Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 20-2024-0001967, filed on November 06, 2024, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. BACKGROUND 1. Field The present disclosure relates to a case for a mobile device, comprising a connecting portion that connects a first body portion and a second body portion at a distance from each other, and characterized in that the first and second body portions are rotatable through the bendable connecting portion. 2. Description of the Related Art Mobile devices, including smartphones, are widely used across all age groups and are electronic devices that are closely intertwined with our daily lives. Beyond making phone calls, mobile devices can be used for a variety of tasks. A widely used feature, beyond phone calls and text messaging, is the camera, and camera functionality continues to improve. Meanwhile, recent mobile devices, even smartphones, have reached a point where they can perform almost the same functions as PCs. With the recent development of foldable displays, foldable mobile devices with two foldable bodies are becoming widespread. These mobile devices are often expensive and are typically used with cases to protect them from shock and damage. Furthermore, cases with various features are being proposed to enhance user convenience. SUMMARY According to one or more embodiments, a mobile device case comprises: a first body portion having a first insertion groove into which a portion of the mobile device is inserted; a second body portion separated from the first body portion and having a second insertion groove into which another portion of the mobile device is inserted; The device may include a first connecting portion, including a first insertion plug detachable from a first side hole located on a first side of the first body portion and a second insertion plug detachable from a second side hole located on a first side of the second body portion, and a first connecting plug connecting the first insertion plug and the second insertion plug. However, these are merely examples, and one or more embodiments are not limited thereto. Additional aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented embodiments of the disclosure. According to one or more embodiments, the first connecting plug has a C-shape, tapering toward the center, and is bendable by the center portion. According to one or more embodiments, the first connecting portion may be made of a synthetic resin material. According to one or more embodiments, the first connecting portion connects the first body portion and the second body portion and allows the first and second body portions to rotate along a predetermined axis. According to one or more embodiments, the first connecting portion joins the first body portion and the second body portion at a predetermined distance, and the distance may vary as the first and second body portions rotate. The predetermined axis may be located in the space between the first body portion and the second body portion. According to one or more embodiments, the first body portion and the second body portion may rotate depending on the degree to which the first connection plug is bent. According to one or more embodiments, the first connection plug may be made of an elastic material and may be bent and restored.
