A protective cover assembly for a portable electronic device, the assembly comprising:
- a cushion enclosure that includes a main body portion and a pouch pivotably connected to a hinge on a back surface of the main body portion, and
- front and back shells that cooperate to form a hard shell housing that at least partially encloses the main body portion of the cushion enclosure, wherein the pouch extends outside the hard shell housing and is pivotable between a docking position and a non-docking position, wherein all surfaces of the pouch that enclose corresponding surfaces of the hard shell housing pivot together at the hinge.
A method comprising the steps of:
- providing a cushion enclosure that includes a front, a back, an interior, a main body portion and a pouch pivotably connected to a hinge on a back surface of the main body portion,
- positioning a portable electronic device having a bottom portion in the interior of the cushion enclosure,
- positioning a front shell over at least a portion of the front of the cushion enclosure,
- positioning a back shell over at least a portion of the back of the cushion enclosure, and securing the front shell to the back shell to form a hard shell housing, wherein the pouch extends outside of the hard shell housing and receives at least a portion of the bottom portion of the portable electronic device, wherein all surfaces of the pouch that enclose corresponding surfaces of the hard shell housing pivot together at the hinge.
A protective cover assembly for a portable electronic device, the assembly comprising:
- a cushion enclosure that defines an interior for receiving the portable electronic device and includes at least a back surface, wherein the back surface has a raised portion extending therefrom, and
- front and back shells that cooperate to form a hard shell housing that at least partially encloses the cushion enclosure, wherein the back shell extends across a portion of the back surface of the cushion enclosure, wherein the back shell has an opening defined therein through which the raised portion extends, wherein the raised portion has a height dimension that is larger than the thickness dimension of the back shell, and wherein the raised portion extends through the opening to extend external to the hard shell housing.
