Mobile terminal case with displaceable bezel

摘要

A case for a mobile electronic device is configured such that it is not necessary to fully separate parts of the case in order to install, remove or replace a graphic insert. The user is only required to access an interior bay to a degree sufficient to introduce or extract a graphic insert. This access is accomplished by the limited relative displacement of two distinct structural components.

主权项

1. A case for a mobile terminal comprising:
at least two functionally discrete components; at least one body component having a back section for placement along a rear face of the mobile terminal and a wall section, said wall section extending in a discontinuous direction from at least one edge of said back section, said body component being configured to at least partially surround a volume enclosing electronics of said mobile terminal; and at least one bezel component, said bezel component having a visual port through which an anticipated insert may be viewed, said body and bezel components each including mating features such that the body and bezel components can be mutually engaged, the mating features being formed and the mutual engagement being performed so that a degree of spatial displacement sufficient to introduce said anticipated insert is permitted between said body component and said bezel component while the body component and the bezel component are retained in a mated relationship with the bezel component being located adjacent the back surface of the at least one body component.
