Abstract
A protective case for an electronic device includes a main housing and a lid. The main housing and lid are removably joined to define a water tight volume receiving an electronic device. The electronic device includes an earpiece having a speaker and microphone positioned thereon. The lid includes an earpiece port formed therein proximate the earpiece of the electronic device. A membrane assembly is attached to the lid by a compliant adhesive, the membrane assembly transmitting sound to the ear piece port. A noise isolating assembly attached to the lid. The noise isolating assembly is positioned about a periphery of the earpiece isolating the earpiece from an additional sound source.
Claims18
A protective case for an electronic device comprising:
- a main housing;
- a lid;
- the main housing and lid removably joined to define an air and water tight volume receiving an electronic device said electronic device including an earpiece having a speaker and microphone positioned thereon;
- wherein the lid includes an earpiece port formed therein proximate the earpiece of the electronic device and a membrane assembly attached to the lid by a compliant adhesive, the membrane assembly transmitting sound to the ear piece port and a noise isolating assembly attached to the lid, the noise isolating assembly positioned about a periphery of the earpiece isolating the earpiece from an additional sound source.
A protective case for an electronic device comprising:
- a main housing;
- a lid;
- the main housing and lid removably joined to define an air and water tight volume receiving an electronic device said electronic device including an audio interface;
- wherein the main housing includes an audio slot formed therein proximate the audio of the electronic device and an audio adapter having a body including an O-ring that seals against the audio slot providing a water tight seal.
A protective case for an electronic device comprising:
- a main housing;
- a lid;
- the main housing and lid removably joined to define an air and water tight volume receiving an electronic device said electronic device;
- wherein the main housing includes locating cavities formed therein, the locating cavities orienting a mounting feature attached to the main housing. proximate the audio of the electronic device and an audio adapter having a body including an O-ring that seals against the audio slot providing a water tight seal.
A protective case for an electronic device comprising:
- a main housing;
- a lid;
- the main housing and lid removably joined to define an air and water-tight volume receiving an electronic device said electronic device including a switch;
- at least one air cavity is formed of a foam, rubber or elastomer material that seals and defines an air volume between the device and any of the lid or main housing in which the air cavity is used to isolate or channel sound to or from a specified area of a microphone or speaker of the device and wherein the main housing includes a slot formed therein proximate the switch of the electronic device and a toggle rotatively positioned within the slot, the toggle including a C-shaped contact portion and the switch positioned in the C-shaped contact portion and actuated by rotation of the toggle.
