An electronic device case comprises a housing having a pivotable light arm and a receptacle. The light arm may be displaced between a stowed position and a use position. When in the use position, the light arm reduces the amount of glare light and increases the uniformity of light distribution to effectively illuminate the display of the electronic device. The receptacle comprises a lip over-molded to a base. The lip may be formed of a material that is more flexible than a material forming the base.

1. A case for holding an electronic device, the case comprising: a housing comprising a base and a wall arranged around a perimeter of the base, the wall comprising an edge arranged around an inside of the wall defining a receptacle to removably receive the electronic device, the edge formed of a material more flexible than a material forming the base, at least a portion of the edge extending over a portion of the base to retain the electronic device in the receptacle;a light arm pivotably attached to the wall to deploy from a stowed position to a use position, the light arm configured to shine light on the electronic device removably received in the receptacle when the light arm is in the use position;a recess arranged in an outside of the wall opposite the edge to receive the light arm when the light arm is in the stowed position; anda cover pivotably attached to the housing to cover the electronic device removably received by the housing. 2. The case of claim 1, wherein: the light arm comprises a pivot end and a light disposed distal to the pivot end;the pivot end pivotably attaches proximate to a hinge pivotably attaching the cover to the housing; andwhen the light arm is in the use position the light is substantially centered at a middle of a width of the housing. 3. The case of claim 1, wherein: the light arm comprises a pivot end and a light disposed distal to the pivot end; andthe pivot end pivotably attaches proximate to a hinge pivotably attaching the cover to the housing. 4. A case for removably receiving an electronic device, the case comprising: a housing comprising a base and a lip, the lip fixed above and extending over at least a portion of the base, the base and the lip defining a receptacle to removably receive the electronic device, and the lip to retain the electronic device in the receptacle; anda light arm pivotably attached to an outside of a wall of the housing to deploy from a stowed position to a use position, the light arm being substantially flush with the outside of the wall of the housing when in the stowed position and illuminating the electronic device removably received in the receptacle when pivoted into the use position. 5. The case of claim 4, wherein the lip is over-molded to the base. 6. The case of claim 4, wherein the lip is formed of a material that is more flexible than a material forming the base. 7. The case of claim 6, wherein the lip is formed of a thermoplastic polyurethane or a thermoplastic rubber. 8. The case of claim 6, wherein the base is formed of a polycarbonate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or a polycarbonate. 9. The case of claim 4, further comprising a cavity arranged in the base to provide a passage way for sound produced by a speaker of the electronic device removably received in the receptacle. 10. The case of claim 4, further comprising first and second cavities arranged in the base and separated from one another by a ridge, the first and second cavities each providing a respective passage way for sound produced by a respective speaker of the electronic device removably received in the receptacle, and the ridge to keep separate the sounds produced by the respective speakers of the electronic device. 11. The case of claim 4, further comprising a recess arranged in a top portion of the housing, the recess to receive the light arm in the stowed position. 12. The case of claim 4, further comprising a side cutout arranged in a side of the housing, the side cutout to provide access to a button of the electronic device removably received in the receptacle. 13. A housing for receiving an electronic device, the housing comprising: a wall arranged around a perimeter of the housing, the wall comprising a lip arranged on an inside of the wall opposite an outside of the wall and defining a receptacle, the lip extending over at least a portion of a base of the receptacle to retain the electronic device in the receptacle;a light arm comprising a fulcrum on a first end and a light on a second end that is distal to the first end; anda recess arranged to receive the light arm when the light arm is in a stowed position, the recess comprising a cooperating pocket to pivotably couple with the first end of the light arm, the fulcrum and the cooperating pocket providing for selectively pivoting the light arm between the stowed position and a use position. 14. The housing of claim 13, wherein the light arm is displaced horizontally between the stowed position and the use position relative to a width of the housing. 15. The housing of claim 13, wherein the housing defines a plane and the light arm is displaced at least about 15 millimeters to at most about 30 millimeters perpendicular to the plane defined by the housing when the light arm is in the use position. 16. The housing of claim 13, wherein the second end of the light arm pivots about the first end when the light arm is deployed from the stowed position to the use position, the second end pivoting approximately between 30 degrees and 90 degrees when deploying to the use position from the stowed position. 17. The housing of claim 13, wherein in the use position the light is substantially centered at a middle of a width of the housing to provide substantially even illumination on the electronic device received in the housing. 18. The housing of claim 13, wherein the light is recessed behind a visor arranged in the light arm, the visor to direct light emitted from the light toward the electronic device received in the housing to substantially prevent the emitted light from shining in a user's eye when the light arm is in the use position. 19. The housing of claim 13, wherein the light comprises a lens having an edge, the edge to receive light from an LED. 20. The housing of claim 19, wherein the lens is formed of an optically clear polyethylene terephthalate. 21. The housing of claim 13, wherein: the light comprises a lens having an optical surface relief structure, the optical surface relief structure to receive light from an LED and diffract the light towards the receptacle. 22. The housing of claim 13, wherein the cooperating pocket comprises a stop surface to prevent the light arm from being pivoted past the use position.
