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; and,

FIG. 14 is an exploded rear perspective view thereof.

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, in which the claimed design is embodied, consists of a transparent inner shell component and an opaque 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 broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of the case that form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

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