Metallic protective case for electronic device
First Claim
1. A protective case for an electronic device having an antenna, the protective case comprising:
- a first case member including at least two metallic case portions joined to each other by at least one electrical insulator segment that electrically isolates the at least two metallic case portions of the first case member from each other to reduce electromagnetic interference between the first case member and the antenna of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case; and
a second case member that attaches to the first case member to form an enclosure that at least partially encloses the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case.

Abstract
A protective case for an electronic device having an antenna includes a first case member and a second case member. The first case member includes at least two metallic case portions joined to each other by at least one electrical insulator segment that electrically isolates the at least two metallic case portions from each other to reduce electromagnetic interference between the first case member and the antenna of the electronic device. The second case member that attaches to the first case member to form an enclosure that at least partially encloses the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case.

14. A protective case for an electronic device having an antenna, the protective case comprising:
-
a first case element including a first metallic case portion and a second metallic case portion, the second metallic case portion joined to the first metallic case portion by a dielectric material that electrically isolates the second metallic case portion from the first metallic case portion to reduce any electromagnetic interference of the first case element to the antenna of the electronic device; and a second case element that interfaces with the first case element to form an enclosure that at least partially encloses the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

- 19. A protective cover for an electronic device having an antenna, the protective cover comprising a case member including a cavity for receiving the electronic device, the case member at least partially enclosing the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the cavity of the case member, the case member including at least two case portions, the at least two case portions of the case member each comprising one or more metallic materials, the at least two case portions joined to each other by a dielectric material that electrically isolates the at least two case portions from each other to reduce any electromagnetic interference between the case member and the antenna of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective cover.
