Abstract

A protective cover structure includes a main body with an accepting space to form a frame structure. A lid engages with the main body at the bottom of the frame through corresponding buckling elements. A groove is respectively disposed on the peripheries of upper and lower surfaces of the main body, where the groove of the lower surface is used for coupling and securing a decorative bottom plate, and the groove of the upper surface couples with an annular decorative body. In use, a user first removes the lid from the main body, inserts an electronic device, and then tightly covers the lid onto the main body, thereby securely receiving the electronic device in the main body to protect the electronic device, and providing decorative effects through the configurations of the decorative bottom plate and decorative body.

Claims

1. A protective cover structure, comprising:

a main body having a frame structure with an accepting space, a lid opening formed on a bottom of said main body, a buckling recess being respectively formed on opposing sides of said main body at said opening, and a groove being respectively disposed on peripheries of upper and lower surfaces of said main body;

a lid having buckling projections corresponding to said buckling recesses of said main body, the lid configured to cover said lid opening of said main body;

a bottom plate having a multilayer structure and attached to and secured in said groove of said lower surface of said main body, the bottom plate formed by stacking together at least an outer layer, a cushioning interlayer, and a supporting sheet; and

a decorative body attached to and secured in said groove of said upper surface of said main body.

2. The protective cover structure according to claim 1, wherein said main body or lid is made of plastic, said opening of said main body and said lid are respectively U-shaped structures, a plurality of holes corresponding to positions of buttons or speakers of an electronic device are disposed on side edges of said main body, and said grooves are disposed around said peripheries of said main body, each groove forming a stepwise structure with said main body.

3. The protective cover structure according to claim 1, further comprising an inner pad on said supporting sheet of said decorative bottom plate.

4. The protective cover structure according to claim 3, wherein an outer edge of said decorative bottom plate is shaped to correspond to said groove of said lower surface, a total height of said outer layer, cushioning interlayer and supporting sheet after being stacked together being substantially the same as a depth of said groove of said main body, and said inner pad of said decorative bottom plate is shaped to correspond to an inner edge of said frame of said main body, said decorative bottom plate forming a plane with said lower surface of said main body after being attached thereto.

5. The protective cover structure according to claim 1, wherein said decorative body is an annular structure made of genuine leather or synthetic leather, and forms a plane with said upper surface of said main body after being attached thereto.
