Abstract
A protective case for an electronic device includes a top member and a bottom member. The top member has a perimeter portion configured for receiving at least a portion of the electronic device and clasping members positioned around interior surfaces of at least two sides. The top member further includes alignment posts around the perimeter and an opening that frames a display of the installed electronic device. The bottom member includes clasping members configured to engage the clasping members of the top member to removably attach the bottom member to the top member The bottom member also includes one or more alignment channels for receiving the alignment posts of the top member to align the top member with the bottom member.

A protective case for an electronic device, the electronic device having a front surface and a display on the front surface, the protective case comprising:
- a top member having a perimeter configured for receiving at least a portion of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case, the top member including a plurality of clasping members positioned around interior surfaces of at least two sides of the perimeter of the top member, the top member further including a plurality of alignment posts distributed around the perimeter of the top member, the top member further including an opening configured to frame the display of the installed electronic device;
- and
- a bottom member including a back wall and a perimeter, the bottom member sized for receiving at least a portion of the installed electronic device, the bottom member including a plurality of clasping members positioned around the perimeter of the bottom member and configured to engage the plurality of the clasping members of the top member, respectively, to removably attach the bottom member to the top member to at least partially enclose the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case, the bottom member further including one or more alignment channels for receiving the alignment posts of the top member to align the top member with the bottom member when the bottom member is removably attached to the top member, wherein the back wall of the bottom member includes a sound enhancing region having a thickness that is less than a thickness of a remaining portion of the back wall of the bottom member.
A protective case for an electronic device, the electronic device having a front surface including a display, the protective case comprising:
- a top member having a perimeter and adapted for receiving at least a portion of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case, the top member including a plurality of clasping members positioned proximate at least two sides of the perimeter of the top member, the top member further including an opening adapted to frame the display of the installed electronic device;
- and
- a bottom member including a back wall and a perimeter, the bottom member sized for receiving at least a portion of the installed electronic device, the bottom member including a plurality of clasping members positioned proximate the perimeter of the bottom member and configured to engage the plurality of the clasping members of the top member, respectively, to removably attach the bottom member to the top member to at least partially enclose the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case, the back wall of the bottom member including a sound enhancement region for enhancing sound from the installed electronic device, the sound enhancement region having a thickness that is less than a thickness of other portions of the back wall of the bottom member;
- wherein one of the top member and the bottom member further includes a plurality of alignment posts positioned proximate the associated perimeter of the top member, and another of the top member and the bottom member further includes one or more alignment channels for receiving the alignment posts to align the top member with the bottom member when the bottom member is removably attached to the top member.
A protective case for an electronic device, the electronic device having a front surface including a display, the protective case comprising:
- a first member having a perimeter, the first member configured for receiving at least a portion of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case, the first member including a plurality of clasping members positioned proximate the perimeter on at least two sides the first member, the first member further including an opening configured to frame the display of the installed electronic device;
- and
- a second member including a back wall and a perimeter, the second member sized for receiving at least a portion of the installed electronic device, the second member including a plurality of clasping members positioned proximate the perimeter of the second member and configured to engage the plurality of the clasping members of the first member, respectively, to removably attach the second member to the first member to at least partially enclose the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case, the back wall of the second member including a sound enhancement region that is thinner than other portions of the back wall of the second member;
- wherein one of the first member and the second member further includes a plurality of alignment posts positioned proximate the associated perimeter of the first member, and another of the first member and the second member further includes a plurality alignment receiver each configured for receiving a respective one of the plurality of alignment posts to align the first member with the second member when the second member is removably attached to the first member.
