Benefits of technology

The patent describes a protective case for a mobile device that has corner and non-corner sidewall enclosures to protect the device from dropping damage. The case can be customized to fit different parts of the device and provide a snug fit or extra protection. The technical effect of this invention is to offer a reliable and flexible way to protect mobile devices from damage, particularly at vulnerable corners.

Problems solved by technology

As mobile devices have evolved to offer advanced features, the replacement cost for damaged devices has grown.
Unfortunately, if a mobile device hits a hard surface, it may damage it.
It may be a dent or scratch, but sometimes the damage may require purchasing a new mobile device.
If we are talking about a cell phone, the user may pay dearly, because the warranty may have expired or simply not cover the damage and carrier contracts for reduced prices may not be available.
Such an approach may protect the cell phone from shocks, dents and scratches but something is lost—the beauty of the cell phone design.
