The housing 103 is rotatably mounted to the body 101 by a rotating shaft on the body 101. A housing space 104 is defined between the body 101 and the housing 103, thereby forming a lens chamber. The housing space 104 can be opened or closed by rotation of the housing 103. The housing 103 may also be detachably mounted to the body 101 and likewise define a receiving space 104 therebetween.

According to one example of the invention, one or more first portions 105 of the latching device are provided on the housing 103, for example: a latch portion. Accordingly, one or more second parts 106 of the locker are provided on the body 101, for example: a card slot portion. The first part 105 and the second part 106 of the locking device are matched to realize the detachable buckling between the body 101 and the shell 103, and articles in the accommodating space 104, such as

mobile phone lenses

107 and 108, can be protected.

According to one example of the present invention, the

handset lenses

107 and 108 are detachably held in a holder of the receiving space 104. According to a further example of the present invention, the

cell phone lenses

107 and 108 are held in the receiving space 104 in a magnetically attractive manner. In a more specific example, the

cell phone lenses

107 and 108 include a magnetic material and the portion 109 of the body 101 corresponding to the receiving space 104 includes a ferromagnetic metal. Thereby, a strong suction force is generated between the

cellular phone lenses

107 and 108 and the portion 109 on the body, thereby achieving holding of the cellular phone lens. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that simpler holders using snap-fit and screw-threaded holding means are equally applicable to the solution of the invention. For example, the

cell phone lens

107 or 108 is provided around the opening 110 of the cell phone case body 101, while the other portion does not have the ferromagnetic metal. Thus, the

lens

107 or 108 can be held firmly if and only if the

lens

107 or 108 happens to be located on the ferromagnetic metal ring, thereby achieving the positioning of the

lens

107 or 108 in the opening 110 of the body 101 of the handset. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a recess is provided near the opening 110 of the handset housing to assist in magnetically attracting the detent. When the

mobile phone lens
