Combination case for providing a versatile protective case for a handheld
device, such as a PDA. The combination case has a rigid inner shell that
attaches to an outer shell with a mounting plate. The handheld device is
inserted into the rigid inner shell, which is then attached to the rear
panel of the outer shell. The rigid inner shell is a three-sided shell
that holds the handheld device and allows free access to the LCD display
and operational components on the device when the outer shell is open. A
soft inner shell may be used instead of the rigid inner shell. This soft
inner shell attaches to the outer shell with the mounting plate and
provides a water-resistant enclosure for the device.
