## Abstract

A holding aid of the present invention includes an attachment mechanism, two masks, and a hand holding structure. The attachment mechanism is used for attaching on an electronic product. The masks are connected to the attachment mechanism for covering the electronic product. The hand holding structure includes one or several gashes which are formed on the masks. Thus, user's hand can penetrate through the gashes for holding. Therefore, it is realized that functions of covering and sheltering and easy holding are provided by single accessory.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A holding aid, comprising a main body which comprises:
an attachment mechanism which is utilized for attaching on an electronic product, the attachment mechanism having a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other, the attachment mechanism having a positioning portion, the electronic device being able to be positioned in the positioning portion, the positioning portion being located between the first surface and the second surface;
a first mask which is planar and flexible, the first mask having a third surface and a fourth surface which are opposite to each other, the first mask being parallel to the attachment mechanism, at least a part of a periphery of the first mask being fixedly connected to at least a part of a periphery of the attachment mechanism, the fourth surface facing the first surface;
a second mask which is planar and flexible, the second mask having a fifth surface and a sixth surface which are opposite to each other, the second mask being parallel to the attachment mechanism, at least a part of a periphery of the second mask being fixedly connected to at least a part of the periphery of the attachment mechanism, the sixth surface facing the first surface;
at least a hand holding structure, disposed on at least one of the fourth surface of the first mask and the sixth surface of the second mask;
wherein a receiving space is defined by the attachment mechanism, the fourth surface of the first mask, and the sixth surface of the second mask, the receiving space is adapted for the electronic product to be received therein;
wherein the first mask and the second mask are able to be flipped and turned over to the second surface of the attachment mechanism, the third surface of the first mask and the fifth surface of the second mask face the second surface of the attachment mechanism when the first mask and the second mask are flipped and turned over, so that the hand holding structure and the electronic product positioned in the positioning portion are exposed outwardly, the electronic device is able to positioned to the third surface of the first mask and the fifth surface of the second mask and is able to be supported by the hand holding structure, and prepared for manually holding and operating.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The holding aid of claim 1, wherein the attachment mechanism is an attaching frame which is able to wrap a periphery portion of the electronic product.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The holding aid of claim 1, wherein the attachment mechanism comprises a planar bottom layer which is located at the second surface of the attachment mechanism and an attaching frame which is able to wrap the electronic product.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The holding aid of claim 1, wherein an edge of the first mask and an edge of the second mask which are not connected to the attachment mechanism are lined abreast and adjacent each other, so that the first surface of the attachment mechanism is covered by the first mask and the second mask.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The holding aid of claim 1, wherein the hand holding structure comprises two gashes which are formed on the fourth surface of the first mask and the sixth surface of the second mask respectively, the gashes are lined abreast, so that the gashes are adapted for a hand to penetrate therethrough.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The holding aid of claim 1, wherein the first mask and the second mask are partially connected and formed in single piece.
