Description



FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a case for smart phone 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 inner shell component of the case shown separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 10 is a rear perspective view showing the inner shell component of the case shown separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 11 is a front perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case shown separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case shown separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 13 is an exploded front perspective view showing the components of the case separated for clarity of disclosure; and,

FIG. 14 is an exploded rear perspective view showing the components of the case separated for clarity of disclosure.

Although the case for smart phone in which the claimed design is embodied consists of an inner shell and an outer frame, the claim is directed to the ornamental appearance of the case for smart phone in its entirety and does not extend to the ornamental appearance of each of the individual components of the case for smart phone in isolation.

The broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of the case for smart phone that form no part of the claimed design. The broken lines and regions bounded by broken lines form no part of the claimed design.
