Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone case design technology, specifically to a flexible chain mobile phone case. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of mobile devices, phone cases, as an important protective accessory, not only ensure device safety but also increasingly meet users' demands for personalized appearance and diverse functions. Traditional phone cases are mostly made of hard plastic, silicone, or a single piece of leather, molded in one piece. While this design provides basic protection, it has significant drawbacks: First, rigid materials lack the ability to deform, and are prone to breakage due to stress concentration during accidental drops or compression, leading to protective failure; second, although soft materials can cushion impacts through deformation, they are prone to loosening and deformation after long-term use, making it difficult to maintain a tight cover for the phone's edges and side buttons, reducing the reliability of protection.

[0003] Furthermore, existing foldable or segmented phone cases typically rely on hinges or snap-fit ​​structures to enhance flexibility and achieve partial movement. However, such mechanical connection components have inherent drawbacks: hinges require precision machining to match the rotation trajectory of multiple frame segments, resulting in high production costs; snap-fit ​​connections rely on the physical interlocking of protrusions and grooves, which are prone to loosening or even breakage due to wear after repeated bending. For example, while a design using a rigid metal frame with a hinge can enhance overall drop resistance, the lack of an elastic buffer layer at the contact surface between the frame and the phone can cause discomfort during prolonged use; while a fully soft rubber material can improve tactile comfort through overall wrapping, its softness makes it difficult to secure the position of precision components such as cameras and side buttons, easily leading to misalignment and obstruction that affects functionality. These contradictions highlight the limitations of single materials and rigid connection structures in terms of functional expandability. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to solve the problems in the prior art, such as the difficulty in balancing protective performance and user experience, and the homogenization of appearance due to the limited selection of materials.
