Abstract

A protective case includes a main housing and a cover. The main housing includes a wire arranging portion with a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame. The first frame and the second frame are diagonally positioned each other, and the third frame are positioned at one side of the second frame. The cover is detachable from the main housing for covering the wire arranging portion.

Claims

1. A protective case comprising:

a main housing including a wire arranging portion, the wire arranging portion including a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame, the first frame and the second frame diagonally positioned each other, and the third frame positioned at one side of the second frame; and

a cover detachably attached to the main housing for covering the wire arranging portion.

2. The protective case of claim 1, wherein the main housing includes a base plate and a peripheral wall extending from all sides of the base plate, the peripheral wall is configured for holding a portable electronic device in the main housing.

3. The protective case of claim 2, wherein the base plate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface defines a receiving cavity, and the wire arranging portion is formed in the receiving cavity.

4. The protective case of claim 1, wherein the first frame has a peripheral wall, a first coiled portion and a second coiled portion, the first coiled portion and the second coiled portion are positioned at one end of the first frame, and are spaced from each other, a first clearance is defined between the first coiled portion and the second coiled portion of the first frame.

5. The protective case of claim 4, wherein the second frame includes a peripheral wall, a first coiled portion and a second coiled portion, the first coiled portion and the second coiled portion are positioned at one end of the second frame, a second clearance is defined between the first coiled portion and the second coiled portion, the second coiled portion of the first frame and the second coiled portion of the second frame are diagonally positioned each other, and communicate with each other.

6. The protective case of claim 5, wherein the size of the third frame is smaller than the first frame and the second frame, and is positioned at one side of the second frame, one end of the third frame is flushed with one end of the second frame, a third clearance is defined between the second frame and the third frame.

7. The protective case of claim 3, wherein the receiving cavity is surrounded by a bottom wall and two opposite sidewalls, the cover includes a plate portion and two side plates, the plate portion covers the receiving cavity opposite to the bottom wall, and the two side plates latch with the sidewalls of the receiving cavity.

8. The protective case of claim 3, wherein the first frame, the second frame, and the third frame respectively have tabs configured for preventing a data wire from separating therefrom.
