Abstract
A case for a mobile device includes a housing sized to receive the mobile device. The housing defines a plurality of corner portions, each corner portion includes an interior wall. The mobile device is spaced a distance from the interior wall of the corner portions when disposed within the housing. The housing includes a plurality of protrusions disposed along at least a portion of the interior wall, the protrusions are operable to space the mobile device a distance away from the interior wall.
Claims15
A case sized to receive a mobile device, the case comprising:
- a first portion;
- and
- a second portion separable from the first portion, the second portion including a perimeter portion, the perimeter portion defining at least one groove;
- the first portion including:
- an interior portion;
- a side wall defining a perimeter around the interior portion, the side wall further defining a plurality of corner portions, the side wall further including at least one tab engageable with the at least one groove to removeably engage the first portion to the second portion;
- and
- a plurality of protrusions affixed to the side wall and spaced a distance away from each other, the plurality of protrusions being configured to space the mobile device a distance away from the side wall and the plurality of corner portions creating a deformation region between the mobile device and the first portion when the mobile device is received within the first portion, the deformation region having a depth, and each corner portion further defining a recess having a depth less than the depth of the deformation region;
- and
- a flexible bladder disposed within the deformation region.
A mobile device case sized to receive a mobile device, the mobile device case comprising:
- a first portion;
- and
- a second portion, the second portion being matable to and separable from the first portion;
- the first portion including:
- a side wall defining an interior;
- a plurality of corner portions;
- a plurality of protrusions affixed along at least a portion of the interior of the side wall and configured to space the mobile device a distance away from the side wall and the plurality of corner portions creating a deformation region between a corner of the mobile device and the first portion when the mobile device is retained within the first portion;
- and
- a flexible bladder disposed within each of the plurality of corner portions.
A case sized to receive a mobile device, the case comprising:
- a first portion;
- and
- a second portion separable from the first portion, the second portion including a perimeter portion, the perimeter portion defining a first mating element;
