Electronics device case

Abstract

A case for protecting and storing a preselected electronics device includes a flexible fabric material body and a strip of fabric extending from a portion of the body. The strip of fabric has an open and an inverted closed position. The body and strip of fabric in the closed position are together configured to envelope and tightly fit contours of the preselected electronics device.

         2 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible fabric material of the body is selected the group consisting of neoprene (polychloroprene), spandex (elastane), nylon, polyester fabric, rayon, olefin fiber, other petrochemical based fibrous materials, other seamable synthetic rubbers, and blends and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the strip of fabric extending from the back of the body is a separately attached material sewn onto the body as a separate panel. 
     
     
         4 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the strip of fabric extending from the back of the body is an extension of the fabric of the back of the body. 
     
     
         5 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the flexible fabric material body is made of a continuous cut of fabric. 
     
     
         6 . The case of  claim 5 , wherein the flexible fabric material body and the strip of fabric are both made of a continuous cut of fabric. 
     
     
         7 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first side or the second side includes two seams extending the length thereof, one seam located at the interface between the side and the back and the other seam located at the interface between the side and the front. 
     
     
         8 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the strip of fabric is seamed into a length of each of the first seam and the second seam. 
     
     
         9 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the preselected electronics device is selected from an portable media players, portable media receivers, cameras, personal digital assistants, cellular phones, global positioning systems, web browsers, Dictaphones, digital games, video game remotes, cordless phones, and hybrids and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the body and strip of fabric in the closed position are together configured to tightly fit substantially all contours of the preselected electronics device. 
     
     
         11 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the feature is a projection, button, keypad, screen, or jack of the preselected electronics device. 
     
     
         12 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the cloth is a microfiber cloth. 
     
     
         13 . The case of  claim 1 , wherein the case is substantially free of releasable attachments. 
     
     
         14 . A case for protecting and storing a rhombical camera, comprising:
 a thin polychloroprene body of a continuous cut, said body having a front, a back, a first side including a first seam extending the length thereof, a second side including a second seam extending the length thereof, a top, and an opening along a bottom;   a strip of the continuous cut of polychloroprene of the body, said strip extending from the back of the body near the opening and seamed into a length of each of the first seam and the second seam, said strip having an open position where the entirety of the strip rests substantially flush with a portion of the back of the body, and a closed position where the strip is inverted and covers the opening and is substantially flush with a portion of the front of the body;   an aperture in the body of the case configured to be centered over an attached carrying strap, and allowing for a carrying strap attached to the rhombical camera to extend there through; and   a microfiber cloth permanently attached to an interior surface of the front of the case and configured for removal of a majority of the cloth from an internal cavity of the case and further configured to substantially cover and rest against a viewing screen of the camera when enclosed in the case,   wherein the body and the strip in the closed position are together configured to envelope and tightly fit substantially all contours of the camera.   
     
     
         15 . A case for protecting and storing an audio player, comprising:
 a polychloroprene body having a front, a back, a first side including at least a first seam extending the length thereof, a second side including at least a second seam extending the length thereof, a top, and an opening along a bottom, wherein the body further includes at least one aperture centered over at least one of a power jack and an audio jack; and   a polychloroprene strip for closing the opening, said strip extending from the back of the body near the opening and seamed into a length of each of the first seam and the second seam, said strip having an open position where the entirety of the strip rests substantially flush with a portion of the back of the body, and a closed position where the strip is inverted and covers the opening and is substantially flush with a portion of the front of the body,   wherein the body and strip in the closed position are together configured to envelope and tightly fit contours of the audio player.   
     
     
         16 . A method of protecting an electronic device, comprising:
 inverting the strip of fabric of the case of  claim 16  from the closed position to the open position;   inserting the electronic device into the case;   inverting the strip of fabric of the case of  claim 16  from the open position to the closed position thereby enveloping and tightly fitting the contours of the electronics device.
