Benefits of technology

[0011]A primary object of the present invention is to reduce the damage come from a sudden and violate collision to the portable device.
[0012]Another object of the present invention is to provide a protective apparatus can provide a whole protection for the portable device accommodated therein without interfering the operation to the portable device.

Problems solved by technology

Some protective mediums prefer to mount a transparent membrane on an opening excavated in the cover for displaying the information displayed on the LCD (liquid crystal display), but such a configuration undermines a sturdiness of the protective medium.
However the present protective case has two disadvantages, first of all, the protective case lacks a shock-absorbing element.
Second of all, the user cannot touch the input keys directly when operating the portable device.
