The present disclosure describes a case for portable electronic devices. According to various embodiments, a case may be capable of extending to accommodate different portable electronic devices. A discrete series of grooves within the case may provide the case with additional elasticity. A pattern of tessellations within the case may provide the case with additional elasticity. The increased elasticity may allow the case to be configured to frictionally engage and retain various portable electronic devices with slightly different physical dimensions.

1. A case for a portable electronic device, the case comprising: a rear wall configured to expand to accommodate portable electronic devices of different size, the rear wall including four corners;first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls coupled to the rear wall, wherein the sidewalls and the rear wall are configured in size and shape to frictionally engage and retain a portable electronic device;a first discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a first row diagonally between positions adjacent the first and second sidewalls;a second discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a second row diagonally between positions adjacent the second and third sidewalls;a third discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a third row diagonally between positions adjacent the third and fourth sidewalls; anda fourth discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a fourth row diagonally between positions adjacent the fourth and first sidewalls,wherein the first, second, third, and fourth rows do not intersect one another and wherein the apertures in each row are disposed equidistant from one another. 2. The case of claim 1, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth discrete series of apertures further includes disposing apertures parallel to one another in the same row. 3. The case of claim 1, wherein the first sidewall includes a sidewall aperture to facilitate access to the portable electronic device. 4. The case of claim 1, wherein the rear wall comprises, an elastic portion, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth series of apertures are disposed in the elastic portion, anda reinforcing member including a different material than the elastic portion. 5. The case of claim 4, wherein the elastic portion surrounds the reinforcing member. 6. The case of claim 4, wherein the reinforcing member is rigid and substantially inelastic. 7. The case of claim 4, wherein the reinforcing member includes an elastic material. 8. The case of claim 4, wherein the reinforcing member further comprises a center aperture extending through the rear wall. 9. A case for a portable electronic device, the case comprising: a rear wall including an elastic material configured to expand to accommodate portable electronic devices of different size, the rear wall including four corners;first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls coupled to the rear wall, wherein the sidewalls and the rear wall are configured in size and shape to frictionally engage and retain a portable electronic device;a first discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending diagonally in a first line from a first location proximate to the first sidewall to a second location proximate to the second sidewall;a second discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending diagonally in a second line from a first location proximate to the second sidewall to a second location proximate to the third sidewall;a third discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending diagonally in a third line from a first location proximate to the third sidewall to a second location proximate to the fourth sidewall; anda fourth discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending diagonally in a fourth line from a first location proximate to the fourth sidewall to a second location proximate to the first sidewall,wherein the first, second, third, and fourth lines do not intersect one another and are equivalent in length. 10. The case of claim 9, wherein the apertures in each line are disposed equidistant from one another. 11. The case of claim 9, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth discrete series of apertures further includes disposing apertures parallel to one another in the same row. 12. The case of claim 9, wherein the first sidewall includes a sidewall aperture to facilitate access to the portable electronic device. 13. The case of claim 9, wherein the rear wall comprises, an elastic portion, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth series of apertures are disposed in the elastic portion, anda reinforcing member including a different material than the elastic portion. 14. The case of claim 13, wherein the elastic portion surrounds the reinforcing member. 15. The case of claim 13, wherein the reinforcing member is rigid and substantially inelastic. 16. The case of claim 13, wherein the reinforcing member includes an elastic material. 17. The case of claim 13, wherein the reinforcing member further comprises a center aperture extending through the rear wall. 18. A case for a portable electronic device, the case comprising: a rear wall configured to expand to accommodate portable electronic devices of different size, the rear wall including four corners;first, second, third, and fourth sidewalls coupled to the rear wall, wherein the sidewalls and the rear wall are configured in size and shape to frictionally engage and retain a portable electronic device;a first discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a first row diagonally between positions adjacent the first and second sidewalls;a second discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a second row diagonally between positions adjacent the second and third sidewalls;a third discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a third row diagonally between positions adjacent the third and fourth sidewalls; anda fourth discrete series of unobstructed apertures disposed in the rear wall and extending in a fourth row diagonally between positions adjacent the fourth and first sidewalls,wherein the first, second, third, and fourth rows do not intersect one another and wherein the apertures each have a length, extending along a respective row, greater than their width.
