Method of Manufacturing a Case of a Mobile Electronic Device

A method of manufacturing a case for a mobile electronic device with a screen, the case having a generally planar rectangular shape for fitting to the edges of the device and comprising two long side walls extending substantially parallel to another and two short end walls extending substantially parallel to one another between the long side walls;

• the method comprising:
• moulding a case portion of a first material of a first hardness forming a substantial portion of the side walls and end walls, and a second material of a second hardness extending around a substantial portion of an inner periphery of the first material, wherein the first hardness is greater than the second hardness;
• presenting a strip to an outer periphery of the case portion, the strip comprising a foil temporarily affixed to a backing layer, and an adhesive on the side of the foil opposite to the backing strip;
• applying heat and pressure to the backing layer while pressing the foil against the outer periphery of the case portion thereby activating the adhesive on the foil to cause the foil to adhere to the outer periphery of the case portion;
• and
• removing the backing strip from which the foil has been removed.
