Claim 7:
8. A case system for a portable electronic device, the case system comprising:
(I) a first assembly including
(A) a first side wall,
(B) a second side wall extending perpendicular with respect to the first side wall,
(C) a third side wall extending perpendicular with respect to the first side wall, and
(D) a base perpendicularly extending from the first side wall, the base perpendicularly extending a first width between the second side wall and the third side wall,
wherein the base includes a side edge extending the first width between the second side wall and the third side wall and extending parallel with respect to the first side wall,
wherein the side edge includes a first portion having a first end and a second end with a dimension therebetween at least one-quarter of the first width,
wherein the side edge includes a second portion having a first end and a second end with a dimension therebetween at least one-quarter of the first width,
wherein the side edge includes a third portion located between the first portion and the second portion, the third portion having a first end and a second end with a dimension therebetween at least one-quarter of the first width,
(E) a tab member extending from the third portion of the side edge of the base,
wherein the tab member extends from the first end of the third portion of the side edge of the base to the second end of the third portion of the side edge of the base,
wherein the tab member includes a raised portion,
wherein the raised portion of the tab member has an exterior surface,
wherein the tab member includes a recessed portion located between the exterior surface of the raised portion and the third portion of the side edge of the base; and

(II) a second assembly including
(A) a first side wall,
(B) a second side wall extending perpendicular with respect to the first side wall,
(C) a third side wall extending perpendicular with respect to the first side wall,
(D) a base perpendicularly extending from the first side wall, the base perpendicularly extending a first width between the second side wall and the third side wall, the base having an interior surface bounded in part by the first side wall, the second side wall, and the third side wall, the base having an exterior surface, and
(E) an aperture extending from the interior surface of the base to the exterior surface of the base,
wherein the base includes a side edge extending the first width between the second side wall and the third side wall and extending parallel with respect to the first side wall,
wherein the side edge of the base includes a first portion having a first end and a second end with a dimension therebetween at least one-quarter of the first width,
wherein the side edge of the base includes a second portion having a first end and a second end with a dimension therebetween at least one-quarter of the first width,
wherein the side edge of the base includes a third portion located between the first portion and the second portion, the third portion having a first end and a second end with a dimension therebetween at least one-quarter of the first width,
wherein the interior surface of the base includes a first portion having a first level and a second portion having a second level with a sunken elevation with respect to the first level of the first portion,
wherein the second portion of the interior surface of the base extends from the first end of the third portion of the side edge of the base to the second end of the third portion of the side edge of the base to couple with the recessed portion of the tab member of the first assembly when the second assembly is coupled with the first assembly,
wherein the aperture is located between the first portion of the interior surface of the base and the second portion of the interior surface of the base to have a portion of the raised portion of the tab member extend entirely though the aperture to couple the aperture and the raised portion of the tab member of the first assembly when the second assembly is coupled with the first assembly.
