Camera Case With Suspension System

Abstract

A storage case for an electronics device is provided that includes a main storage compartment with a selectively adjustable suspension system that selectively interconnects to sidewalls of the main storage compartment, thus providing the user with the ability to customize the storage area within the main storage compartment. The suspension system also is resiliently deflectable to help dissipate shock loads resulting from drops, for example. The storage case in one embodiment is designed for cameras and may also include a plurality of lens storage compartments with selectively adjustable lens dividers, storage pockets, and storage compartments.
