Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case for a mobile phone, which has a function of protecting the mobile phone, can be used with a soft touch and a good grip and can be improved in usability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called mobile phones, which are cordless and can be freely carried, have become widespread. Such a mobile phone is usually stored in a special case when it is not used and is stored in a bag or the like.

[0003]

However, the case is mainly intended to store and store the mobile phone, and it is generally not intended to use the mobile phone while being stored in the case. In many cases, the user directly holds the mobile phone to operate and call.

By the way, since the mobile phone is provided with a hard outer case made of synthetic resin or the like, the grip feeling is not necessarily good because it does not fit the hand, and sometimes the hand is slipped to drop the mobile phone. , It tended to give the gripper a cold feel, impairing usability.

Further, the case for accommodating the mobile phone is provided with an opening for exposing the display portion and the operating portion of the mobile phone, so that the case can be used while the mobile phone is accommodated even when the mobile phone is used. There are some cases, but since such cases are conventionally made of synthetic resin such as thin vinyl, they do not improve the grip feeling and the feeling when grasped, and the cell phone is dropped. You can't expect the effect of softening the shock.

Further, since the color of mobile phones and cases is often a single color such as gray, and the external appearance has a cuboid monotonous appearance, the design tends to be poor.

The present invention is based on the fact that the case body provided with the opening for operating the mobile phone is made of a foam material having cushioning properties, and the mobile phone is soft and warm while being housed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a case for a mobile phone which can be fitted to the hand with a feeling of touch and can be used with a good grip feeling, which can improve the usability and which can improve the impact resistance in the case of a drop or the like.

[0008]

There is.

It is desirable that the case body be a laminated body in which layered bodies made of foam materials of different colors are integrally fixed.

[0010]

The case body, which is provided with an opening for exposing the display section and the operation section of the mobile phone housed in the housing section, is formed of a foam material having cushioning properties, and faces both side surfaces of the case body. It is recessed in the direction. Therefore,
The mobile phone can be used while being stored in the storage part of the case for the mobile phone, and the case body can be grasped with a soft and warm feeling by the foam material having a cushioning property used for the case body. Coupled with the fact that both sides that are the grips of the main body are recessed, the fit to the hand is increased, the grip performance is improved, the risk of falling etc. is reduced, and the usability can be improved.

In addition, by denting both side surfaces of the case body, it is also useful for molding a new appearance design, and the designability can be improved, and the foamed material having the cushioning property makes it possible to carry it around. Impact resistance against a drop or the like of a telephone can be increased.

Further, when the case main body is made of a laminated body in which layered bodies made of foam materials of different colors are integrally fixed, the design can be further enhanced by the change of color, and the appearance is excellent for mobile phones. A case can be provided.

The "foaming material having cushioning properties" is, for example, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA. Co., Ltd.) manufactured by Taisei Co., Ltd. (head office address: 5-2-1 Kawanishi-dori, Nagata-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture).
