Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of…

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 inner shell component of the case separately for clarity of disclosure;

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

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

FIG. 12 is a rear perspective view showing the outer frame component of the case separately 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 electronic communications device, in which the claimed design is embodied, has an inner shell component, and an outer frame component, the claim is directed to the overall 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 broken lines throughout the drawing figures depict portions of the case for electronic communications device that form no part of the claimed design. Except for the interior button region and the interior edges of the various openings which are shown in solid lines, the unshaded interior surface that is delineated by a broken line in FIGS. 1, 9, and 13 forms no part of the claimed design.
