ABSTRACT:
A housing for protecting hand held electronic devices having buttons or controls thereon from damage due to impacts or falls. The housing is made of an elastomer, preferably polyurethane, PVC, or latex, and having a shore number in the range of A10-A30 shores, which is flexible and stretchable to substantially three times its normal size. The housing has a base and four sides, wherein two of the four sides are substantially long and parallel to each other, and the other two of the four sides are substantially shorter than the long sides and parallel to each other as well. On at least one of the substantially shorter sides, there is located a transverse slot of a predetermined length for passage of signals from the electronic device to a receptor if needed. On at least one of the two long parallel sides there is located a transverse groove of predetermined length. A multiplicity of cylindrical projections are located on one side of the base and integral with the base. The projections are approximately 1 mm in length each. A substantially semi-cylindrical flange-like protection border is provided integral with the surface of the four sides. The sides further define an opening for insertion of the electronic device into the housing as well as for access to the buttons or controls. Due to the resiliency of the material, the housing can be used to encase electronic devices up to three times the original size of the housing while protecting the electronic device from damage due to impacts or falls while still allowing access to the buttons or controls located thereon.
