BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    1. Technical Field 
         [0002]    The disclosure relates to mobile phones and, specifically, to a mobile phone cover having a large screen area. 
         [0003]    2. Description of Related Art 
         [0004]    Various mobile phones have been developed based on the trend of miniaturization while having larger screens. Generally, a mobile phone cover includes a frame and a screen surrounded by the frame and used for receiving a liquid crystal display screen. The frame must be wide enough to receive a retainer used to fix a receiver on the frame, accommodate the electronics of the mobile phone, and a large screen. 
         [0005]    Therefore, it is desirable to provide a mobile phone cover having a large screen area and a thin frame.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS 
       [0010]    Referring to  FIG. 1  and  FIG. 3 , a mobile phone cover used in a mobile phone comprises a frame  12 , a screen area  14  surrounded by the frame  12 , and a holder  16  used for fixing an electronic element  30 , such as a receiver. The holder  16  is fixed on the frame  12  and extends over the screen area  14 . The holder  16  includes a connecting part  162  fixed on an inner surface of the frame  12  and a free part  164  extending from the connecting part  162  over the screen area  14 . The free part  164  makes up large portion of the holder  16 . Since the connecting part  162  is fixed to the frame  12  and makes up a small portion of the holder, the portion of the frame  12  connected to the holder  16  can be designed very thin to obtain a large screen area  14 . The holder  16  is sized to receive the electronic elements  30  securely in a tight fit, so that no fasteners, such as screws, are required. 
         [0011]    In one embodiment, the holder  16  is integrally formed on the frame  12 , requiring no independent production or additional installation, therefore, production costs are greatly reduced. 
         [0012]    Referring to  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 4 , the free part  164  has a surface  1640  facing the screen area  14 . A wedge-shaped gap is defined between the surface  1640  and the screen area  14 . The surface  1640  comprises a connecting end  1642  and a free end  1644  opposite to the connecting end  1642 . The connecting end  1642  is contiguous with the connecting part  162 . A distance between the connecting end  1642  and the screen area  14  is less than a distance between the free end  1644  and the screen area  14 . In this embodiment, the surface  1640  is planar, and an angle is defined between the free part  164  and the screen area  14 . In this embodiment, the angle is larger than 5 degrees. 
         [0013]    One end of a lens  20  is inserted into the wedge-shaped gap from the free end  1644  along the surface  1640 , and installed in the screen area  14 . The angle between the end surface  1640  and the screen area is designed for installing the lens  20  easily and rapidly. 
         [0014]    While various embodiments have been described, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only and not by way of limitation. The breadth and scope of the disclosure should not be limited by the described exemplary embodiments, but only in accordance with the following claims and their equivalents.
