Electronic case assembly

An electronic case assembly includes a case that may contain an electronic device thereby facilitating the electronic device to be manipulated. A pair of magnets is each coupled to the case to magnetically engage a magnetic support surface. In this way the case is selectively retained on the magnetic support surface. A finger loop is pivotally coupled to the case. The finger loop is selectively positioned in a first position to insertably receive a finger thereby inhibiting the case from being dropped. The finger loop is selectively positioned in a second position to abut a support surface. In this way the case is reclined on the support surface for viewing the electronic device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure and prior art relates to case devices and more particularly pertains to a new case device for enhancing gripping an electronic device.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a case that may contain an electronic device thereby facilitating the electronic device to be manipulated. A pair of magnets is each coupled to the case to magnetically engage a magnetic support surface. In this way the case is selectively retained on the magnetic support surface. A finger loop is pivotally coupled to the case. The finger loop is selectively positioned in a first position to insertably receive a finger thereby inhibiting the case from being dropped. The finger loop is selectively positioned in a second position to abut a support surface. In this way the case is reclined on the support surface for viewing the electronic device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 5, the electronic case assembly10generally comprises a case12that may contain an electronic device thereby facilitating the electronic device to be manipulated. The electronic device may be a smartphone, a tablet and any other electronic device that has an electronic display. The case12has a basal wall14and a perimeter wall16extending away from the basal wall14. The perimeter wall16may have a plurality of openings and each of the openings may facilitate access to controls on the electronic device. Moreover, the case12may be a smart phone case of any conventional design.

The basal wall14has a first surface18and a second surface20and the electronic device abuts the second surface20when the electronic device is positioned in the case12. The perimeter wall16has a top side22, a bottom side24, a first lateral side26and a second lateral side28. The first surface18has a well30extending toward the second surface20and the well30is centrally positioned between the top side22and the bottom side24. The well30is elongated to extend substantially between the first lateral side26and the second lateral side28and the well30has a lower bounding surface32.

A pair of magnets34is each coupled to the case12to magnetically engage a magnetic support surface. Each of the magnets34has an exposed surface36. Moreover, each of the magnets34is recessed into the first surface18of the basal wall14having the exposed surface36corresponding to each of the magnets34being aligned with the first surface18. The exposed surface36magnetically engages the magnetic support surface.

A finger loop38is pivotally coupled to the case12. The finger loop38is selectively positioned in a first position to insertably receive a finger. In this way the finger loop38inhibiting the case12from being dropped when the finger is extended through the finger loop38. The finger loop38is selectively positioned in a second position. Moreover, the finger loop38abuts a support surface40thereby standing the case12on the support surface40for viewing the electronic device when the finger loop is positioned in the second position.

The finger loop38has an outside surface42and the outside surface42is continuous such that the finger loop38forms a closed loop. The outside surface42has a flattened portion44. Additionally, the finger loop38is positioned in the well30when the finger loop38is positioned in a stored position. The flattened portion44of the finger loop38is directed toward a selected one of the first lateral side26and the second lateral side28of the case12when the finger loop38is positioned in the stored position. The finger loop38is oriented perpendicular to a plane lying on the first surface18when the finger loop38is positioned in the first position. Thus, the finger may be extended through the finger loop38when the case12is gripped.

The finger loop38is oriented to form an acute inside angle with the plane when the finger loop38is positioned in the second position. The case12is positioned on the support surface40such that each of the flattened portion44and the first lateral side26of the case12abuts the support surface40. In this way the case12is reclined in a landscape orientation for viewing the electronic device. The support surface40may be a table top or the like.

A pin46is rotatably coupled to and extends away from the case12. The finger loop38is pivotally coupled to the pin46such. In this way the finger loop38is selectively positionable between the first, second and stored positions. The pin46is positioned on the lower bounding surface32of the well30and the pin46is centrally positioned in the well30.

In use, the electronic device is positioned in the case12to protect the electronic device from impact damage. The finger loop38is selectively positioned in the first position thereby facilitating a finger to be extended through the finger loop38when the case12is gripped. In this way the finger loop38inhibits the case12from being dropped. The finger loop38is selectively positioned in the second position to retain the case12in a landscape orientation on the support surface40. In this way the electronic device is positioned for viewing. The finger loop38is selectively positioned in the stored position and the case12is selectively positioned against a magnetic support surface40. The magnets34magnetically engage the magnetic support surface40to retain the case12on the magnetic support surface40.
