Protective cases for mobile electronic communication devices
First Claim
1. A protective case for a mobile electronic communication device, the protective case comprising:
- a front cover;
a rear cover configured to couple with the front cover; and
a liner having a peripheral wall, the liner being received by the rear cover, the liner defining a cavity, the cavity configured to receive the mobile electronic communication device, and the liner having a plurality of ribs along its peripheral wall, wherein;
the ribs are configured to contact the mobile electronic communication device when present in the volume of the cavity,the liner has a rear surface extending across a bottom of the cavity and arranged to face a surface of the mobile electronic communication device when the mobile electronic communication device is housed in the protective case, and the peripheral wall of the liner extends from the rear surface toward the front cover when the rear cover is coupled with the front cover,each of the ribs extends a) from the rear surface to a top surface of the peripheral wall and b) inward from the peripheral wall of the liner toward the cavity, andthe liner and the ribs are made of an elastomeric material.
