Abstract
A case for a mobile communication device includes a base that defines an interior and a first surface and is configured to receive at least a portion of the mobile communication device in the interior. A screen protector is configured to releasably engage the base and defines a first surface of the screen protector. The screen protector is configured to retain a gasket, which is releasably engageable to the screen protector, between the first surface of the base and the first surface of the screen protector. A cover is provided that is releasably engageable with the base and is configured to releasably restrain the screen protector when engaged with the base. The cover defines an opening through which at least a portion of the screen protector is accessible.
