Cellular Telephone Case

Abstract

A cellular telephone case having an integrated clip is provided. The case has body, a clip extending from the body and a sidewall that forms a cavity to receive the cellular telephone. The clip applies pressure to a surface of the cellular telephone, and may clip the phone to various objects. Further the clip may receive cards such as credit cards and licenses.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cellular telephone case comprising:
 a body;   a clip, integrally formed with the body and extending substantially parallel from the body;   a sidewall, extending from the body and forming a cavity of the case, the cavity sized to receive and secure a cellular telephone;   wherein the clip is formed such that at least part of an inner surface of the clip exerts a force on the cellular telephone when received in the cavity; and   wherein the clip comprises a first rigid material, and a second flexible material, the second flexible material disposed over an outer surface of the clip.   
     
     
         2 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the clip forms a first outwardly curved section and a second inwardly curved section, the first outwardly curved section being at an approximate middle of a length of the clip, the second inwardly curved section being at a distal end of the length of the clip. 
     
     
         3 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the body is formed of the first rigid material. 
     
     
         4 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 3  wherein the sidewall is at least partially formed of the first rigid material. 
     
     
         5 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall further comprises a first flange extending perpendicularly from a top edge of the sidewall. 
     
     
         6 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall forms a touch screen aperture at a front of the case. 
     
     
         7 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the body has a thickness greater than a thickness of the clip. 
     
     
         8 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall and body form a rear aperture, the rear aperture allowing direct contact between the cellular telephone received within the case and the clip, the rear aperture sized to receive a credit card between the cellular telephone and the clip. 
     
     
         9 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the body is constructed of the first rigid material, and the second flexible material, the second flexible material disposed over an outer surface of the body. 
     
     
         10 . The cellular telephone cover of  claim 1  further comprising a circular protrusion extending from the at least part of the inner surface of the clip that exerts a force on the cellular telephone when received in the cavity. 
     
     
         11 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 10  wherein the circular protrusion is formed by the second flexible material. 
     
     
         12 . The cellular telephone cover of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall forms an aperture, the aperture sized to allow access to a cellular telephone element on a side of the cellular telephone. 
     
     
         13 . The cellular telephone case of  claim 1  wherein the sidewall forms a button, the button sized and configured to be positioned over a button of a cellular telephone when the cellular telephone is received by the case, the button of the sidewall configured to depress the button of the cellular telephone when the button of the sidewall is in a depressed position. 
     
     
         14 . A cellular telephone case comprising:
 a body, formed of a first rigid material;   a clip, integrally formed with the body and extending substantially parallel to an inner face of the body;   a sidewall, extending from the body substantially perpendicular to the inner face of the body and forming a cavity of the case, the cavity sized to receive and secure a cellular telephone, wherein the sidewall forms a touch screen aperture at a front of the case;   a first flange extending perpendicularly from a top edge of the sidewall;   wherein the clip is formed such that at least part of an inner surface exerts a force on the cellular telephone when received in the cavity, the clip comprising a first outwardly curved section and a second inwardly curved section, the first outwardly curved section being at a middle of a length of the clip, the second inwardly curved section being at a distal end of the length of the clip; and   wherein the clip is constructed of the first rigid material, and a second flexible material, the second flexible material disposed over an outer surface of the clip;   wherein the sidewall and body form a rear aperture, the rear aperture allowing direct contact between a cellular telephone and the clip, the rear aperture sized to receive a credit card between the cellular telephone and the clip;   a circular protrusion extending from the at least part of the clip inner surface that exerts a force on the cellular telephone when received in the cavity;   the sidewall forming a headphone aperture at a top of the case, a ring adjust aperture on a side of the case, and a power input aperture at a bottom of the case; and   the base forming a camera aperture on a rear of the case.
