Abstract
A carrying case for portable electronic equipment is provided which is designed to allow a case carrier to stop an alarm or call sound produced from the electronic equipment without opening the carrying case. The carrying case has a protrusion formed on an inner wall of a cover at a given interval away from an operating button on the electronic equipment disposed within the carrying case. The cover is supported elastically by a case body with a given gap between front edges of the cover and the case body. The depression of the operating button of the electronic equipment through the protrusion to stop the alarm or call sound is achieved by pressing one of the cover and the case body against the other to decrease the gap therebetween. In another modified form, a window is formed in the bottom of the case body for allowing the case carrier to move the electronic equipment within the case body using a finger load, thereby bringing the operating button into engagement with the protrusion on the inner wall of the cover.
