Claim:
1. A mountable case system for an electronic device, comprising: a case configured to be selectively connectable to the electronic device and to retain the electronic device within an interior space of the case, the case comprising a rear portion that is positioned along a rear surface of the electronic device and a side portion extending from the rear portion and being positioned along a side surface of the electronic device, wherein the side portion of the case comprises is positioned along at least a portion of a top, bottom, left and right sides of the electronic device; wherein the rear portion of the case comprises an attachment region defining an opening having a periphery, wherein the periphery of the opening defines at least a first pair of case tabs and a second pair of case tabs, wherein each of the first pair of case tabs and each of the second pair of case tabs are circumferentially opposed from one another, and wherein the first pair of case tabs and the second pair of case tabs lie within a same first plane; wherein the periphery further defines a first pair of access spaces adjacent the first pair of case tabs and a second pair of access spaces adjacent the second pair of case tabs; a mount configured to interlock with the attachment region of the case, the mount comprising a mounting base and an interlocking member, the interlocking member comprising a first pair of mount tabs and a second pair of mount tabs, wherein each of the first pair of mount tabs and each of the second pair of mount tabs are circumferentially opposed from one another, and wherein the first pair of mount tabs and the second pair of mount tabs lie within a same second plane; wherein the mount further comprises a first pair of projections and a second pair of projections, the first pair of projections and the second pair of projections being circumferentially offset from the first pair of mount tabs and the second pair of mount tabs; wherein, in use, the first pair of mount tabs and the second pair of mount tabs are passed through the first pair of access spaces and the second pair of access spaces of the case and wherein, upon relative rotation between the case and the mount to an interlocking position, the first pair of mount tabs and the second pair of mount tabs engage the first pair of case tabs and the second pair of case tabs to selectively interlock the case with the mount and the first pair of projections and the second pair of projections are aligned with the first pair of access spaces and the second pair of access spaces.
