Abstract

A hard case including a casing with an opening through which an electronic device is housed. The casing has a U-shaped carrying handle which is provided with a pair of projections arranged adjacent to the opening on lateral sides of the casing. Each of the projections is oblate shaped and arranged on the casing with its long axis directed along the lateral side of the casing. Proximal ends of paired arms of the carrying handle are provided with engaging holes. Each of the engaging holes has a circular hole portion made flexible at the inner rim thereof and provided with a diameter a little shorter than the length of the projection when viewed along the long axis of the projection, but longer than the width of the projection when viewed along the short axis of the projection. Each of the engaging holes also has a slot extending continuous from the inner rim of the circular hole portion toward a grip of the carrying handle and having a width larger than the width of the projection, when viewed along the short axis of the projection, so as to allow the projection to be positioned in the circular hole portion with its long axis directed in the longitudinal direction of the arm.
