[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] The protective case of an electronic device provided by the utility model includes a bottom case that wraps the back of the electronic device and a surface cover that covers the front of the electronic device. The bottom case and the surface cover are connected by a soft material portion. The surface cover includes a hard plate and an edge that is softly connected to the hard plate. The edge has a curved arc to cover the side of the electronic device. The end surface where the hard plate is connected to the edge is provided with a protrusion, and the end surface where the edge is connected to the hard plate is provided with a groove. The groove is fitted with the protrusion to connect the hard plate and the edge. The length of the protrusion is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0019] The protective case for the electronic device provided by the utility model uses the curved edging provided on the surface cover to cover the side of the electronic device. At the same time, the hard plate of the surface cover and the edging are connected by protrusions and grooves, wherein the length of the protrusion is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm, so that the connection between the edging and the hard plate is stable and the curved edging has a good covering effect.

[0020] It should be noted that the electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a handheld game console, etc., and the protective case provided by the present invention is not limited thereto. The following takes the electronic device being a mobile phone as an example to exemplify the protective case provided by the present invention.

[0021] Please participate Figures 1 to 6 The protective case of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a bottom case 1 and a surface cover 2 , and the bottom case 1 and the surface cover 2 are connected by a soft material part 3 .

[0022] The front cover 2 comprises a rigid plate 21 and a rim 22 flexibly connected to the rigid plate 21. The rigid plate 21 is a rectangular plate that covers most of the front of the phone. The rim 22 extends from the connection with the rigid plate 21 and is curved to cover the sides of the phone. Unlike existing flip-top protective cases, the protective case provided by the present invention utilizes the curved rim 22 on the front cover 2 to cover the sides of the electronic device.

[0023] The end surface where the hard plate 21 connects to the edging 22 has a protrusion 211, while the end surface where the edging 22 connects to the hard plate 21 has a groove 221. The groove 221 fits over the protrusion 211 to connect the hard plate 21 and the edging 22. This fitting of the groove 221 and the protrusion 211 creates a flexible connection between the edging 22 and the hard plate 21, resulting in a simple structural design and easy production. In an alternative embodiment, the groove 221 and the protrusion 211 are securely fitted together using a laminating process.

[0024] The edging 22 and the hard board 21 are softly connected by fitting the groove 221 and the protrusion 211. The length design of the protrusion is crucial to the stability of the connection. When the length of the protrusion 211 is long, the arc of the soft connection will form an outward extrusion force due to the internal force, causing the connection to be easily deformed or even cracked, thereby affecting the service life of the protective shell; and when the length of the protrusion 211 is short, the bite force of the soft connection between the groove 221 and the protrusion 211 is insufficient, which easily causes the edging 22 to fall off the hard board 21. The experiment found that when the length of the protrusion 211 is greater than or equal to 1.5mm and less than or equal to 2mm, the connection stability of the edging 22 and the hard board 21 is good, so that the bending covering effect of the edging 22 is good, thereby effectively covering the side of the electronic device. Furthermore, designing the thickness of the protrusion to be greater than or equal to 0.8mm and less than or equal to 1mm will further improve the stability of the soft connection between the groove 221 and the protrusion 211.

[0025] The inner wall of the edging 22 is provided with a bending groove 222 to create a gap with the side of the phone. The radius of the bending groove 222 is greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 1.5mm. Within this range, the edging 22 provides an optimal bending effect without affecting the aesthetics of the protective case. The edging 22 extends at the bending groove 222 and bends toward the phone. The bending angle is greater than 90 degrees and less than 95 degrees, allowing the edging 22 to effectively cover the side of the phone while ensuring stability.

[0026] The inner wall of the edging 22 is provided with at least one magnet slot 223 along the longitudinal direction of the phone, with a magnet disposed therein. In this embodiment, three magnet slots are provided, and the magnets within the magnet slots 223 attract the sides of the phone, further enhancing the fit and coverage of the edging 22 and providing greater stability.

[0027] The protective case for the electronic device provided by the utility model uses the curved edging provided on the surface cover to cover the side of the electronic device. At the same time, the hard plate of the surface cover and the edging are connected by protrusions and grooves, wherein the length of the protrusion is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm, so that the connection between the edging and the hard plate is stable and the curved edging has a good covering effect.

[0028] To provide a more detailed and complete description of the present disclosure, the following illustrative descriptions of various embodiments and examples of the present invention are provided. However, these descriptions are not intended to be the only way to implement or use the embodiments of the present invention. The detailed descriptions cover the features of various embodiments and the method steps and sequences for constructing and operating these embodiments. However, other embodiments may also be used to achieve the same or equivalent functionality and step sequences.
