. 2 and 15-16 delineate portions of the case for electronic communications device that are part of the claimed design and that are shown on an enlarged scale in FIGS. 15-16. 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 broken lines, regions bounded by dashed broken lines, and the interior of the case (except for the interior edges of the rear openings shown in solid lines) shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 9, and 13 form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

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