Claim Text:
1. A case construction for encasing an electronic device and enabling a user to rotatably and linearly displace the electronic device relative to a select surface of the case construction, the case construction comprising, in combination: a case, the case comprising a cradle-receiving surface; a cradle sized and shaped to removably receive an electronic device, the cradle comprising a centralized region and at least one adjustable device-engaging arm extending away from the centralized region, the centralized region comprising an oblong aperture, the oblong aperture comprising a longitudinal axis, a lateral axis, longitudinally opposed termini, and laterally opposed parallel sides, the longitudinal axis comprising opposed foci, the foci being joined by a line segment, the foci and line segment together defining a cradle displacement zone segment; and cradle-to-surface securing means for securing the cradle to the cradle-receiving surface, the cradle-to-surface securing means being attached to the cradle-receiving surface and being cooperable with the oblong aperture for enabling a user to linearly and rotatably displace the centralized region along the cradle displacement zone segment, the cradle-to-surface securing means comprising a disk assembly, the disk assembly comprising a surface-attachment disk, a cradle-engagement disk, and spacer-attachment means for attaching the surface attachment disk to the cradle-engagement disk in parallel relation, the oblong aperture comprising a cradle-guide flange, the cradle-guide flange extending inwardly intermediate the cradle-engagement disk and the surface-attachment disk for guiding the centralized region when being displaced along the cradle displacement zone segment, the centralized region comprising a device-opposing surface, the cradle-engagement disk comprising an upper disk surface, the cradle-guide flange being parallel to the device-opposing and entire upper disk surfaces for rendering flush the device-opposing and entire upper disk surfaces, the oblong aperture and cradle-engagement disk comprising cooperable locking means for selectively locking the centralized region in a select rotative position, the cooperable locking means comprising a series of peripherally spaced male and female structures, the peripherally spaced male and female structures extending radially inwardly relative to a center of the cradle engagement disk when selectively locked, the at least one adjustable device-engaging arm being adjustable for engaging variously sized electronic devices.
