ABSTRACT:
A computer case is disclosed that allows a user to open and close the case without the use of special tools or screws. Instead, a user simply slides two sliders on the cover of the case towards each other and simply lifts up the front portion of the cover to gain access to the interior of the case. The slider is monolithically integrated to a latch. The latch contains two spaced-apart arms about a recess. One of the arms of the latch is arcuate so as to guide a portion of the base and a portion of a cover that are slightly separated into the recess so that both portions are mated snugly preventing inadvertent opening of the case. This snug mating can be accomplished by simply sliding a pair of slider in the proper directions. To disengage the cover from the base, the sliders are slid in the opposite directions releasing a portions of the base from contact with a portions of the cover. When the case is released, the front of the cover can be lifted up. A pair of hinges in the rear of the case allow the front of the case to be pivoted open while preventing the cover from being completely detached from the base.
