Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a case for protecting and storing an electronics device. The case is made of flexible fabric material and has a front, back, sides, top, and an opening along the bottom. The case can be customized for a specific electronics device and has a strip of fabric that can be seamed into the sides and back of the case. The case can be opened and closed to envelope and tightly fit the contours of the electronics device. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a protective and customizable case for electronics devices."

Problems solved by technology

Electronics devices, particularly in this day and age, are often designed to be transportable, and easy to use “on the go.” Unfortunately, many such electronics devices are susceptible to damage from such movement and even storage.
Many devices include a robust outer shell, however, many aspects are not encased in the outer shell.
Aspects such as view screens, lenses, key pads and the like are susceptible to scratches, breakage, etc., as they generally cannot be encased in a robust outer shell due to functionality and size concerns.
Additionally, the robust outer shells, themselves, are susceptible to scratches and other deformations, which can potentially harm the inner workings of the electronics device, or at the very least damage the aesthetic nature of the robust outer shell.
While adequately protecting the electronic device, the added bulk reduces the mobility of the electronics device.

Abstract

A case for protecting and storing a preselected electronics device includes a flexible fabric material body and a strip of fabric extending from a portion of the body. The strip of fabric has an open and an inverted closed position. The body and strip of fabric in the closed position are together configured to envelope and tightly fit contours of the preselected electronics device.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 054,254, filed on Mar. 24, 2008, which claims priority to U.S. Design patent application No. Ser. 29 / 268,088, filed on Oct. 24, 2006, each of which are incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Electronics devices, particularly in this day and age, are often designed to be transportable, and easy to use “on the go.” Unfortunately, many such electronics devices are susceptible to damage from such movement and even storage.
