Cases for electronic devices

Abstract

Cases for electronic devices are provided. The first case for an electronic device has a first unit and a second unit wherein the second unit is a removable back portion having a storage compartment which is secured in a flush manner with respect to the back of the first unit. Alternatively, the second unit (or “third” layer) is a removable securing layer which is temporarily secured to the back of the first unit of the first case and wherein the second unit may be carried by a lanyard or strap. Finally, a second case for an electronic device has a protective cover which rotates from a first position to a second position wherein in the first position the protective cover covers the electronic device and wherein the second position the protective cover allows access to the electronic device.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A case for an electronic device comprising:
 a first housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and a generally hollow interior wherein the interior of the first housing stores an electronic device;   a second housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and a generally hollow interior; and   a hook and loop fastener system having a first unit and a corresponding locking second unit wherein the first unit of the hook and loop fastener system is located on the bottom of the first housing and wherein the second unit hook and loop fastener system is located on the top of the second housing and wherein the hook and loop fastener system allows the first housing to be temporarily secured to the second housing.   
     
     
         2 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  wherein the first housing is rigid and wherein the second housing is flexible. 
     
     
         3 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  wherein the first housing is transparent and wherein the second housing is not transparent. 
     
     
         4 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an opening on the first housing or the second housing wherein the opening on the first housing or the second housing receives a lanyard or strap for carrying the case. 
 
     
     
         5 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a light located on the first housing or the second housing. 
 
     
     
         6 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a securing mechanism on the second housing wherein the securing mechanism allows access to the interior of the second housing or prevents access to the interior of the second housing. 
 
     
     
         7 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a reflective or fluorescent marking on the first housing or second housing for increasing visibility of the first housing or second housing. 
 
     
     
         8 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a third housing having a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top and a bottom wherein the third housing has a hook and loop fastener system which temporarily mates with the hook and loop fastener system of the first housing allowing a user to select between the securing the second housing or the third housing to the first unit. 
 
     
     
         9 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a strap secured to the bottom of the first housing wherein the strap has a button or magnet which correspondingly mates with a button receiver or magnet located on the top of the second housing. 
 
     
     
         10 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a clip for securing a cable or wire located on the second housing wherein the cable or wire is attached to the electronic device located within the interior of the first housing. 
 
     
     
         11 . The case for an electronic device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an opening in the first housing wherein the opening allows a user to activate a button or control on the electronic device.
