A multi-configuration electronic device carrying case, comprising:
- a protective encasing structure configured to receive and hold an electronic device, the encasing structure including a length and a width,
- wherein the encasing structure includes an outer shell and a protective inner layer,
- wherein the encasing structure further includes a temperature insulating material positioned between the outer shell and the protective inner layer,
- wherein the carrying case is configured to float when placed into a body of water,
- wherein the protective inner layer includes a plurality of nested frames, wherein the frames are of varying thicknesses, wherein an outside level includes a largest frame having a largest thickness, and wherein an inside level includes a smallest frame having a smallest thickness,
- wherein the encasing structure further includes an integrated printer in the interior of the encasing structure, wherein the printer is configured to print a document based on a command received from the electronic device held within the encasing structure;
- and
- at least four adjustable straps configured to attach the encasing structure to a person in one of a plurality of configurations, wherein the configurations include:
- a hip holster configuration, wherein the hip holster configuration utilizes two adjustable straps, one adjustable strap for connection around a waist of the person and one adjustable strap for connection around one leg of the person, each of the two adjustable straps being connected to the encasing structure at a respective set of two attachment points on one face of the encasing structure separated along the width of the encasing structure;
- and
- a back configuration, wherein the back configuration utilizes two adjustable straps, one adjustable strap for connection around each arm of the person, attaching the encasing structure to a back of the person, each of the two adjustable straps being connected to the encasing structure at a respective set of two attachment points on the one face of the encasing structure separated across the length of the encasing structure;
- the four attachment points separated along the width of the encasing structure being different than the four attachment points separated across the length of the encasing structure;
- wherein the four adjustable straps are retractable straps under tension that are configured to substantially recede into the encasing structure when not connected, wherein one end of each of the four adjustable straps is permanently connected to the encasing structure.
