Abstract
A protective case with removable shell for holding and camouflaging a smart phone or similar device, such as, but not limited to, an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. The case comprises a front cover and a back cover, which may be rigid or hardback. The front and back covers are hingedly connected along one edge by a spine. A plurality of tabs extending from the inside of the back cover differentially engage corresponding slots in the back of the removable shell, allowing the case and shell to be configured in various positions. The inside of the front cover contains various slots or pockets, and functions as a wallet. The exterior of the case has the appearance of a book, which helps disguise the fact that the case holds a smart phone or similar device.
