Abstract

A portable electronic device protective cover includes a loop-like plastic peripheral strip fitting the periphery of the electronic device to be protected, the loop-like peripheral strip having an insertion slot through which the electronic device to be protected is inserted into the inside of the portable electronic device protective cover, a transparent plastic top panel peripherally sealed to the top side of the loop-like peripheral strip by a high-frequency heat sealing apparatus, and a transparent plastic bottom panel peripherally sealed to the bottom side of the loop-like peripheral strip by a high-frequency heat sealing apparatus.

Claims

1. A portable electronic device protective cover having a shape corresponding to an electronic device to be protected, comprising:

a peripheral strip made of plastic sheet material and having a loop-shaped contour for fitting a periphery of the electronic device to be protected, said peripheral strip having a top side, a bottom side, and a longitudinally extended insertion slot through which the electronic device to be protected is inserted into an interior of the portable electronic device protective cover, said insertion slot having a pair of spaced longitudinally extending peripheral edges and a pair of substantially circular openings respectively formed at opposing longitudinal ends of said insertion slot, each of said openings having a diameter greater than said spacing of said peripheral edges of said insertion slot;

a transparent top panel made of transparent plastic sheet material and peripherally sealed to said top side of said peripheral strip by a high-frequency heat sealing apparatus; and

a transparent bottom panel made of transparent plastic sheet material and peripherally sealed to said bottom side of said peripheral strip by a high-frequency heat-sealing apparatus.
