As described in greater detail later, the optical device 10 can also be constrained in a releasable manner to the frame 20.
  • the optical device 10 may include a magnet 15 (i.e. a permanent magnet) , which is fixed to the support 12 of the optical device 10, and in particular, for example, to a portion of the support 12 interposed between the first and the second lens 14, 16.

  • the aforementioned parallelepiped shape more specifically refers to the envelope of the main body 2, i.e. it is obtained by assuming that the first and second cavities 4, 6 are full.
  • main body 2 it comprises a plurality of holes 18, which are suitable to allow the user to access the keys of the cellular phone when the latter is housed in the first cavity 4.
  • one of the holes 18 may be adapted to prevent the main body 2 from obstructing the camera lens of the cellular phone when the latter is housed in the first cavity 4.
  • the frame 20 it is for example of the frame-like type.
  • the frame 20 is hinged to the main body 2 so that it can be rotated about an axis H.
  • the frame 20 has the shape of a frame with a reduced thickness compared to the other two dimensions; when viewed along a direction parallel to the thickness dimension, the frame has the shape of a rectangle with rounded vertices. In other words, the frame 20 has the shape of a parallelepiped with rounded edges.
  • the frame is formed by a first and a second elongated element 22a, 22b, opposite to each other, and by a third and a fourth elongated element 22c, 22d, which are opposite to each other and connect the first and second elongated elements 22a, 22b.
  • the first, second, third and fourth elongated elements 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d form the side walls of the parallelepiped with rounded edges .
  • the first elongated element 22a is hinged to one of the above-mentioned greater side walls of the main body 2, so that it can be rotated about the aforementioned axis H, which, without any loss of generality, is parallel to the direction along which the first and second elongated elements 22a, 22b extend, this direction being perpendicular to the direction along which the third and fourth elongated elements 22c, 22d extend, and parallel to the direction along which the cellular phone extends.
  • the axis H is parallel to each side of a pair of adjacent sides of the parallelepiped formed by the first cavity 4, and thus is parallel to both the front/rear surface and the two remaining side surfaces of the cellular phone; in yet other words, the axis H is parallel to the longitudinal symmetry axis of the cellular phone.
  • the aforementioned second portion P2 of the frame 20 may be formed by a portion of the second elongated element 22b.
  • the case 1 may be used in a first and in a second operating mode.
  • the frame 20 In the first operating mode, the frame 20 is arranged in a first position, where it surrounds the main body 2, and hence, the first cavity 4 and the cellular phone.
  • the first and second elongated elements 22a, 22b are arranged parallel to, and are aligned with, the smaller side walls of the main body 2, while the third and fourth elongated elements 22c, 22d are arranged parallel to, and are aligned with, the bases of the parallelepiped formed by the main body 2.
  • the frame 20 when in the first position, the frame 20 is arranged next to the main body 2, i.e. there is no, or anyway a reduced, angular distance from the main body 2.
  • the frame 20 assumes a second position angularly spaced from the main body 2; the case 1 thus moves into the second operating mode.
  • the second elongated element 22b of the frame 20 moves away from the main body 2.
  • the frame 20 rotates so as to be facing at least part of the second surface S2, i.e. the first cavity 4, and therefore the cellular phone screen.
  • the cellular phone is arranged in the first cavity 4 so that the rear of the cellular phone faces the main body 2, while the screen faces the outside. In this way, the cellular phone screen is visible both in the first and in the second operating mode .
  • the user can remove the optical device 10 from the second cavity 6 and constrain it to the frame 20, before or after the latter has been placed in the second position.
  • the frame 20 can be locked in a releasable manner in the second position, for example by means of an interlocking mechanism (not shown) , or by means of a dedicated magnetic coupling system (not shown) .
  • the optical device 10 can be constrained, for example in a magnetic way, to the second elongated element 22b of the frame 20. As can be seen in Figures 4 and 5, the optical device 10 is thus arranged in front of the second surface S 2 , so as to be substantially parallel to the latter. In practice, the optical device 10 faces the cellular phone screen, which can then be easily viewed by the user through the first and the second lens 14, 16. More specifically, the optical axes of the first and second lenses 14, 16 may be perpendicular to the second surface S 2 , and hence to the cellular phone screen.
  • the optical device 10 forms a pair of stereoscopic glasses, i.e. a pair of 3D glasses. Therefore, in a manner known per se, the cellular phone can generate images and videos on its screen, which, when viewed by the user through the optical device 10, give the user an impression of three-dimensionality.
  • the case 1 may further comprise a battery 30 and a magnetic coil 32 (only shown in Figure 1), the magnetic coil 32, for example, being of the planar type.
  • the battery 30 and the magnetic coil 32 are integrated into the main body 2 and are electrically connected to each other so that the magnetic coil 32 receives an electric signal, and hence energy, from the battery 30.
  • the energy stored in the battery 30 can be transferred, through the magnetic coil 32, to the cellular phone, and in particular to the battery of the cellular phone, thanks to the magnetic coupling established between the magnetic coil 32 and the cellular phone.
  • the case 1 may comprise a proximity sensor 40 (shown in Figure 4), of a type known per se, which is, for example, integrated into the main body 2 and adapted to detect whether the frame 20 is in the first position, and therefore whether the case 1 is operating in the first operating mode, or in the second position, and therefore whether the case 1 is operating in the second operating mode.
  • the proximity sensor 40 generates an electrical signal indicative of the position of the frame 20.
  • the proximity sensor 40 enables, optionally through the mediation of a control unit (not shown) , the transfer of the electrical signal from the battery 30 to the magnetic coil 32 only after detecting that the case 1 is operating in the second operating mode, and stops it after detecting that the case 1 has moved back to the first operating mode.
  • the present case is characterised by reduced overall dimensions and a high ease of switching from the first to the second operating mode, as well as reduced costs.
  • the case closed, i.e. in the first operating mode, in which the case only protects the cellular phone housed in the first cavity 4, with very small overall dimensions.
  • the user wishes, he/she removes the optical device 10 from the second cavity 6, places the case in the second operating mode and constrains the optical device 10 to the frame 20; under these conditions, the user can enjoy a stereoscopic vision of the content displayed on the cellular phone screen.
  • the optical device 10 may have a different arrangement than described above; for instance, the second cavity 6 may be absent.
  • the shapes of the main body 2 and of the frame 20 can be different than described above; for example, the contour of the frame 20 may be incomplete, i.e. one or more of the above-mentioned elongated elements may be missing, in which case, in the first operating mode, only a part of the main body is surrounded by the frame.
  • the frame when passing from the first to the second position, the frame angularly moves away from the main body, i.e. increases its angular distance from the latter; moreover, the stereoscopic glasses may be constrained to a portion of the frame which is at a greater distance from the main body when the frame is in the second position than when the frame is in the first position.
  • the optical device 10 may be constrained to the frame 20 before the latter has taken the second position; for example, the optical device 10 may be constrained to the frame 20 when the latter is still in the first position, i.e. before rotating the frame 20 to bring it into the second position.
  • the constraint/hinge mechanisms can be different than described above.
  • the case 1 may comprise a control unit (not shown) adapted to enable the transfer of the electrical signal from the battery 30 to the magnetic coil 32 without the need for the case 1 to be in the second operating mode.
