Abstract

Claims (35)

1 . A case designed for a corresponding electronic device, comprising:

a layer comprising a base;

an opening in the base; and

a plurality of edges extending from the base and configured to receive and hold the corresponding electronic device;

wherein the plurality of edges comprises a first and second edge adapted to correspond to a first side and second side of the corresponding electronic device and a third and fourth edge adapted to correspond to an upper side and a lower side of the corresponding electronic device;

wherein the first and second edges comprise a major height H and a minor height h where the major height H and minor height h are measured from the base;

wherein the minor height h is continuous along the first and second edges;

wherein the major height His reduced to a minor height h by at least one transition portion;

wherein the third and fourth edges comprise the major height H that is the same or greater than the height of the at least one transition portion;

wherein the major height His continuous along the third and fourth edges; and

wherein at least a portion of one of the first and second edges comprising minor height h comprises a tab adapted to correspond to a button on an edge of the corresponding electronic device.

2 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the minor height h is adapted to expose at least a portion of the corresponding edges of the corresponding electronic device.

3 . The case of claim 2 , wherein the height profiles of the first and second edges are symmetrical.

4 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the minor height h is adapted to expose at least a portion of a screen of the corresponding electronic device.

5 . The case of claim 4 , wherein the height profiles of the first and second edges are symmetrical.

6 . The case of claim 1 , wherein the height profiles of the first and second edges are symmetrical.

7 . The case of claim 6 , wherein the edges are substantially perpendicular to the base.

8 . A case designed for a corresponding electronic device comprising:

a layer comprising a base;

an opening in the base; and

a plurality of edges;

wherein the plurality of edges comprises a first and second edge adapted to correspond to a first side and second side of the corresponding electronic device and a third and fourth edge adapted to correspond to an upper side and a lower side of the corresponding electronic device;

wherein the first and second edges comprise a major height H and a minor height h where the major height H and minor height h are measured from the base;

wherein the major height His greater than the height of the corresponding electronic device received within the case;

wherein the minor height h is continuous along the first and second edges;

wherein the major height His reduced to a minor height h by at least one transition portion;

wherein the third and fourth edges comprise the major height H that is the same or greater than the height of the at least one transition portion;

wherein the major height His continuous along the third and fourth edges; and

wherein a portion of at least one of the first and second edges comprising minor height h comprises a tab adapted to correspond to a button on an edge of the corresponding electronic device.

9 . The case of claim 8 , wherein the minor height h is adapted to expose at least a portion of the corresponding edges of the corresponding electronic device.

10 . The case of claim 9 , wherein the height profiles of the first and second edges are symmetrical.

11 . The case of claim 8 , wherein the minor height h is adapted to expose at least a portion of a screen of the corresponding electronic device.

12 . The case of claim 11 , wherein the height profiles of the first and second edges are symmetrical.

13 . The case of claim 8 , wherein the height profiles of the first and second edges are symmetrical.

14 . The case of claim 13 , wherein the edges are substantially perpendicular to the base.
