Abstract

A protection case for a portable electronic device includes a case having a front part and a rear part, and the portable electronic device is accommodated between the front and rear parts. A rear cover is connected to the rear part and a front cover is connected to the front part. The front cover has a front decoration plate, a connection member and a locking member. The front decoration plate is removably connected to the front part. The connection member is flexible and has a first end connected to the front decoration plate and a second end of the connection member is clamped between the front and rear parts. The locking member has a hook hooked with the groove. The protection case can be easily replaced and changed.

Claims

1. A protection case for a portable electronic device, comprising:

a case having a front part and a rear part which is connected to the front part, the case adapted to accommodate the portable electronic device therein, the front part having two recesses defined in opposite ends of a front side thereof, a groove defined in a rear side of the front part and located corresponding to one of the recesses, a ridge extending from an inside of the rear part;

a rear cover connected to the rear part and engaged with an inside of the ridge, the rear cover adapted to cover a rear side of the portable electronic device, and

a front cover having a front decoration plate, a connection member and a locking member, the front decoration plate connected to the front part and having two extension plates respectively extending from two sides thereof and engaged with the two recesses, the front decoration plate adapted to cover a front side of the portable electronic device, the connection member being flexible and having a first end connected to one of the two extension plates of the front decoration plate, a second end of the connection member being clamped between the front and rear parts, the locking member connected to the other extension plate on the front decoration plate, the locking member having a hook which is hooked with the groove.

2. The protection case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rear part has a rear engaging slot and a rear hole at a front side thereof, the rear hole is smaller than the rear engaging slot, the rear hole communicates with a side of the rear part, the front part has a front engaging slot defined in a rear side thereof, the front and rear engaging slots define a connection slot, the connection member has a first end extending through the rear hole and has an enlarged protrusion portion which is engaged with the connection slot.

3. The protection case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the front decoration plate has at least one pattern.

4. The protection case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rear cover has multiple rear decoration plates.

5. The protection case as claimed in claim 4, wherein the rear decoration plate located at the outside of the multiple rear decoration plate is a transparent plate and a photo is clamped between the transparent rear decoration plate and the rear decoration plate next to the transparent rear decoration plate.

6. The protection case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the front decoration plate and the rear cover are solar energy panels which is adapted to provide power to the portable electronic device.

7. The protection case as claimed in claim 1, wherein two ends of the case includes at least one through hole which is adapted to be located corresponding to connection ports of the portable electronic device, two slide casings are slidably mounted to the two ends of the case so as to cover up or expose the at least one through hole.

8. The protection case as claimed in claim 7, wherein two sides of the case each have two slide slots and each slide slot comprises a restriction slot and a positioning slot which is smaller than the restriction slot, the positioning slots are located outside of the restriction slots, two inside sides of each of the positioning slots has positioning protrusions, the two slide casings each have two side plates extending beyond the two sides of the case and each side plate has a resilient hook which is slidably engaged with the slide slot corresponding thereto, each resilient hook has a protrusion rod on the side plate and the protrusion rod has an enlarged part on a distal end thereof, the enlarged part has at least one slit defined from the enlarged part to a root portion of the protrusion rod, the protrusion rod is movable in the positioning slot and the enlarged part is movable in the restriction slot, the slit provides a space for deformation of the positioning protrusion.

9. A protection case for a portable electronic device, comprising:

a resilient coat adapted to be mounted to the portable electronic device and having a through hole which is adapted to be located corresponding to a screen of the portable electronic device, the resilient coat having protrusions which are adapted to be located corresponding to buttons and connection ports of the portable electronic device, the protrusions adapted located corresponding to the connection ports having an insertion hole for receiving a cable inserted therein;

an outer case having a front part and a rear part which is connected to the front part, the resilient coat clamped between the front and rear parts, the front part having a window which is located corresponding to the through hole of the resilient coat, the front part having a front recess which is located corresponding to the protrusion of the resilient coat, the front part having two front slide slots respectively on two sides thereof, the rear part having a rear recess which is located corresponding to the protrusion of the resilient coat, the front and rear recesses defining an aperture and the protrusion extends through the aperture, the rear part having two rear slide slots respectively on two sides thereof, the front and rear slide slots defining a slide slot, and

slide having a connection plate and two side plates extending from two sides of the connection plate, the connection plate having an insertion inserted in the insertion hole below the protrusion, the two side plates each have two engaging members which are slidably engaged with the two front and slide slots of the outer case so that the slide is slidable and rotatable relative to the outer case.

10. The protection case as claimed in claim 9, wherein the slide is pivoted an angle and positioned relative to the outer case for angularly supporting the portable electronic device on a surface.
