Abstract

Disclosed is a card accommodation cell phone case including a card accommodation portion recessed by a certain depth from an inner surface of a lower body portion with the same shape as a card to be accommodated and in which a card inlet is formed at a position coming into contact with an upper body portion.

Claims (25)

1. A card accommodation cell phone case comprising:

an upper body portion mounted to surround an upper side of a cell phone to be mounted where a camera lens is located on the basis of a folded part of the cell phone;

a lower body portion mounted to surround a lower side of the cell phone to be mounted where the upper body portion is not mounted on the basis of the folded part of the cell phone;

an upper end buffer portion mounted on an inner surface of the upper body portion, disposed on a part coming into contact with an upper end of the cell phone, configured to space the inner surface of the upper body portion at a certain distance apart from the upper end of the cell phone, and on which an upper end buffer protrusion portion protruding by a certain length is formed in a direction toward a corner of the upper body portion;

a lower end buffer portion mounted on an inner surface of the lower body portion, disposed on a part coming into contact with a lower end of the cell phone, configured to space the inner surface of the lower body portion at a certain distance apart from the lower end of the cell phone, and on which a lower end buffer protrusion portion protruding by a certain length is formed in a direction toward a corner of the lower body portion;

a card accommodation portion recessed by a certain depth from the inner surface of the lower body portion with the same shape as a card to be accommodated and in which a card inlet is formed at a position coming into contact with the upper body portion;

a lower inner surface configured to form an accommodation space having a certain volume so as to allow the lower side of the cell phone to be mounted therein while being surrounded thereby;

a card-insertion inducing plate having a plate-shaped structure, located on a plane continued with the lower inner surface, and configured to connect both sides of a card inlet;

a card-insertion inducing groove formed in the lower inner surface to be recessed so as to allow the card-insertion inducing plate to be exposed outward; and

a finger-grip groove having a semicircular structure and formed to be continuously recessed in a central part of the card-insertion inducing groove so as to be grippable by a user's finger.

2. The card accommodation cell phone case of claim 1 , wherein the upper body portion comprises:

an upper inner surface configured to form an accommodation space having a certain volume so as to allow the upper side of the cell phone to be mounted therein while being surrounded thereby;

a lens exposure portion formed to pass through one surface to allow the camera lens of the cell phone to be mounted to be exposed outward; and

a button exposure portion formed to be recessed from one surface to allow a button formed on a side of the cell phone to be mounted to be exposed outward.

3. The card accommodation cell phone case of claim 1 , wherein the card accommodation portion comprises:

a side sliding groove formed to be recessed by a certain depth from both sides of a structure recessed by a certain depth in the inner surface of the lower body portion, to be continued in a direction in which the card to be accommodated is inserted, and to surround parts of both sides of the card to be accommodated; and

an end insertion groove formed to be recessed by a certain depth from an end surface of a structure recessed by a certain depth in the inner surface of the lower body portion and to surround a part of an end of the card to be accommodated.

4. The card accommodation cell phone case of claim 1 , wherein the upper end buffer portion comprises:

an upper end buffer body portion formed to have the same structure as the inner surface of the upper body portion and comprising a flexible material having a certain level of elastic restorability;

an upper end buffer protrusion portion formed to have a certain height and integrally with both ends of the upper end buffer body portion, protruding outward by a certain length and exposed through a corner of the upper body portion, and comprising a flexible material having a certain level of elastic restorability; and

an upper end contact portion formed on an inner surface of the upper end buffer body portion and having the same structure as an upper end surface of the cell phone, and

wherein the lower end buffer portion comprises:

a lower end buffer body portion formed to have the same structure as the inner surface of the lower body portion and comprising a flexible material having a certain level of elastic restorability;

a lower end buffer protrusion portion formed to have a certain height and integrally with both ends of the lower end buffer body portion, protruding outward by a certain length and exposed through a corner of the lower body portion, and comprising a flexible material having a certain level of elastic restorability; and

a lower end contact portion formed on an inner surface of the lower end buffer body portion and having the same structure as a lower end surface of the cell phone.
