Abstract
The protective case according to the present invention is configured to enclose a rear surface, a side surface, and a front surface of a mobile terminal, and includes an inner member formed of a hard material made of plastic or metal to form a basic skeleton of the protective case, And an outer member configured to surround the inner member in the form of a thin film. Wherein the outer member is configured to surround the inner member without a separate adhesive layer. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner member may be formed of POLYCARBONATE. The outer member of the present invention may have a through hole, and a part of the inner member may be exposed to the outside through the through hole. At this time, the inner member and the outer member are formed in different colors so that a new aesthetic effect can be added through the combination of colors of the inner member and the outer member. The outer member and the inner member of the present invention may be formed of a thin thickness (e.g., an outer member having a thickness of 0.5 mm or less and an inner member having a thickness of 1 mm or less).
Description
The present invention relates to a protective case for a mobile terminal, and more particularly, to a protective case for a mobile terminal, in which an inner member formed of a hard material having a predetermined rigidity is coated with an outer member made of a soft silicone material, To a protective case for a mobile terminal, which is configured to protect a user's body while protecting the user's body with an aesthetic effect.
Generally, a mobile terminal is a personal terminal configured to be able to communicate with another user while online, access online, watch video or broadcast, and the like. The mobile terminal corresponds to a mobile phone, a PDA, or a tablet PC.
In addition to basic communication functions, these mobile terminals are now being introduced as high-priced products due to the addition of a large number of additional functions such as a media player, a digital camera, and a digital storage device and a large-sized touch screen. It is desirable to stably protect the appearance of the terminal from surface scratches or external impacts for clean use.
Accordingly, various protective cases for protecting the appearance of the mobile terminal have been manufactured and sold. Such a protective case can be divided into a so-called hard case made of a hard material (e.g., plastic or metal) and a so-called soft case made of a soft material (e.g., synthetic resin or silicone).
Since the hard material used for the hard case has a predetermined rigidity, the material can have sufficient shape retention even if it is made to have a small thickness. Therefore, the hard case can be manufactured to be thin enough not to damage the slim shape of the terminal, thereby providing aesthetic satisfaction to the user. However, since the hard material used in the hard case does not have sufficient shock absorbability, the case itself and the terminals mounted in the case can not be faithfully protected from external impacts. For example, if a terminal with a plastic hard case is dropped on the floor, the hard plastic case may easily break, and the appearance or internal parts of the terminal mounted inside the terminal may be damaged. Furthermore, since materials such as plastic or aluminum used in the hard case generally have a smooth surface, the possibility of sliding in the user's hand is relatively high, and the possibility that the terminal and the case are damaged by an external impact is further increased.
On the other hand, soft material such as synthetic resin or silicone used for the soft case has a certain degree of shock absorbing ability, so that the terminal can be stably protected against external impact as compared with the hard case. Further, the material such as silicone is less likely to slip off the terminal from the hand because the surface of the material does not slide smoothly compared to plastic materials used in the hard case. However, since the soft material used for the soft case is not high in the rigidity of the material itself, if the case is formed with a thin thickness, the shape can not be maintained and the case must be formed to have a large thickness. This thick thickness damages the slim appearance of the terminal and deteriorates the aesthetics. Therefore, there is a problem that the latest trend that requires a slim appearance design is not satisfied.
As described above, conventional conventional protection cases are insufficient to meet the expectation of the consumer who intends to prevent damage to the terminal while not degrading the slim appearance of the terminal.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a new protection case that can solve the above-described problems of the related art and can reduce the possibility of damaging a terminal while maintaining aesthetic feel without damaging the slim appearance of the terminal.
A typical configuration of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is as follows.
The protective case according to the present invention is configured to enclose a rear surface, a side surface, and a front surface of a mobile terminal, and includes an inner member formed of a hard material made of plastic or metal to form a basic skeleton of the protective case, And an outer member configured to surround the inner member in the form of a thin film. Wherein the outer member is configured to surround the inner member without a separate adhesive layer.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner member may be formed of POLYCARBONATE.
The outer member of the present invention may have a through hole, and a part of the inner member may be exposed to the outside through the through hole. At this time, the inner member and the outer member are formed in different colors so that a new aesthetic effect can be added through the combination of colors of the inner member and the outer member.
The outer member and the inner member of the present invention are preferably formed to have a small thickness. For example, the outer member may be formed to a thickness of 0.5 mm or less, and the inner member may be formed to a thickness of 1 mm or less.
In addition, the protective case for a mobile terminal according to the present invention may further include other additional configurations as long as the technical idea of the present invention is not adversely affected.
The protective case according to the present invention can provide the following effects.
Since the inner member is formed of a hard material having a predetermined stiffness such as polycarbonate to form the basic skeleton of the protective case, the protective case can be formed in a thin thickness. Further, since the outer member formed of a soft silicon material is coated in the form of a thin film on the inner member thus formed, a protective case having a silicon outer surface can be formed with only a thin silicon layer. That is, it is possible to form a protective case having a silicon outer surface even in a very slim form compared with conventional silicon protective cases.
Further, the present invention can provide a good grip to the users due to the soft touch of the silicon material forming the outer surface of the protective case.
Further, since the soft silicone material has a surface characteristic that does not slip more easily than a hard case material such as plastic or aluminum, the use of the protective case of the present invention reduces the possibility of dropping the terminal from the user, Can be reduced.
In addition, the non-slip properties of the silicone member can further facilitate temporary storage of the terminal. For example, when the protective case of the present invention is used, the terminal can be stably maintained without slipping even when the terminal is placed on the dashboard of the vehicle in operation.
Since the present invention is made up of two different members (an inner member and an outer member), the aesthetics of the case can be further improved through the combination of two different members. For example, in the protective case of the present invention, a through hole is formed in the outer member so that the inner member is partially exposed, so that various designs can be formed through the combination of colors of the inner member and the outer member.
