Abstract
A water proof sleeve for an electronic device includes an elastic body including an open top and a curved side wall joined to a bottom wall. The curved side wall and bottom wall define an internal cavity receiving an electronic device. A plurality of separated sealing ribs are formed on an internal surface of the side wall. The plurality of sealing ribs are formed circumferentially about the side wall. One of the plurality of sealing ribs is a water sealing rib and includes a radial dimension that is at least twice the size in comparison to the other sealing ribs of the plurality of sealing ribs.

A water proof sleeve for an electronic device comprising:
- an elastic body including an open top and a curved side wall joined to a bottom wall, the curved side wall and bottom wall defining an internal cavity receiving an electronic device;
- and
- a plurality of separated sealing ribs formed on an internal surface of the side wall, the plurality of sealing ribs formed circumferentially about the side wall;
- wherein one of the plurality of sealing ribs is a water sealing rib comprising a first rib edge and an opposite second rib edge, the water sealing rib having a compound curve whereby the first rib edge curves at a first radius and the second rib edge curves at a second radius, the first radius being larger than the second radius.

- and
- a plurality of separated sealing ribs formed on an internal surface of the side wall, the plurality of sealing ribs formed circumferentially about the side wall;
- wherein one of the plurality of sealing ribs is a water sealing rib and includes a radial dimension that is at least twice the size in comparison to the other sealing ribs of the plurality of sealing ribs, the water sealing rib comprising a first rib edge and a second rib edge, the first rib edge positioned closer to the open top relative to the second rib edge, the water sealing rib having a compound curve whereby the first rib edge curves at a first radius and the second rib edge curves at a second radius, the first radius being larger than the second radius.
