[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a camera case for protecting a so-called disposable camera.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 So-called disposable cameras are convenient when you want to take a picture suddenly while traveling. Since the film is already filled in the plastic case of this camera, there is no need to fill the film when shooting, and it is possible to shoot easily, and the film is used for development and printing after shooting. There is no need to take out the work.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, unlike a normal camera, this disposable camera does not have a protective case, so if it is dropped on the ground, the lens may break due to the impact, rendering it useless. In addition, the outer casing of the disposable camera is made of paper, and although the outer casing is waterproof to some extent, there is also the inconvenience that the outer casing of the camera will wobble when exposed to direct rain. In addition, because the appearance of disposable cameras is common among manufacturers, it cannot be differentiated from other people who have disposable cameras from the same manufacturer, making it unattractive for children and the like. Furthermore, since the disposable camera is not provided with a string, it has to be carried in a pocket or a bag for carrying, which is inconvenient to carry.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a camera case capable of protecting a so-called disposable camera.
