Protective enclosure for an electronic device

A protective enclosure for an electronic device, the electronic device including a front surface, a back surface, and a plurality of side surfaces, the front surface and side surfaces of the electronic device defining a front edge, and the back surface and side surfaces of the electronic device defining a back edge, the protective enclosure comprising:

• a bumper portion extending between a first protective rim configured to extend above the front edge of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in protective enclosure and an inner protective rim configured to extend behind the back edge of the electronic device and be in direct contact only with a portion of the back surface of the electronic device proximate the back edge when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure;
• and
• a bottom shell permanently affixed to the bumper portion, the bottom shell having a back portion and a plurality of side portions, the back portion including an inner surface and an opposing outer surface;
• wherein the protective enclosure is configured to define a gap extending between the inner surface of the bottom shell to the back surface of the installed electronic device, the gap configured to be at least partially bounded by the inner protective rim of the bumper portion.

A protective enclosure for an electronic device, the electronic device including a front surface, a back surface, and a plurality of side surfaces, the protective enclosure comprising:

• an elastomeric cushioning member including:
• a top section including a raised beveled edge configured to extend beyond the front surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure;
• a bottom section including a lower edge configured to extend beyond the back surface of the installed electronic device and be in direct contact with only a portion of the back surface of the installed electronic device;
• and
• a plurality of side sections connecting the top section and the bottom section of the elastomeric cushioning member, each of the plurality of side sections being configured to cover a side surface of the plurality of side surfaces of the installed electronic device;
• a polymeric structural member permanently affixed to the elastomeric cushioning member, the polymeric structural member having a back portion and a plurality of side portions, the back portion including an inner surface, the side portions at least partially covering the plurality of side sections of the elastomeric cushioning member;
• and
• a cavity at least partially bounded by the lower edge of the elastomeric cushioning member and the inner surface of the polymeric structural member.
