1. A case for an electronic device comprising:
- a first case portion comprising;
a first back sidewall, wherein the first back sidewall comprises a top edge; and
a lower sidewall, connected to the first back sidewall at an end opposite of the top edge, that will be positioned against a bottom side edge of the electronic device;
a second case portion comprising;
an upper sidewall that will be positioned against a top side edge of the electronic device when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion; and
an open side end, opposite the upper sidewall, wherein the second case portion slides onto the first case portion through the open side end;
a back opening, through a back of the case, comprising a length and a width, wherein the length of the back opening is greater than the width of the back opening; and
a ring, coupled to the back opening, comprising a length and a width, wherein the length of the ring is greater than the width of the ring, and the ring'"'"'s width is aligned with the opening'"'"'s width, and the ring'"'"'s length is aligned with the opening'"'"'s length,the ring comprises an inner surface having a height at least a thickness of the back of the case from an interior side to an exterior side of the back of the case,the inner surface of the ring is colored in its entirety in a black color, whereby the black color helps reduce glare from a flash to a camera of the electronic device,wherein when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion, the first and second case portions meet at and form a seam which extends across the back of the case, andwhen the second case portion is seated against the first case portion, a first open-shaped opening for the first case portion merges with a second open-shaped opening for the second case portion to form a front opening of the case through which a screen of the electronic device will be visible, the front opening having a closed shape.
