Claim Text:
1. A cradle-cassette combination for encasing and selectively displaying an electronic device, the cradle-cassette combination comprising: a cradle construction, the cradle construction being sized and shaped to removably receive an electronic device, the cradle construction comprising an anterior cradle section, anterior cradle surfacing, a posterior cradle section, posterior cradle surfacing, a superior cradle section, an inferior cradle section, laterally-opposed lateral cradle sections, and a hinge axis of rotation, the lateral cradle sections each comprising hinge axis-enabling posts adjacent the superior cradle section, the hinge axis-enabling posts extending laterally and being coaxial; and a cassette construction, the cassette construction being sized and shaped to translatably receive the cradle construction, the cassette construction comprising an anterior cassette section, anterior cassette surfacing, a posterior cassette section, posterior cassette surfacing, a superior cassette section, an inferior cassette section, and laterally-opposed lateral cassette sections, the laterally-opposed lateral cassette sections each comprising a primary groove-defining flange, the primary groove-defining flanges extending medially for defining laterally-opposed posterior grooves and laterally-opposed anterior grooves; the hinge axis-enabling posts being translatably received at the laterally-opposed lateral cassette sections within the anterior grooves, the cradle construction thus being translatably displaceable relative to the cassette construction for selectively positioning said cradle-cassette combination intermediate a cradle-closed configuration and a cradle-exposed configuration, the cradle construction being rotatable about the hinge axis of rotation via the hinge axis-enabling posts when said posts are positioned at the superior cassette section, the cradle construction thereby being rotatably positionable intermediate the cradle-closed configuration and the cradle-exposed configuration, the anterior cradle surfacing and anterior cassette surfacing facing in the same direction when in the cradle-exposed configuration, the anterior cradle surfacing and anterior cassette surfacing facing in opposite directions when in the cradle-closed configuration.
