Abstract
A case with a transparent shell accommodates a sheet mounted within the shell to modify the appearance of the case. Magnetic coupling at the corner of the shells retains the sheet. Binding at the distal edge of the shell extends over the periphery of the sheet when placed within the transparent shell. The sheet may include visual information arranged to appear through the transparent shell.
Claims6
A case comprising
- a transparent shell including a planer face and sidewalls extending laterally of the planer face about a periphery of the planar face, the sidewalls and the planar face forming at least two corners on the transparent shell;
- corner covers outwardly of the transparent shell over each of the formed corners, respectively, each corner cover including first ferromagnetic elements over the planar face and the sidewalls, respectively;
- a sheet positionable inwardly of the transparent shell including second ferromagnetic elements alignable under the planar face with the first ferromagnetic elements, respectively, one or both of the first and second ferromagnetic elements each being magnetic;
- binding fixed at distal edges of the sidewalls, the sheet being positionable under the binding with the first and second ferromagnetic elements magnetically engaged.
