Abstract

A sleeve structure for a hand-held electronic device is assembled by a hard back cover and a soft plastic collar to enclose a hand-held electronic device, especially a tablet personal computer or a mobile phone. The hard back cover is made by Arcly and an entire surface manifests a pattern of diamonds to facilitate holding by a hand and increase fanciness and brightness. An inner surface of the back cover can be glued and attached with a laser reflection sticker which is printed with a pattern or can be processed with electroplating, depending on a shape design of the tablet personal computer or the mobile phone, thereby achieving fanciness and brightness. In addition, the soft plastic collar to enclose peripheries can prevent from scratching.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a sleeve structure for a hand-held electronic device, and more particularly to a sleeve which is connected by an Arcly back cover, an entire surface of which manifests a diamond shape, and a soft plastic collar, a surface of which is provided with round embosses, wherein an inner surface of the Arcly back cover is attached with a laser reflection sticker which is printed with a color transparent pattern or is processed with electroplating, allowing the back cover to be fancy and shiny. In addition, an inner surface of the soft plastic collar is also attached with a laser reflection sticker which is printed with a color transparent pattern, such that the soft plastic collar can be consistent with the back cover.
b) Description of the Prior Art
As development of technologies, a hand-held electronic device, especially a tablet personal computer or a mobile phone, is getting thinner and thinner. To facilitate hand-held operating and avoid scratching an outer casing, a user will usually provide a soft plastic sleeve. Although there are many kinds of colors for the existing soft plastic sleeves, their appearances do not change much and are lack of novelty.
Moreover, for a diamond ornament sold in an existing market, the diamonds must be glued and attached one by one, which includes a tedious manual operation and therefore is provided with an extremely high cost. On the other hand, a single diamond that is glued and attached manually can be easily unglued and thus its yield is not high. Whereas, the diamonds of the diamond back cover of the present invention are glued only once and therefore will never be unglued.
Furthermore, it is difficult to configure a pattern to the existing diamonds which must be attached one by one. However, for the present invention, one only needs to print a transparent color pattern on the laser reflection sticker.
Accordingly, to solve the aforementioned issues, a sleeve structure for a hand-held electronic device is created by the present inventor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a sleeve structure for a hand-held electronic device which includes primarily an Arcly diamond back cover and a soft plastic collar, wherein the back cover is snapped with the soft plastic collar to form an integrated one piece unit for use.
Another object of the present invention is to provide the sleeve structure for a hand-held electronic device, wherein an outer surface of the Arcly diamond back cover is configured as a shape of diamonds and an inner surface of the back cover is a flat surface or an arc surface, depending on the electronic product, especially a tablet personal computer or a mobile phone. For the flat back cover, the inner surface is glued with a laser reflection sticker which is printed with a color transparent pattern, whereas for the arc-shaped back cover, the inner surface is processed with electroplating, allowing the Arcly back cover to be fancy and shiny.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide the sleeve structure for a hand-held electronic device, wherein peripheries of the sleeve are enclosed by the soft plastic collar to facilitate putting in or taking out an enclosed object. An outer surface of the soft plastic collar is provided with plural embosses, which can increase brightness and is also able to facilitate holding with a hand. An inner surface of the soft plastic collar is also attached with a laser reflection sticker which is printed with a color transparent pattern that the soft plastic collar can be consistent with the back cover.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
