Abstract

Systems and methods are involved with but are not limited to a display case portion including an interior surface; and a tensional retention assembly including a tensional member, a first clip, a second clip, and the tensional member including a first end and a second end, the first clip coupled to the first end of the tensional member and the second clip coupled to the second end of the tensional member, the tensional member configured to be stretched from a first length to a second length longer than the first length wherein tensional forces are thereby applied to the first clip and the second clip. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

Claims (24)

1. A portable electronic device case comprising:

a display case portion including an interior surface;

a tensional retention assembly including a tensional member, a first clip, and a second clip, the tensional member including a first end and a second end, the first clip coupled to the first end of the tensional member and the second clip coupled to the second end of the tensional member, the tensional member configured to be stretched from a first length to a longer second length wherein tensional forces are thereby applied to the first clip and the second clip;

a keyboard case portion hingedly coupled to the display case portion; and

a first strap and a second strap, the first strap coupled to a first portion of the interior surface of the display case portion, a first portion of the tensional member positioned between a portion of the first strap and a first portion of the interior surface, the second strap coupled to a second portion of the interior surface of the display case portion, a second portion of the tensional member positioned between a portion of the second strap and a second portion of the interior surface.

2. The portable electronic device case of claim 1 wherein the tensional member comprises one or more elastic bands.

3. The portable electronic device case of claim 1 wherein the tensional member comprises one or more elastic cords.

4. The portable electronic device case of claim 1 wherein the first clip includes a spine, a first wall, and a second wall, the first wall and the second wall extending from the spine thereby forming a slot and wherein the second clip includes a spine, a first wall, and a second wall, the first wall and the second wall of the second clip extending from the spine of the second clip thereby forming a slot of the second clip.

5. The portable electronic device case of claim 4 wherein the slot of the first clip is sized to receive a first portion of a display of a portable electronic device and the slot of the second clip is sized to receive a second portion of the display of the portable electronic device.

6. The portable electronic device case of claim 4 wherein the first side wall of the first clip is sized to extend no further than a bezel of a display of a portable electronic device when the first clip of the first clip is engaged with a first portion of the display of the portable electronic device and wherein the first side wall of the second clip is sized to extend no further than the bezel of the display of the portable electronic device when the second clip is engaged with a second portion of the display of the portable electronic device.

7. The portable electronic device case of claim 1 wherein the first clip and the second clip are made of a plastic material.

8. The portable electronic device case of claim 1 , wherein the keyboard case portion further comprises an interior surface, a zippered edge, and a corner holder material, the zippered edge including a first side, a second side, and a corner therebetween, the corner holder material positioned above the interior surface and extending from the first side, second side, and the corner of the zippered edge.

9. The portable electronic device case of claim 1 , wherein the keyboard case portion further comprises an interior surface, and one or more rests, the one or more rests extending from the interior surface thereby providing spacing between the interior surface and a portion of a planar surface in contact with the one or more rests.

10. A portable electronic device case comprising:

a display case portion including an interior surface;

a tensional retention assembly including a tensional member, a first clip, a second clip, and the tensional member including a first end and a second end, the first clip coupled to the first end of the tensional member and the second channel clip coupled to the second end of the tensional member;

a keyboard case portion hingedly coupled to the display case portion; and

a first strap and a second strap, the first strap coupled to a first portion of the interior surface of the display case portion, a first portion of the tensional member positioned between a portion of the first strap and a first portion of the interior surface, the second strap coupled to a second portion of the interior surface of the display case portion, a second portion of the tensional member positioned between a portion of the second strap and a second portion of the interior surface.

11. The portable electronic device case of claim 10 wherein the tensional member comprises one or more elastic bands.

12. The portable electronic device case of claim 10 wherein the tensional member comprises one or more elastic cords.

13. The portable electronic device case of claim 10 wherein the first clip includes a spine, a first wall, and a second wall, the first side wall and the second side wall extending from the spine thereby forming a slot and wherein the second clip includes a spine, a first wall, and a second wall, the first side wall and the second side wall of the second clip extending from the spine of the second clip thereby forming a slot of the second clip.

14. The portable electronic device case of claim 13 wherein the slot of the first clip is sized to receive a first portion of a display of a portable electronic device and the slot of the second clip is sized to receive a second portion of the display of the portable electronic device.

15. The portable electronic device case of claim 13 wherein the first side wall of the first clip is sized to extend no further than a bezel of a display of a portable electronic device when the first clip of the first clip is engaged with a first portion of the display of the portable electronic device and wherein the first side wall of the second clip is sized to extend no further than the bezel of the display of the portable electronic device when the second clip is engaged with a second portion of the display of the portable electronic device.

16. The portable electronic device case of claim 10 , wherein the keyboard case portion further comprises an interior surface, a zippered edge, and a corner holder material, the zippered edge including a first side, a second side, and a corner therebetween, the corner holder material positioned above the interior surface and extending from the first side, second side, and the corner of the zippered edge.
