The protective and cooling case includes a case body, a securing mechanism, and at least one cooling module. The case body is a structure that is wrapped around the electronic device in order to protect the electronic device from shock forces when or if accidentally dropped. The case body can be any shape and size to protect various types of electronic devices such as, but not limited to, mobile phones or electronic tablets. The securing mechanism is a means to securely attach the at least one cooling module to the case body. The at least one cooling module is used to reduce the temperature of the electronic device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A protective and cooling case for an electronic device comprises: a case body; a securing mechanism; at least one cooling module; the case body comprises a lateral frame and a base platform; the lateral frame comprises a proximal rim and a distal rim; the base platform comprises a proximal face and a distal face; the proximal rim being perimetrically connected to the proximal face; and the at least one cooling module being mounted into the base platform by the securing mechanism. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: at least one port-access opening; and the at least one port-access opening traversing through the lateral frame. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: at least one button extension; and the at least one button extension being integrated into the lateral frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: at least one camera opening; and the at least one camera opening traversing through the base platform. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: a kickstand; and the kickstand being hingedly connected to the distal face. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one cooling module is a cooling pack. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one cooling module is a heatsink device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 7 comprises: the at least one cooling module comprises a thermally-conductive housing, a plurality of heat-retaining pipes, and a plug; the plurality of heat-retaining pipes being positioned within and throughout the thermally-conductive housing; the plug being releasably mounted into the thermally-conductive housing; and the plug being in fluid communication with the plurality of heat-retaining pipes. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: the securing mechanism comprises at least one receptacle; the at least one receptacle traversing into the base platform; the at least one receptacle being positioned between the proximal face and the distal face; and the at least one cooling module being positioned within the at least one receptacle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 9 comprises: the securing mechanism further comprises a first slide-release assembly and a second slide-release assembly; the first slide-release assembly and the second slide-release assembly each comprise at least one proximal interlocking feature and at least one distal interlocking feature; the first slide-release assembly and the second slide-release assembly being positioned opposite to each other about the at least one cooling module; the at least one proximal interlocking feature being integrated into the at least one cooling module; the at least one distal interlocking feature being integrated into the base platform; and the at least one proximal interlocking feature and the at least distal interlocking feature being engaged to each other. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: the securing mechanism comprises a plurality of fasteners; and the cooling module being attached onto the distal face by the plurality of fasteners. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 11 comprises: each of the plurality of fasteners comprises a track and a rail; the track being integrated into the distal face; the rail being connected onto the at least one cooling module; and the rail being slidably engaged along the track. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 1 comprises: the securing mechanism comprises at least one recessed space; the at least one recessed space traversing into the base platform from the proximal face; and the at least one cooling module being situated within the at least one recessed space. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The protective and cooling case for an electronic device as claimed in claim 13 comprises: the securing mechanism further comprises a plurality of structural ribs; the plurality of structural ribs being integrated into the proximal face; and the plurality of structural ribs being distributed around the at least one recessed space.
