  • Among numerous protecting methods and protecting apparatuses, there is a fashion and popular method to protect the mobile by covering the periphery of the mobile phone with a hard or soft sleeve, particularly the side edges and the angles (of the mobile) that are most likely to be scratched can be protected. The sleeves are mostly integrally-formed hard or soft rubber products, so that they cannot abut against the mobile phone to be protected closely, adversely affecting the appearance of the mobile phone.
  • The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a protecting case which can be closely fitted on the mobile phone into an integral structure.
  • To achieve the above objective, a protecting case in accordance with the present invention comprises an upper protecting element and a lower protecting element that are both in the form of a hollow frame.
  • The upper protecting element includes a rectangular upper engaging portion around a top thereof in such a manner that a top opening of the upper protecting element is smaller than a bottom opening of the upper protecting element, adjacent to the bottom opening of the upper protecting element is annularly provided a groove around an inner periphery of the upper protecting element, the upper protecting element is engaged on a to-be-protected product through the bottom opening of the upper protecting element in such a manner that the upper engaging portion of the upper protecting element is closely fitted on a top outer periphery of the to-be-protected product.
  • The lower protecting element includes a rectangular lower engaging portion around a bottom thereof in such a manner that a bottom opening of the lower protecting element is smaller than a top opening of the lower protecting element, adjacent to the top opening of the lower protecting element is annularly provided a rib protruding from an outer periphery of the lower protecting element. The lower protecting element is engaged at a bottom of the to-be-protected product through the top opening of the lower protecting element in such a manner that the lower engaging portion of the lower protecting element is engaged on a bottom outer periphery of the to-be-protected product while the rib is engaged into the groove of the upper protecting element.
  • The upper engaging portion of the upper protecting element is formed with a stepped frame body around the top thereof, and the frame body has an arc surface to be fitted on an arc surface formed on a top circumference of an upper portion of the to-be-protected product.
  • The whole lower protecting element is located at the lower portion of the to-be-protected product for fitting on the lower portion of the to-be-protected product.
  • Alternatively, the bottom opening of the lower protecting element is formed as a closed solid structure.
  • The upper and the lower protecting elements of the protecting case are made of hard rubber or metal, and the upper protecting element is further formed with at least one key hole to be aligned with keys on the to-be-protected product.
  • A top outer edge of the upper protecting element takes the form of a chamfered edge, a right-angle edge or a rounded edge.
  • A bottom outer edge of the upper protecting element takes the form of a chambered edge, a right-angle edge or a rounded edge.
  • Besides the side edges and the angles of the to-be-protected product, the protecting case of the present invention can also protect the whole bottom surface of the to-be-protected product. Furthermore, other uncovered portion can also be protected by the upper protecting element and the lower protecting element against damage, scratch or wear. The upper protecting element is formed with the key holes to be aligned with the keys on the to-be-protected product, increasing the use convenience. Since the upper and the lower protecting elements are made of the hard rubber or metal, the protecting case may not affect the normal use of the to-be-protected product and make the protected product have the same hand feel as the product which is not protected by the protecting case, increasing convenience in use.
