a first rear cut and a second rear cut extending respectively from a first and second side edge of the protective shell, the first and second rear cuts enabling expansion and contraction of a rear section of the protective shell,
the first and second rear cuts extend in a first direction towards the opposite side of the protective shell, and in a second direction towards the front end of the protective shell, and
