Abstract

A convertible smartphone case apparatus having a connector hinge; a first special-fitted smartphone case configured to be selectively engaged with connector hinge, wherein the first special-fitted smartphone case is configured to protect a first smartphone device; and a second special-fitted smartphone case configured to be selectively engaged with the connector hinge, wherein the second special-fitted smartphone case is configured to protect a second smartphone device; wherein each special-fitted smartphone case is configured to be selectively pivoted about the connector hinge. Each special-fitted smartphone case may be selectively pivoted about the connector hinge to assume a desired orientation. Each special-fitted smartphone case may be selectively detached from the connector hinge, while still protecting the corresponding smartphone device. Securing pegs attached to the connector hinge may be configured to engage with corresponding securing pockets nested within each special-fitted smartphone case to improve engagement between each special-fitted smartphone case and the connector hinge.
