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 transparent inner shell component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 10 is a rear perspective view thereof;

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

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view thereof;

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

FIG. 14 is an exploded rear perspective view thereof; and,

FIG. 15 is an enlarged detail view of the encircled portion of FIG. 4 to more clearly disclose the appearance of the glitter pattern on the outer frame of the case.

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 a transparent inner shell component and a glitter patterned 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 stippling in the drawing figures depict the appearance of the glitter pattern on the outer frame of the case.

The dot-dash broken line in FIGS. 4 and 15 delineates a portion of the case for electronic communications device that is part of the claimed design and that is shown on an enlarged scale in FIG. 15. 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 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.
