Abstract

An electronic device cleaning case and method for construction thereof is provided. A housing includes four corners. Each corner includes top and bottom edges and a rounded edge formed between the top and bottom edges to form a void configured to receive a portable electronic device. Each corner of the housing is shaped to wrap around a corner of the portable electronic device. The housing also includes two walls. Each wall includes top and bottom edges and a rounded edge formed between the top and bottom edges to form a void configured to receive the portable electronic device. Each wall is affixed to two of the four corners. A cleaning component includes a backing and a cleaning cloth affixed to a top surface of the backing. The cleaning component is placed upon a top surface of the bottom edge of the corners and walls.

Claims (32)

1. An electronic device cleaning case, comprising:

a housing comprising:

four corners, each corner comprising top and bottom edges and a rounded edge formed between the top and bottom edges forming a void configured to receive a portable electronic device, wherein each corner of the housing is shaped to wrap around a corner of the portable electronic device; and

two walls, each wall comprising top and bottom edges and a rounded edge formed between the top and bottom edges forming a void configured to receive the portable electronic device and affixed to two of the four corners; and

a cleaning component comprising:

a backing; and

a cleaning cloth affixed to a top surface of the backing,

wherein the cleaning component is placed upon a top surface of the bottom edge of the corners and walls.

2. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning cloth or a separate cleaning cloth covers an interior surface of the walls that form the void and an interior surface of the corners that form the void.

3. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 1 , wherein the cleaning component is pushed upward towards the top edges of the corners and walls after removal of the portable electronic device.

4. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 3 , wherein one or more of the walls and the corners are at least partially inverted as the cleaning component is pushed upward.

5. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 1 , wherein a gap is formed between ends of the corners not affixed to one of the walls.

6. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 5 , wherein one or more pieces extending from a perimeter of the portable electronic device protrude through the gap between the corners.

7. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 1 , wherein the housing can be affixed to at least one band and worn around a wrist of an individual.

8. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a support frame comprising a bottom surface and two or more corners affixed to the bottom surface.

9. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the corners of the support frame is affixed to a wall that is attached to the bottom surface of the support frame.

10. An electronic device cleaning case according to claim 8 , wherein the corners of the support frame fit within the voids of the corners of the housing or the corners of the support frame cover the corners of the housing.

11. A method for constructing an electronic device cleaning case, comprising:

constructing a housing comprising four corners, each corner comprising top and bottom edges and a rounded edge formed between the top and bottom edges forming a void configured to receive a portable electronic device, wherein each corner of the housing is shaped to wrap around a corner of the portable electronic device;

affixing two of the corners to each of the two walls, wherein the walls each comprise top and bottom edges and a rounded edge formed between the top and bottom edges forming a void configured to receive the portable electronic device; and

placing a cleaning component upon a top surface of the bottom edge of the corners and walls, wherein the cleaning component comprises a backing and a cleaning cloth affixed to a top surface of the backing.

12. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the cleaning cloth or a separate cleaning cloth covers an interior surface of the walls that form the void and an interior surface of the corners that form the void.

13. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the cleaning component is pushed upward towards the top edges of the corners and walls after removal of the portable electronic device.

14. A method according to claim 13 , wherein at least one of the walls and the corners are at least partially inverted as the cleaning component is pushed upward.

15. A method according to claim 11 , wherein a gap is formed between ends of the corners not affixed to one of the walls.

16. A method according to claim 15 , wherein one or more pieces extending from a perimeter of the portable electronic device protrude through the gap between the corners.

17. A method according to claim 11 , wherein the housing can be affixed to at least one band and worn around a wrist of an individual.

18. A method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

a support frame comprising a bottom surface and two or more corners affixed to the bottom surface.

19. A method according to claim 18 , wherein at least one of the corners of the support frame is affixed to a wall that is attached to the bottom surface of the support frame.

20. A method according to claim 18 , wherein the corners of the support frame fit within the voids of the corners of the housing or the corners of the support frame cover the corners of the housing.
