Benefits of technology

[0004]To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention mainly aims to provide a protective casing for portable handheld devices with improved protective characteristics, durability, convenience of use, and functionalities without compromising aesthetics.

Problems solved by technology

Such protective casings may protect the electronic devices from physical abuse or risks of damages.
However, the conventional protective casings increase significant overall bulk and weight, and could deteriorate or damage the delicate finish of the electronic devices.
The existing protective casings also do not balance between the protection, functionalities and aesthetics.
However, such casing is not aesthetically appealing.
Aesthetically appealing casings typically offer less protection.
Further, modern handheld devices require user interactions with the devices via various interfaces (e.g., screens, buttons, sockets, etc.), the access to which could be hindered by the structure of the existing protective casings.

Abstract

The protective casing for portable handheld electronic devices comprises an inner casing snugly covering a back and edges of the electronic device, and an outer frame placed around the edges of the electronic device for tightly pressing part of the inner casing against the edges of the electronic device. The resultant protective casing is of improved protective characteristics, durability, convenience of use, and functionalities without compromising aesthetics.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a protective casing for portable handheld electronic devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]To protect portable handheld electronic devices, such as the Apple iPhone, personal digital assistant (PDA), digital media players, digital recorders, potable TV, handheld computers, etc., protective casings have been proposed. Such protective casings may protect the electronic devices from physical abuse or risks of damages. However, the conventional protective casings increase significant overall bulk and weight, and could deteriorate or damage the delicate finish of the electronic devices. The existing protective casings also do not balance between the protection, functionalities and aesthetics. For example, there exists an all-silicon soft casing that wraps the entire device housing except the screen. However, such casing is not aesthetically appealing. Aesthetically appealing casings typically offer less protection....
