Electronic device case

Abstract

Electronic device case with a hollow rectangular case made of resilient material such as leather, vinyl or the like or non resilient material such as plastic or aluminum or the like, the case being comprised of an upper half and a lower half hingedly connected at one end, both the halves capable of being opened or closed with respect to each other by a zipper, the upper half having a belt clip or belt loop fixedly attached to its outer surface, the lower half having an electronic device retaining means located on the inside, said retaining means allowing said electronic device control buttons to be visible and usable while said electronic device is retained in said case, said lower half being capable of folding outwards to a suitable viewing angle, said viewing angle being secured by means of a pair of support straps that each terminate centrally at one end to the side wall of said upper half and at the opposite end to the side wall of said lower half. The support straps are capable of being shortened or lengthened by means of hook and loop fastening material or other known fastening methods thereby allowing the user to adjust the viewing angle of said electronic device. The upper half of the electronic device case has a pair of attachment rings located near the corners of the top outer surface, said attachment rings capable of retaining a neck strap thereby allowing the user to wear said electronic device on his or her chest.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . Electronic device case comprising: 
 a hollow rectangular case made of resilient material such as leather, vinyl or the like or a non resilient material such as plastic or aluminum or the like;    said case being comprised of an upper half and a lower half hingedly connected by an adjoining strip at one end;    both said halves capable of being opened or closed with respect to each other by means of a zipper or other known closure means;    said upper half having a means of attachment such as a belt clip or strap so that said upper half of said case can be attached to the users body in a vertical position;    said lower half having a electronic device retaining means located on the inside;    said retaining means allowing said electronic device control buttons to be visible and usable while said electronic device is retained in said case;    said lower half being capable of folding outwards to a suitable viewing angle;    said viewing angle being obtained by means of a pair of outwardly disposed support straps that each terminate at the approximate center, side of said upper case half at one end and at the approximate center side of said lower case half at the opposite end.    
     
     
         2 . Electronic device case as claimed in    claim 1    wherein 
 said support straps are capable of being shortened or lengthened by means of hook and loop fastening material or other known fastening methods thereby allowing the user to adjust the viewing angle of said electronic device while housed in said electronic device case.  
 
     
     
         3 . Electronic device case as claimed in    claim 1    wherein 
 said upper case has a pair of attachment rings located near the opposing corners of the top outer surface; said attachment rings capable of retaining a neck strap thereby allowing the user to wear said electronic device on his or her chest.
