Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] FIG. 1 shows the side view of the phone with the cover. This cover, unlike other covers, does not have a separate projection in the form of a clip at the back for the user to insert it in his belt. This cover is very thin in itself and it has a piece of plastic welded at the back which cannot be observed if looked at, casually but is visible when minutely looked at. This plastic acts as a clip for the users to fasten the mobile phone on to their belts very easily. The cover does not spoil the aesthetics of the cell phone like the other covers as it is neither bulky nor big, but fits snugly on to the mobile phone and tightly holds it, at the same time, the mobile phone is very convenient to use with the cover on, as is evident from the drawing and the user can very easily hold the phone in his hands without feeling the heaviness which is generally associated with the covers available in the market.

[0020] FIG. 2 shows the side view of the phone with the cover on. The slit, as can be seen at the back, is the place from where the cell phone is inserted into the belt of the user and the slit is formed as separate piece of the plastic is welded on to the cover by ultrasonic welding on to the cover's backside which provides stability and strength to the welded plastic chip which acts as a clip for the cover to hold the mobile phone.

[0021] FIG. 3 shows the clip when it is opened slightly in order to show that the clip can be expanded so as to fit on a belt of certain thickness, and when the clip is released, it snaps back into place, tightly holding the cell phone.

[0022] FIG. 4 shows the mounting of the cell phone on to the belt. The clip at the back is opened slightly so that the cover, along with the cell phone fits tightly on to the belt and then the clip is released, so that the cell phone or media player or other mobile deice is fixed tightly on to the belt or waist of the user.
