Benefits of technology

[0014]Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a waterproof case for an electronic device, which allows a user to easily put and separate the electronic device into / from the waterproof case by using elasticity of the waterproof case, and which prevent damage.
[0015]Further, another aspect of the present invention is to provide a waterproof case for an electronic device, which includes a double locking unit having a function of double locking the waterproof case, thereby preventing the waterproof case from easily being opened and closed due to external impact and being separated from the electronic device.
[0016]Furthermore, still another aspect of the present invention is to provide a waterproof case for an electronic device, which has a fingerprint recognizing cover opposite to a fingerprint recognition unit provided in the electronic device and having a thinner thickness than that of a window, thereby improving a fingerprint recognition function of the fingerprint recognition unit as well as improving a waterproof function in a fingerprint recognition region of the electronic device.
[0017]Moreover, still another aspect of the present invention is to provide a waterproof case for an electronic device, in which a fingerprint recognizing cover opposite to a fingerprint recognition unit provided in the electronic device is integrally provided on a window, and a film member is attached to an upper surface of the window and makes the window have a thicker thickness than that of the fingerprint recognition cover, thereby improving a fingerprint recognition function of the fingerprint recognition unit as well as a waterproof function in a fingerprint recognition region of the electronic device, and in which the number of parts is reduced because the fingerprint recognizing cover is integrally formed at the window, thereby simplifying an assembling process.
[0018]In addition, still another aspect of the present invention is to provide a waterproof case for an electronic device, in which a fingerprint recognizing cover opposite to a fingerprint recognition unit provided in the electronic device is integrally formed at a window, and a protrusion portion is integrally formed on the window so that the fingerprint recognizing cover has a thinner thickness than that of the window, thereby improving a fingerprint recognition function of the fingerprint recognition unit as well as a waterproof function in a fingerprint recognition region of the electronic device, and in which the number of parts is reduced because the window is integrally configured to have the fingerprint recognizing cover and the protrusion portion, thereby simplifying an assembling process.

Problems solved by technology

However, the portable electronic device is vulnerable to water.
The vinyl waterproof case makes the user to be inconvenienced.
Furthermore, the waterproof case may be damaged during the withdrawing of the portable electronic device.
That is, the waterproof case has a disadvantage in that it may be easily damaged because the user frequently puts / takes the portable electronic device in / out the waterproof case before and after using the portable electronic device.
