The disclosure relates to cellphone case devices and more particularly pertains to a new cellphone case device for providing entertainment and anxiety relief.
The prior art relates to cellphone case devices with integrated physical features.
Some existing devices incorporate tactile fidget mechanisms such as spinners and switches. These case devices, however, lack an integrated game or puzzle with an objective encased in a transparent cover.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a case body having a case front side, a case back side, a case left side, a case right side, a case top side, a case bottom side, a case inner face, and a case outer face. The case body is configured to secure a cellphone. A game enclosure is coupled to the case body. The game enclosure has an enclosure back side coupled to the case outer face on the case back side and a transparent enclosure front side coupled to the enclosure back side and defining an enclosure inside. A game is coupled within the game enclosure and comprises at least one movable game piece within the enclosure inside.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A game enclosure 38 is coupled to the case body 12. The game enclosure 38 has an enclosure back side 40 coupled to the case outer face 28 on the case back side 16 and a transparent enclosure front side 42 coupled to the enclosure back side 40 and defining an enclosure inside 44. The game enclosure 38 may occupy an entirety of the case back side 16 and may surround the camera aperture 32. The enclosure back side 40 may have a graphic 46. A game 48 is coupled within the game enclosure 38. The game 48 comprises at least one movable game piece 50 within the enclosure inside 44 that may be manipulated by the user. The game 48 may be, but is not limited to, a puzzle, a maze, a dexterity exercise, or the like. A logo 49 may be printed or etched on the enclosure front side 42 proximal the base bottom side 24.
In one embodiment of the invention shown in
In an alternative embodiment of the invention shown in
In use, the user places his or her cellphone 30 within the case body 12 for the typical protections afforded by a standard phone case. The user may then manipulate the movable game piece 50 within the game enclosure 38 for entertainment, creative expression, anxiety reduction, or dexterity exercise.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
