Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
  • This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0048298 filed Apr. 19, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
    • BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present disclosure relates to a foldable mobile phone case including a card storage structure, and more particularly, to a foldable mobile phone case including a structure capable of safely protecting a hinge portion of a foldable mobile phone and, at the same time, stably accommodating a plurality of cards.
    • 2. Discussion of Related Art
  • In general, mobile terminals are telecommunication terminals that may be easily used in a hand while being carried by a user, modern people carry the mobile terminals as almost essential items, and front displays of the mobile terminals are manufactured using glass substrates. The front displays are constantly damaged as the mobile terminals are dropped, and the users should spend time and money to replace the front displays.
  • Thus, cases for protecting mobile terminals such as smart phones and tablet personal computers (PCs) have appeared, and in recent years, the cases have been used not only for simple protection but also for producing various functions and designs.
  • Further, in recent years, foldable mobile terminals in which flexible displays using not glass substrates but plastic substrates are applied to displays of the mobile terminals have been developed, and the flexible displays are products which can additionally have flexibility to be folded or bent in a desired shape as well as implement the same image quality even in this case.
  • Further, the flexible displays are thin and light, are strong on impact, may be bent or folded, and thus may be manufactured in various shapes, and may be used in industrial fields in which the application of the existing glass substrate displays is limited or impossible.
  • For example, the flexible displays may be utilized in new mobile information technology (IT) product fields such as electronic books that may replace publications such as magazines, textbooks, books, and cartoons, ultra-compact PCs that may be carried while displays thereof are folded or rolled, and smart cards that may identify real-time information. In addition, since flexible plastic substrates are used, the flexible displays are products that may be extendedly applied to clothing fashion and medical diagnostic fields.
  • However, when only a foldable mobile terminal (see FIG. 1 ) having the flexible display is carried, the display may be easily damaged by pressing, scratching, or the like. Thus, a protective case is mounted only on the remaining portion except for a folded portion of the foldable mobile terminal due to foldable or bendable characteristics, but a separate case cannot be mounted on the folded portion due to deformation, and thus the folded portion cannot be protected from scratches and impacts.
  • Further, the foldable mobile terminal is mounted not to cover the entire rear surface as in a protective case of a conventional mobile terminal but covers one side of upper, lower, left, and right sides of a rear surface of a front side and a rear side except for the folded portion. Thus, the protective case may be separated while moving in either leftward or rightward direction.
  • In order to solve this problem, a mobile phone case having a structure illustrated in FIG. 2 has been developed.
  • In the case of the conventional mobile phone case illustrated in FIG. 2 , a plurality of case covers 30 are connected using a leaf spring 50 and are then mounted on an outer surface of the mobile phone.
  • The conventional mobile phone case illustrated in FIG. 2 may be detached from the mobile phone while folded or unfolded. Further, in the conventional mobile phone case illustrated in FIG. 2 , since only a structure covering the outer surface of the mobile phone is adopted, undesired impacts applied from the outside cannot be effectively absorbed, the impacts applied from the outside are transmitted to the mobile phone, and thus the mobile phone may be damaged. Further, the conventional mobile phone case illustrated in FIG. 2 has a very simple structure in which a card desired by a user cannot be accommodated.
  • Thus, a technology that can solve the above-described problems according to the related art is required.
