Electronic device case
Abstract
Devices and systems are provided for vaping. Exemplary devices include a case for an electronic device that comprises a form factor having a length, a width and a thickness that are greater than those of the electronic device. The backside of the case has a first cavity with a first bottom formed within, wherein the cavity is formed to flushly accept and hold the electronic device. The case also includes a rechargeable battery contained in a battery storage cavity within the form factor and an electronically operated vapor producing device moveably connected along the exterior edge and at least partially replacing the exterior edge. The cellular phone and the electronically operated vapor producing device are electrically connectable to the rechargeable battery via one or more electric conductors passing through the form factor.
