Abstract
A protective case for a mobile device. A housing defines a recess to receive the mobile device. A kickstand and/or a finger loop are provided and configured to avoid increasing the maximum thickness of the case necessitated by the lens structure of the mobile device.
Claims18
A protective case for a mobile device comprising:
- a housing defining a recess to receive the mobile device;
- a kickstand coupled to the housing in a lens adjacent portion of the housing, wherein a bounding box required to contain a lens assembly and the lens adjacent portion of the housing with the kickstand in stowed configuration is no larger than a bounding box required to contain the lens assembly and lens adjacent portion with no kickstand present and wherein in a deployed configuration the kickstand can maintain the case in either a portrait orientation or a landscape orientation.
A protective case for a mobile device comprising:
- a housing defining a recess to receive the mobile device, the housing further defining a concave recess on a backside of the housing, the backside having a thickness;
- and
- a resilient member coupled to reside within the thickness, a portion of the resilient member exposed above the concave recess when no force is applied;
- wherein, in use, the resilient member engages at least one finger of a user to a grip required to hold the mobile device and when not in use is collapsible within the concave recess responsive to a force less than a lesser of a force caused by a weight of the device under the influence of gravity or magnetic force of attraction of a wireless charger;
- and
- wherein the resilient member comprises an upper region a lower region and an intermediate region wherein the intermediate region overlies the concave recess and both the upper region and the lower region move relative to the housing to permit the resilient member to transition to a deployed configuration.
