Embodiment Construction

[0022]Hand held electronic devices such as cell phones, for which skin cases are customized, generally have length dimensions of about 4.2 to about 4.8″ by a width of 2.3 to about 2.8″ (dimensions of currently common multi-use cell phones) in order to provide an acceptable size for a viewing screen and finger controls while remaining of a sufficiently small enough bulk suitable for being carried in a jacket or shirt pocket or in a small purse. The thickness, depending on the nature of the devices and particular manufacturer, is generally between about 0.5 to 1.0″. The case is configured to snugly peripherally enclose the housing of the electronic device but not to cover a screen / and or keyboard of the device and to have a decorative and / or protective wall of the case which covers the back or obverse side of the hand held device relative to the viewing screen and / or keyboard with the aforementioned width and length dimensions. The devices for use in the present invention must accordi...

Abstract

A method (and device so formed) for adapting a skin type decorative and protective case customized for fitting a hand held electronic device having a viewing screen and/or keyboard and configured for remaining on the device during use of the device. The method comprises the steps of forming the skin with a slot for insertion of thin items such as credit cards and money into a pocket either between walls of the case or between a wall of the case and an electronic device inserted in the skin case. The pockets are provided with elements to minimize any change of appearance of the original profile and elements for assisting in removing the items from the snug pocket element. The pockets further include elements for maintaining the integrity thereof relative to the remainder of the casing. The pocket may alternatively be directly integrated as part of the device housing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to decorative or protective “skins” (close fitting cases or casings) customized for and used with hand held electronic devices such as cell phones, PDAs and mp3 players while the devices are in use, and particularly relates to functional modifications thereof for use as holding or carrying receptacles for other items.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There is a growing trend toward minimization and integration, with the constant need to reduce the size and number of items people find necessary to carry with them. Items currently deemed to be necessities include cell phones such as the iPhone®, Treo® and Blackberry® (trademarks for specific brand cell phones); mp3 players such as the iPod®; wallets containing money, credit cards (and ATM cards), ID materials such as driver's licenses and car registrations; and to a lesser extent, handheld computers known as PDAs, digital cameras, etc.[0003]At the top of the necessity list, cell phones...
