Protective encasing for a mobile computing device

An integrally formed encasing for a mobile device, comprising:

• a front portion including a discontinuous surface area configured to receive a bottom surface of the mobile device;
• a back portion opposite the front portion;
• side portions configured to convexly couple to side surfaces of the mobile device, the side portions comprising a lip configured to engage the mobile device and contoured in a first U-shape aligned with a first corner and contoured in a second U-shape aligned with a second corner;
• and
• wherein the side portions includes a side region comprising a moveable flap configured to rotate, the side region bound by a first vertex point associated with the first U-shape and a second vertex point associated with the second U-shape.

An integrally formed encasing for a mobile device, molded from an elastomer material, the encasing comprising:

• a front portion including a discontinuous surface area comprising a plurality of protrusions configured to form air gaps between a bottom surface of the mobile device and the discontinuous surface area when encasing the mobile device;
• a back portion opposite the front portion;
• side portions configured to convexly couple to side surfaces of the mobile device, the side portions comprising a lip configured to engage a top surface of the mobile device and contoured in a first U-shape aligned with a first corner and contoured in a second U-shape aligned with a second corner;
• wherein the side portions form an opening for exposing a display screen of the mobile device when the encasing is sleeved over the mobile device;
• and
• wherein the side portions includes a side region comprising a moveable flap configured to rotate, the side region bound by a first vertex point associated with the first U-shape and a second vertex point associated with the second U-shape.
