Abstract
An arm band case for portable electronic device is disclosed. The arm band case may be secured to the user with straps and includes a pocket having a transparent window that provides visibility to the touchscreen of the electronic device and a plurality of powered light sources that are configured to illuminate the arm band and thereby provide added visibility to the user when in use. The arm band case is formed of multiple layers that encapsulate the light sources while allowing access to the battery housed therein and while facilitating the transmission and dispersion of light to illuminate the arm band.

An arm band case for portable electronic devices, the arm band case comprising:
- a multi-layered arm band having a base panel extending from a first end section to a second end section, a front panel having a front side and an opposing underside bonded to a mesh substrate that extending from the second end section to a mid-section located between the first end section and the second end section, and a transparent layer forming a transparent screen window and adjacent regions thereto;
- a pocket formed in the mid-section and dimensioned to receive and house a portable electronic device;
- a battery housing configured to receive a battery;
- a battery contained within the battery housing;
- and
- a plurality of light sources electrically connected to and powered by the battery, wherein light emitted from the light sources sideways away from the pocket and into the adjacent regions of the transparent layer.
An arm band case for portable electronic devices, the arm band case comprising:
- a multi-layered arm band having a base panel extending from a first end section to a second end section, a front panel having a front side and an opposing underside bonded to a mesh substrate that extending from the second end section to a mid-section located between the first end section and the second end section, and a transparent polymer layer forming a transparent screen window and adjacent regions thereto;
- a pocket formed in the mid-section and dimensioned to receive and house the portable electronic device;
- a battery housing having a first side adhered to the underside of the front panel;
- a battery contained within the battery housing;

- a plurality of light sources electrically connected to the battery and configured to be powered by the battery.
An arm band case for portable electronic devices, the arm band case comprising:
- an arm band having a front face and an opposing back face and extending from a first end section to a second end section with a mid-section residing there between, wherein the front face includes a pattern of slots extending there-through that reveal a underlying mesh substrate;
- a pocket formed in the mid-section and dimensioned to receive and house the portable electronic device;
- a battery housing;
- a battery contained within the battery housing;
- a plurality of light sources electrically connected to the battery and configured to be powered by the battery;
- and
- a back cover movable from a closed position to an open position, wherein in the closed position the back cover overlies a battery access opening in the arm band to the battery housing, and wherein in the open position the back cover is displaced from the battery access opening, relative to its position in the closed position, to allow access to the battery housing.
