Problems solved by technology

These cases typically do not extend substantially around the four side portions of the computer and therefore provide minimal protection
Also, these elastic loops won't be particularly strong as the elastic loops will fail or stretch over time

Embodiment Construction

[0020] Embodiments of the invention are shown as Figure 1 to Figure 4 The housing 100. The housing 100 includes a back panel 1 having four side panels 2 extending generally perpendicularly from the back panel 1 . The back panel 1 and the four side walls 2 define a cavity 4 for receiving a portable electronic device 200 .

[0021] The inner wall of at least one of the side panels 2 is provided with a plurality of inwardly extending protrusions 6 . The protrusion 6 is inclined toward the central axis X of the housing 100 . In particular, the protrusions may be at an angle of substantially 60° to the inner wall of the side panel 2 from which said protrusions extend. The protrusion 6 is flexible and deflectable towards the inner wall of the side panel 2 from which it extends. In alternative embodiments, the protrusion 6 may be inclined away from the central axis X of the housing, or may be parallel to the central axis.

[0022] Each protrusion 6 has a contact portion at its ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a case for a portable electronic device. A case for holding portable electronic devices of variable sizes. The case extends around five sides of the device. The case comprising a back panel (1) and four side panels (2) extending away from the back panel. At least one of the side panels comprises a plurality of flexible protrusions (6) extending inwardly at an angle other than 90 DEG from the at least one side panel, the protrusions (6) being capable of deforming inwardly by at least 0.5 mm. The side panels (2) comprise an inwardly facing flexible lip (8) formed at theend of the side panels (2) away from the back panel, the lip being angled towards the back panel (5) of the case.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a case for a portable electronic device with a screen. The portable electronic device may be a smartphone, e-reader, tablet, satellite navigation system, or the like. Background technique [0002] It is known to provide cases for portable electronic devices to provide additional shock and / or scratch protection for the portable electronic device. Typically, these cases are shaped to securely fit a particular single model of portable electronic device. [0003] Cases adapted to accommodate various models of portable electronic devices typically include a back panel with elastic loops configured to hold the portable electronic device. These cases generally do not extend substantially around the four side portions of the computer and therefore provide minimal protection. Plus, these elastic loops won't be particularly strong because the elastic loops will fail or stretch over time. Contents of the invention [0004] The prese...
