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 top frame component of the case in isolation;

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

FIG. 11 is a front perspective view showing the middle shell component of the case in isolation;

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

FIG. 13 is another rear perspective view showing the middle shell component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 14 is a front perspective view showing the bottom frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 15 is a rear perspective view showing the bottom frame component of the case in isolation;

FIG. 16 is an exploded front perspective view showing the components of the case separated for clarity of disclosure;

FIG. 18 is an enlarged detail view of the encircled region of FIG. 1; and

FIG. 19 is an enlarged detail view of the encircled region of FIG. 12.

Although the case for electronic communications device in which the claimed design is embodied comprises a top frame component, a bottom frame component, and a middle shell component, the claim is directed to the ornamental appearance of the case in its entirety and does not extend to the ornamental appearance of each of the individual components in isolation.

The dash-dot broken line circle in FIGS. 1 and 12 delineates a portion of the case that is part of the claimed design and that is shown on an enlarged scale respectively in FIGS. 18 and 19. The dashed broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of the case that form no part of the claimed design.

Claims

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