Abstract

A case including a case member having a back cover attached thereto, and a cover member which is arranged on a side of the back cover opposite to the case member side while covering an outer circumferential surface of the case member and on which band attachment sections are provided corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the case member.

Claims (60)

1. A case comprising:

a back cover;

a case member attached to a first side of the back cover; and

a cover member comprising:

a cover main body arranged on a second side of the back cover opposite to the first side of the back cover;

an outer circumferential cover section, wherein at least a portion of the outer circumferential cover section is provided on the first side of the back cover to cover an outer circumferential surface of the case member; and

band attachment sections configured to be attached to bands, wherein at least a portion of each of the band attachment sections is provided on the first side of the back cover to cover the outer circumferential surface of the case member.

2. The case according to claim 1 ,

wherein a space is formed between the outer circumferential surface of the case member and an inner end surface of each of the band attachment sections provided corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the case member.

3. The case according to claim 1 ,

wherein the case member comprises:

a hard main body case; and

a soft exterior case provided on an upper outer circumferential portion of the hard main body case, wherein the soft exterior case is formed of a material that is softer than a material of the hard main body case.

wherein the case member comprises:

a hard main body case; and

5. The case according to claim 2 ,

wherein the case member comprises a main body case, and

wherein the space is formed between an outer circumferential surface of the main body case of the case member and an inner end surface of each of the band attachment sections corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the main body case of the case member.

6. The case according to claim 5 ,

wherein the case member further comprises an exterior case provided on an upper outer circumferential portion of the main body case, and

wherein each of the band attachment sections is structured to be flexurally deformed such that an upper inner end portion of the each of the band attachment sections approaches a lower rim of an outer circumferential portion of the exterior case in response to a lower outer end of the each of the band attachment sections being pressed upward toward the back cover.

7. The case according to claim 5 ,

wherein the case member further comprises an exterior case provided on an upper outer circumferential portion of the main body case, and

wherein a lower rim of an outer circumferential portion of the exterior case is arranged in at least a portion of the space.

8. The case according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a buffer member; and

a screw,
