The first side portion 121 and the third side portion 123 are generally opposite to each other, and the second side portion 122 and the fourth side portion 124 are generally opposite to each other. The first side portion 122 contacts the top of the phone, and the third side portion 123 contacts the bottom of the phone. The second side portion 122 may have a phone volume button protection structure, the third side portion 123 may have a phone microphone protection structure and a phone terminal block through hole, and the fourth side portion 124 may have a phone power button protection structure. The main body portion 11 may also have a camera hole 14. The shape of the substrate 20 and the decorative piece 30 is the same as the structural shape of the main body portion 11 except for the camera hole 14. Of course, the decorative piece 30 may also be a rectangular structure, that is, the shape and size of the decorative piece 30 may be smaller than the shape and size of the main body portion 11. In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the decorative piece 30 has the same or similar shape as the mobile phone case 10. Specifically, the decorative piece 30 has the same or similar shape as the main body 11 of the mobile phone case 10, and the decorative piece 30 may be provided with a mounting hole. The mounting hole has the same or similar shape as the camera hole 14. Preferably, the size of the mounting hole may be slightly larger than the size of the camera hole 14. Of course, the structural shape of the decorative piece 30 can also be selected and set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the decorative sheet 30 may be made of PVC or PC material. Alternatively, it may be made of other translucent materials. Further, the decorative sheet 30 may be manufactured using stamping or CNC machining. The thickness of the decorative sheet 30 is approximately 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm, preferably 0.3 mm.

Cartoon patterns may include, but are not limited to, original cartoon characters. The patterns may be formed on the decorative sheet 30 by printing or engraving.

[0047] In some embodiments, the decorative piece 30 is connected to the substrate 20 by adhesive bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, and / or magnetic attraction. For example, as... Figure 2As shown, the decorative piece 30 is connected to the substrate 20 by an adhesive bonding method. The periphery of the surface of the decorative piece 30 that is in contact with the substrate 20 is provided with adhesive 40 (such as 3M adhesive), so that the decorative piece 30 can be bonded to the substrate 20. In addition, the adhesive 40 can be continuously set or set in multiple segments with intervals, which is not specifically limited here.

[0048] In some embodiments, the decorative piece 30 is connected to the substrate 20 by a snap-fit ​​connection. For example, the decorative piece 30 has several snaps on its surface facing the substrate 20, and the substrate 20 has several slots, allowing them to be snap-fitted together. Since the thickness of the substrate 20 is slightly greater than the thickness of the decorative piece 30, providing slots on the substrate 20 ensures that the thickness of the decorative piece 30 and the substrate 20 does not increase after they are assembled together.

[0049] In some embodiments, the decorative piece 30 is connected to the substrate 20 by magnetic attraction, wherein the main body 11 is provided with a first magnetic member 13, which may be located at the middle of the main body 11. The substrate 20 is provided with a second magnetic member that is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 13.

[0050] Of course, in some embodiments, the decorative piece 30 is provided with a third magnetic element (such as...) that magnetically attracts the first magnetic element 13 and / or the second magnetic element. Figure 4 (As shown). When the substrate 20 is provided with a second magnetic attractor and the decorative piece 30 is provided with a third magnetic attractor, the two can be magnetically fixed together. Both the second and third magnetic attractors can be several flat magnetic sheets. Of course, if the substrate 20 is provided with a second magnetic attractor, the decorative piece 30 may not be provided with a third magnetic attractor. The decorative piece 30 is disposed between the main body 11 and the substrate 20. When the first magnetic attractor 13 and the second magnetic attractor are magnetically fixed together, the decorative piece 30 can be effectively fixed.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the phone case 10 includes a frame, which is generally rectangular and annular in shape. The inner cavity of the frame forms a receiving cavity, and the assembly is connected to the frame. For example, the periphery of the substrate 20 can be snapped to the inner sidewall of the frame. Preferably, a limiting portion is provided on one side of the frame, so that when the assembly is installed in the receiving cavity, the limiting portion can limit the periphery of the assembly, so that the assembly is stably installed in the receiving cavity.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the incoming call answer button 22 is located in the middle of the substrate 20, so that when the mobile phone user needs to answer a call, his finger, such as his index finger, can easily touch the incoming call answer button 22, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0053] Furthermore, the substrate 20 has a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, and the incoming call answer button 22 is disposed in the middle of the first surface of the substrate 20. In some embodiments, the reminder light source 23 is disposed in the middle of the first surface of the substrate 20 and is disposed around the incoming call answer button 22. The decorative piece 30 is combined with the first surface of the substrate 20, so that the mobile phone user can reduce the travel of pressing the incoming call answer button 22, making it easier to press the incoming call answer button 22 in time to answer the call, and avoiding direct contact between the incoming call answer button 22 and the back of the mobile phone, avoiding wear on the back of the mobile phone and the incoming call answer button 22, thereby improving the service life of the incoming call answer button 22.

[0054] In some embodiments, a first groove 20a is provided in the middle of the first surface of the substrate 20, and the incoming call answer button 22 is disposed in the first groove 20a; and / or, a second groove 20b is provided in the middle of the first surface of the substrate 20, and the reminder light source 23 is disposed in the second groove 20b.

[0055] Preferably, a first groove 20a is provided in the middle of the first surface of the substrate 20, and the incoming call answer button 22 is disposed in the first groove 20a. The first groove 20a can be a circular groove. The placement of the incoming call answer button 22 in the first groove 20a makes the overall structure of the substrate 20 relatively flat and does not increase the overall thickness of the substrate 20. Furthermore, the placement of the incoming call answer button 22 in the first groove 20a allows the mobile phone user's finger to more easily locate the button, improving the user experience.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the reminder light source 23 is located at the center of the first surface of the substrate 20, and the reminder light source 23 is located around the call answer button 22, for example, the reminder light source 23 is located at the center of the first surface of the substrate 20, and the reminder light source 23 is located on the left, right, top, and / or bottom side of the call answer button 22. When the mobile phone receives a call, the reminder light source 23 can flash at a certain frequency, for example, gradually brightening, then gradually dimming, and then gradually brightening again, achieving the effect of a breathing light. Alternatively, the reminder light source 23 can also change different colors, for example, changing to red, then green, and then blue, to remind the mobile phone user. The reminder light source 23 can be an LED light source, for example, a surface-mount LED light source. The shape of the reminder light source 23 can be arc-shaped, circular, square, or other shapes. There can be one or more reminder light sources 23. When two reminder light sources 23 are provided, they can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the call answer button 22. Of course, the structure, location, and number of the reminder light source 23 can be selected and set according to actual needs, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0057] Preferably, a second groove 20b is provided in the middle of the first surface of the substrate 20, and the reminder light source 23 is disposed in the second groove 20b, making the first surface of the substrate 20 flatter. The shape of the second groove 20b can be adapted to the shape of the reminder light source 23.

[0058] In some embodiments, the control circuit board 21 is provided with a processor 211 and a communication module 212, and the processor 211 communicates with the mobile phone through the communication module 212.
