Abstract
A lens-fitted photographic film unit includes a unit body having at least a curved surface, such as a semi-cylindrical grip protruding forwardly from a front wall of the unit body. The unit body is wrapped in an outer case made of a sheet material. The sheet material is knurled or indented with a pattern in those portions of the outer case which are bent to cover the curved to impart flexibility thereto, or where the photographer grips the film unit.
