Protective enclosure for electronic device

A protective cover for an electronic device having an interactive control panel and one or more electrical contacts for receiving electrical communication, the protective cover comprising:

• a protective shell that is crush resistant and has an inner surface and an outer surface, the protective shell formed to at least partially cover the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell, the electronic device being a separate unit from the protective shell;
• an aperture defined by the protective shell, the aperture being aligned to expose at least the interactive control panel when the electronic device is at least partially covered by the protective shell;
• and
• an electrical connection affixed to an internal portion of the protective shell, the electrical connection connecting to at least one of the one or more electrical contacts of the electronic device and conveying data communication between the at least one of the one or more electrical contacts of the electronic device and an electrical communication source when the electronic device is at least partially covered by the protective shell and the electrical connection is operably connected with the electrical communication source.

A protective cover for an electronic device having an interactive control panel and one or more electrical contacts, the protective cover comprising:

• a protective shell having an inner surface and an outer surface bounded by a proximal end, a distal end, and opposing side portions, the protective shell formed to at least partially cover the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell, the electronic device being a separate unit from the protective shell, the inner surface formed to receive the electronic device;
• an electrical connection affixed to at least part of the inner surface of the protective shell, the electrical connection providing communication between an electrical source and the electrical contacts of the electronic device when the electronic device is received by the inner surface of the protective shell;
• and
• one or more light transmissive features, at least one of the one or more light transmissive features positioned to transmit a light signal from an indicator light, the light signal representing a condition of a power source that charges the electronic device.
