PROTECTIVE CASES FOR MOBILE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONDEVICES
First Claim
1. A protective case for a mobile electronic communication device having a user input interface, the protective case comprising:
- a rear cover;
a front cover configured to couple with the rear cover, the front cover and the rear cover defining a volume for receiving the mobile electronic communication device when the front cover is coupled to the rear cover, the front cover having an aperture aligned with the user input interface of the mobile electronic communication device when the mobile electronic communication device is received in the volume;
a transparent membrane provided between the front cover and the rear cover to be disposed over the user input interface of the mobile electronic communication device when the mobile electronic communication device is received in the volume and the front cover is coupled to the rear cover; and
a compressible member arranged between the front cover and the membrane and separate from the front cover, the transparent membrane configured to provide a seal between the transparent membrane and the front cover when the mobile electronic communication device is received in the volume and the front cover is coupled to the rear cover.
