Problems solved by technology

While this attachment links the bottle opener to a cell phone, there is no true integration, as the bottle opener is an attachment still remains a separate, and bulky, item.
While this design actually integrates the bottle opener within the battery door cover, it is structurally impractical, as the force required to open a sealed bottle will undoubtedly destroy the weak hinging/a

Abstract

An electronic device case is described. The case includes a shell portion being sized and shaped for at least partially encasing a portable electronic device, and a bottle opener positioned within at least a portion of the shell. The shell includes a length suitable for providing leverage when applying a force to remove a bottle cap from a bottle when the bottle opener engages the bottle cap.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to cases for portable electronic devices, and more particularly to cases including a mechanism for removing a bottle cap from a sealed bottle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]For many individuals who drink beverages contained in sealed bottles, and particularly those individuals whose tastes lead them primarily to beverage brands that exclusively use sealed bottles, they have found it is useful to continuously carry a bottle opener with them.[0003]To address this situation, bottle openers have been designed for hanging on key rings, or in other cases, they have been designed for holding in the pocket of clothing. In either case, the bottle opener remains a separate and stand-alone device, and consequently the individual must carry the additional item with them at all times.[0004]One solution to this dilemma would be to integrate the bottle opener into another item which the individual is already carrying around with them, suc...
