Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mobile phone case, specifically a multi-element lens cover mobile phone case. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most phone cases on the market are a combination of PC sheet and TPU frame, with only one element visible on the back, resulting in a rather bland overall appearance. Furthermore, the two materials are prone to delamination at the joint after molding. Additionally, the camera lens area is either completely exposed or covered by the TPU frame. Exposed lenses weaken the case's overall strength, making it prone to warping and deformation, affecting the phone's appearance. While covering the lens with a TPU frame increases strength, the TPU frame is prone to yellowing, as this is the most noticeable area on the phone case, becoming very visible after some time and detracting from its aesthetics. Therefore, the inventor has improved the phone case's structure. Utility Model Content
