Portable electronics device case with utility recess

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a portable electronics device case. The portable electronics device case includes a body having an interior face and an exterior face. Semi-flexible walls rise from the interior face, defining a perimeter encompassing a cavity dimensioned to securely contain a portable electronic device. A recess is disposed in the exterior face of the body and is dimensioned for receipt of a fastener strip. The fastener strip includes a fastener surface and a utility surface opposite the fastener surface. In certain embodiments, the utility surface includes a print surface, frictional surface, a reflective surface, a stand, a clip, a pocket surface, and other utility structures joined to the utility surface of the fastener strip.

         6 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , wherein said utility surface comprises a print surface. 
     
     
         7 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 6 , wherein said print surface comprises a paper composite. 
     
     
         8 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 6 , wherein said print surface comprises photo paper. 
     
     
         9 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , wherein said utility surface comprises a reflective surface. 
     
     
         10 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , wherein said utility surface comprises a frictional surface. 
     
     
         11 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , wherein said utility surface comprises a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         12 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , further comprising a rigid stand, the upper end of said stand pivotably joined to said utility surface wherein said lower end of said stand can pivot away from said utility surface. 
     
     
         13 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , further comprising a rigid clip, the upper end of said clip pivotably joined to said utility surface and the lower end of said clip tension biased toward said utility surface, wherein said lower end of said clip can pivot away from said utility surface. 
     
     
         14 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 4 , further comprising a cover, the edges of said cover joined to said utility surface such that said cover and said utility surface bound an enclosed region presenting a pocket. 
     
     
         15 . A modified portable electronics device case comprising:
 a body having an interior face and an exterior face;   semi-flexible walls rising from said interior face defining a perimeter encompassing a cavity dimensioned to contain a portable electronic device;   a recess nested within the surface of said exterior face disposed within said exterior face of said body dimensioned for receipt of a fastener strip; and   a fastener strip having a fastener surface and a utility surface, said fastener surface comprising an adhesive fastener.   
     
     
         16 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 15 , wherein said utility surface comprises a print surface. 
     
     
         17 . The portable electronics device case of  claim 15 , wherein said print surface comprises a paper composite.
