Abstract

A case for an electronic device wherein the electronic device has a receiver coil for wireless charging and the receiver coil is formed in between an inner circle and an outer circle, includes: a hard protective frame constructed to receive the electronic device therein wherein the hard protective frame faces the electronic device; and a metal plate constructed to be received in the recess. The metal plate is constructed to enable magnetic retention or attachment of the case to a support having a magnet. The metal plate has a rounded concave edge, and the metal plate does not overlap with the inner circle. Preferably, the rounded concave edge, the inner circle, and the outer circle are substantially symmetrical with respect to a same line.

Claims (25)

1. A case for an electronic device wherein the electronic device has a receiver coil for wireless charging constructed within the electronic device and the receiver coil is formed in between an inner boundary and an outer boundary of the electronic device, the case comprising:

a soft protective cover constructed to receive the electronic device therein;

a hard protective cover constructed to removably mount over the soft protective cover; and

a metal plate positioned between the hard protective cover and the soft protective cover,

wherein the metal plate is constructed to enable magnetic retention or attachment of the case to a support having a magnet,

wherein the metal plate has a rounded concave edge, and

wherein the metal plate is positioned to substantially allow magnetic waves to pass through the area formed by the inner boundary.

2. The case of claim 1 , wherein the soft protective cover includes a recess to receive the metal plate therein.

3. The case of claim 1 , wherein the metal plate does not overlap with an orthographic parallel projection of the area formed by the inner boundary.

4. The case of claim 3 , wherein the rounded concave edge substantially symmetrically aligns to respective orthographic parallel projections of the inner boundary and the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate, and

wherein the rounded concave edge at least partially overlaps with an orthographic parallel projection of the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate.

5. The case of claim 3 , wherein the rounded concave edge substantially symmetrically aligns to respective orthographic parallel projections of the inner boundary and the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate, and

wherein the rounded concave edge is placed outside an orthographic parallel projection of the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate.

6. A case for an electronic device wherein the electronic device has a receiver coil for wireless charging constructed within the electronic device and the receiver coil is formed in between an inner boundary and an outer boundary of the electronic device, the case comprising:

a soft protective cover constructed to receive the electronic device therein; and

a metal plate positioned between the soft protective cover and the electronic device,

wherein the metal plate is constructed to enable magnetic retention or attachment of the case to a support having a magnet,

wherein the metal plate has a rounded concave edge, and

wherein the metal plate is positioned to substantially allow magnetic waves to pass through the area formed by the inner boundary.

7. The case of claim 6 , wherein the soft protective cover includes a recess to receive the metal plate therein.

8. The case of claim 6 , wherein the metal plate does not overlap with an orthographic parallel projection of the area formed by the inner boundary.

9. The case of claim 8 , wherein the rounded concave edge substantially symmetrically aligns to respective orthographic parallel projections of the inner boundary and the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate, and

wherein the rounded concave edge at least partially overlaps with an orthographic parallel projection of the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate.

10. The case of claim 8 , wherein the rounded concave edge substantially symmetrically aligns to respective orthographic parallel projections of the inner boundary and the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate, and

wherein the rounded concave edge is placed outside an orthographic parallel projection of the outer boundary onto a projection plane of the metal plate.
