Case for electronic communications device

Description

FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a case for electronic communications device showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a rear perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 9 is a front perspective view showing the front outer frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 10 is a rear perspective view showing the front outer frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 11 is a front perspective view showing the rear outer frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view showing the rear outer frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 13 is a front perspective view showing the inner shell component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 14 is a rear perspective view showing the inner shell component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 15 is a front perspective view showing the emblem bar component of the case in isolation on an enlarged scale for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 16 is a rear perspective view showing the emblem bar component of the case in isolation on an enlarged scale for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 17 is an exploded front perspective view showing the components of the case separated; and

FIG. 18 is an exploded rear perspective view showing the components of the case separated; and,

FIG. 19 is an enlarged detail view of the encircled region in FIG. 1; the surface characteristics of the side button shown in this view are also representative of the surface characteristics of the buttons on the opposite side of the case.

For clarity of disclosure, the components of the case are shown in isolation in FIGS. 9-16 and separated in FIGS. 17-18. Although the case for electronic communications device, in which the claimed design is embodied, consists of an inner shell component, a front outer frame component, a rear outer frame component, and an emblem bar component, the claim is directed to the overall ornamental appearance of the case for electronic communications device in its entirety and does not extend to the ornamental appearance of each of the individual components.

The dot-dash broken line circle in FIGS. 1 and 19 delineates a portion of the case for electronic communications device that is part of the claimed design and that is shown on an enlarged scale in FIG. 19. The dashed broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of the case for electronic communications device that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines, regions bounded by dashed broken lines, and the interior of the case (except for the interior edges of the emblem bar and emblem bar opening) shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 13, and 17 form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

CLAIM The ornamental design for a case for electronic communications device, as shown and described.
