Apparatus with rotating disc for electronic devices and the like

Abstract

It is one aspect of the present invention to provide a novel case apparatus designed for portable electronic devices and the like. In preferred embodiments, a strap is configured to secure the apparatus to the hand or other body part of a user while allowing the user rotate the electronic device and apparatus 360 degrees and slide the device back and forth in at least one direction. In preferred embodiments, the apparatus comprises: a bottom case configured to contact an electronic device; a top case wherein the top case comprises an access aperture; an engagement cavity located between and bounded by the top case and the bottom case; and a disc secured in the cavity and connected to a strap wherein the disc is configured to rotate and slide while being secured in the channel thereby providing a means for the apparatus to rotate 360 degrees.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a case for securing portable electronic devices, allowing them to be rotated and slid back and forth in a bi-directional manner using a strap. This case includes a bottom case, a top case, and a disc secured in an engagement cavity between the two cases. The disc rotates and slides while being secured, providing a means for the case to rotate 360 degrees. This design allows for easy and secure gripping of the electronic device, providing a secure and comfortable carrying experience.

Problems solved by technology

With technology advancing at great leaps and bounds, the internal components of these devices are decreasing in size thus making portable electronic devices very thin in design.

Unfortunately, if the user happens to drop the portable electronic device and the glass interface breaks or shatters, the user can expect to spend a significant amount of time and money to get the portable electronic device's screen replaced and in many cases the cost of repair may exceed the purchase price of a new device.

When the user releases the portable electronic device from the holster for operation, the case is now in the hands of the user where the chance of dropping the device increases.

However, small computers and other larger electronic devices are often too big for the holster, so the preferred method of carrying the device is under the arm or like a book.

This method of carrying tends to produce a greater chance of dropping the portable electronic device thus leading to probable breakage when the device hits the ground.

Rotation of the portable electronic device with the hands between horizontal positions and vertical positions will increase the probability the user will lose their grip on the portable electronic device and drop the device to the ground resulting in possible damage.
