Abstract

A case for a bar type mobile electronic device is provided. The case includes a main body and an auxiliary body. The main body includes a periphery part and guide parts. The periphery part wraps the sides of the mobile electronic device. The guide parts cover parts of the front and back of the mobile electronic device. The guide parts are extended in the direction where the mobile electronic device is located at both opposite edges of the periphery part. The auxiliary body wraps the outer surface of the periphery part. The auxiliary body applies pressure to the main body in the direction of the mobile electronic device. The auxiliary body assists the main body to couple to the mobile electronic device, so that the case cannot be easily removed from the mobile electronic device and can protect the mobile electronic device from scratches and external impact.

Claims

1. A case for a bar type mobile electronic device, the case comprising:

a main body that includes a periphery part for wrapping the sides of the mobile electronic device and guide parts for covering parts of the front and back of the mobile electronic device, where the guide parts are extended in the direction where the mobile electronic device is located at both opposite edges of the periphery part; and

an auxiliary body for wrapping the outer surface of the periphery part, wherein the auxiliary body applies pressure to the main body in the direction of the mobile electronic device.

2. The case of claim 1, wherein:

the main body is made of silicon or urethane; and

the auxiliary body is made of polycarbonate.

3. The case of claim 2, wherein the main body further forms:

a receiving groove on the outer surface, depressed in the direction where the mobile electronic device is located, with a width corresponding to that of the auxiliary body, where the receiving groove receives the auxiliary body.

4. The case of claim 3, wherein:

the receiving groove forms first chamfers by rounding both opposite edges of the periphery part; and

the auxiliary body forms second chamfers by rounding both opposite edges to be fitted into the receiving groove,

the first and second chamfers guide the auxiliary body to the receiving groove.

5. The case of claim 3, wherein:

the periphery part forms coupling protrusions on the outer surface corners, with a certain distance in the thickness direction of the main body; and

the auxiliary body forms coupling grooves on the inner wall, at positions corresponding to the coupling protrusions,

the main body and the auxiliary body are slid and coupled to each other in a state where the coupling protrusions match the coupling grooves in positions.

6. The case of claim 5, wherein:

each of the coupling protrusions forms a first taper at the end portion that is beveled; and

each of the coupling grooves form a second taper at the end portion that is beveled,

the first and second tapers are formed correspondingly to be coupled to each other.

7. The case of claim 2, wherein the main body further comprises:

a bottom plate for covering the back of the mobile electronic device.
