Title
Protection case for smart phone
Background of the Present Invention
Field of Invention
This invention relates to a protection case for a smart phone, and more
especially, to a protection case used to pack and protect iPhone 4 products.
Description of Related Arts
At present, the iPhone smart phone produced by Apple Inc. has become popular
all over the world and a symbol of "fashion". Since the product is tablet
style, it is
inconvenient to use and carry about without other auxiliary equipments.
Therefore, some
packing devices for the smart phone are available in the market for carrying a
smart
phone. However, these devices fail to provide a support for smart phones and
are
inconvenient to use.
Summary of the Present Invention
An object of the present invention is to provide a protection case for a smart
phone capable of containing a smart phone and being used as a smart phone
support, thus
achieving convenient utilization and prevention of the smart phone from
accidental
damage.
Accordingly, in order to accomplish the above object, the present invention
provides a protection case for a smart phone, comprising a foldable cover, and
a
protection shell connected to the cover. The protection shell includes a curve-
shaped base

plate fitted a back of the smart phone, and four hooks that are respectively
located at four
corners of the base plate.
Preferably, two baffles are configured on two side edges of the protection
shell,
one of the two baffles is connected and integrated with two hooks located at
two
corresponding corners, and the other, which is provided with a notch, is
connected and
integrated with a hook located at a corresponding corner.
Preferably, an elliptic magic tape, for connecting to an internal surface of
the
foldable cover, is configured on a back of the base plate of the protection
shell.
Preferably, a strip-shaped magic tape, for connecting to an internal surface
of
foldable cover when using the smart phone, is configured on an external
surface of one of
the two baffles of the protection shell.
Preferably, a strip-shaped magic tape, for connecting to an internal surface
of
the foldable cover when using the smart phone, is configured under a back of
the base
plate of the protection shell.
Preferably, an external surface of the foldable cover is made of leather
materials
and an internal surface thereof is made of flexible materials such as
flannelette.
The favorable effects of the present invention are as follows: within this
structure, two curve-shaped baffles are configured on two side edges of the
protection
shell and four hooks are respectively configured at four corners, then the
iPhone/smart
phone can be fastened tightly in the protection shell to prevent it from
falling; afterwards,
the protection shell and smart phone are put in the protection case for the
convenience of
carrying. When using the smart phone, lay the protection shell in the
protection case
together with the smart phone and adjust the angle, then fix it on the
protection case.
Since the angle can be adjusted arbitrarily, it is easy to use.

CA 02772959 2012-03-22
Two curve-shaped baffles 23 opposite to each other are respectively configured
on two side edges of the base plate 21, one of the two baffles 23 is connected
and
integrated with two hooks 22 respectively located at two corresponding
corners, and the
other baffle 23, which is provided with a notch, is connected and integrated
with a hook
22 located at a corresponding corner.
FIG. 4 shows the first embodiment of the invention, wherein an iPhone 4 is put
in the wide-open cover 1 together with the protection shell 2 and connects
with the
corresponding internal surface of the cover 1 through the strip-shaped magic
tape 24
configured on the back of the baffle 23 for the convenient operation of the
iPhone 4.
FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment of the invention, the iPhone 4 is put in
the
wide-open cover I together with the protection shell 2 and connects with the
flannelette
at the corresponding internal surface of the cover 1 through the strip-shaped
magic tape
24 configured on the back of the baffle 23, the arrangement angle is different
from the
angle mentioned above to adapt different operation habits for the convenient
operation of
iphone 4.
FIG. 6 shows the third embodiment of the invention, wherein an iPhone 4 is put
in the wide-open cover 1 together with the protection shell 2 and connects
with the
flannelette at the corresponding internal surface of the cover I through the
elliptic magic
tape 25 configured on the back of the protection shell 2 and the strip-shaped
magic tape
26 under the back of the base plate of the protection shell, the arrangement
angle is
different from the angle mentioned above to adapt different operation habits
for the
