Mobile device case for secured access and improvements
Mobile device cases are provided which, in a first embodiment, selectively limit a user's ability to control the user's own mobile electronic device. The case includes front and rear portions joined together and defining therein an opening for receiving a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile phone. A locking mechanism is provided for selectively securing the opening in a first locked position to prevent operational access to the mobile electronic device by the user until a predetermined condition is met. The case includes an indicia of time visible to the user during the period of time of prevented operational access. In a further embodiment, a case is provided with first and second polymeric shells each having an interior and an exterior surface thereon and connected together by at least one hinge portion. The first and second shell portions form a cavity of sufficient size to cover a mobile electronic device sufficiently to prevent access by its user. Tamper resistant and ultrasonic sensor defeating mobile device case embodiments are also contemplated by this invention.
1. A fabric case for limiting a user's ability to control said user's own mobile electronic device, said case comprising front and rear portions joined together and defining therein an opening for receiving said mobile electronic device, and a locking mechanism for securing said opening in a first locked position to prevent operational access to said mobile electronic device by said user until a predetermined condition is met, said case comprising: an indicia of time visible to said user during the period of time of prevented operational access;
wherein said indicia of time is provided by a battery operated clock;
wherein said battery operated clock is joined to a portion of the locking mechanism of said case; and
wherein said locking mechanism comprises a magnetic lock comprising a pin having a button disposed on one end, said battery operated clock being joined proximate to said button.
