Improvements in or relating to cases

摘要

A case for a portable electronic device such as a mobile telephone or portable computer comprises a trough component having a base and circumferentially extending side walls 4 adapted to enclose the portable electronic device while leaving a surface of the device exposed. The trough is formed with a transverse flexible hinge 5 which divides the trough component into two sections, whereby the first section 2 can be displaced to allow insertion of the device into the second section 3 whereupon the first section can be placed around the portable electronic device to hold it securely within the case. The trough shaped component may be manufactured from two relatively hard sections overmoulded with a flexible material so that the flexible material provides the flexible hinge 5 between the two sections.
