CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001] This Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/811,158, filedon Apr. 12, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002] The invention relates generally to smartphone accessories, and specifically to anergonomic case for a smartphone. Persons who use smartphones, such as the iPhone andBlackBerry, often find that the smartphone will easily slip out of their hands while using it.
A smooth finish on the smartphone case is popular among both users and manufacturers,
exacerbating the problem. Aside from the inconvenience of having a phone call or data
download interrupted, there is a substantial risk that the smartphone will be damaged,
destroyed, or lost when dropped. A case with finger indentations strategically placedaround the edge, in an ergonomic manner, will provide a firm grip, and resolve thisproblem.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003] Accordingly, the invention is directed to an ergonomic case for a smartphone. The
case features contoured finger grips at appropriate locations around the outside surface, ina pattern that provides a comfortable and ergonomic grip for a hand. Specifically, three orfour finger indentations are provided in the position of use in voice calling mode. The finger
indentations may be located on either side, depending on whether the particularembodiment is intended for right or left handed users. An additional thumb indentation
may optionally be provided on the opposite side. The finger indentations and thumbindentations are used to hold the smartphone, to provide a more comfortable and secure
grip for the fingers, and may include ridges or another high-friction surface in theindentations.
