WATERPROOF CASE
First Claim
1. A protective case for an electronic device comprising:
- a main housing including a case member, the case member including a plurality of female stabilization structures formed therein;
the lid including male stabilization features formed thereon that are received in the female stabilization structures;
the main housing and lid removably joined to define an air and water tight volume receiving an electronic device;
wherein the main housing member includes an inner wall and the lid includes a groove formed therein receiving a gasket wherein the gasket is compressed between the main housing and the lid to provide a water and air tight seal and wherein the compression of the gasket is countered by the male and female stabilization features.

Abstract
A protective case for an electronic device includes a main housing including a case member. The case member includes a plurality of female stabilization structures formed therein. A lid including male stabilization features formed thereon are received in the female attachment structures. The main housing and lid are removably joined to define an air and water tight volume receiving an electronic device. The main housing member includes an inner wall and the lid includes a groove formed therein receiving a gasket wherein the gasket is compressed between the main housing and the lid to provide a water and air tight seal and wherein the compression of the gasket is countered by the male and female stabilization features.
