Accessories for use with housing for an electronic device

An apparatus for housing an electronic device having a touchscreen surrounded by a perimeter portion comprising one or more control features, the apparatus comprising:

• a top member comprising a rigid frame that corresponds to an outer perimeter of the electronic device, the rigid frame having a an interior bounding member and an exterior bounding member that form a channel, the channel containing a gasket, the rigid frame including a first opening, the first opening being overlaid with a flexible member to form a sealed button, the sealed button arranged to engage at least one of the one or more control features of the electronic device when the electronic device is enclosed within the housing;
• and
• a bottom member comprising a front surface and a back surface with a battery positioned between the front and back surface, the front surface and the back surface being surrounded by a perimeter portion defined by a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and opposing side portions, the perimeter portion having an extended wall having a ridge, the wall to couple with one of the interior and exterior members, the ridge to compress the gasket in the top member and to seal the bottom member with the top member.

An apparatus for housing an electronic device having a touchscreen surrounded by a perimeter portion comprising one or more sound features, the apparatus comprising:

• a top member comprising a rigid frame that corresponds to an outer perimeter of the electronic device, the rigid frame having an interior bounding member and an exterior bounding member that form a channel, the rigid frame including a first opening, the first opening being overlaid with a sound-passing, water-impermeable material to form a sealed sound port;
• and
• a bottom member comprising a surface with a battery coupled thereto, the surface being surrounded by a perimeter portion defined by a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and opposing side portions, the perimeter portion having an extended wall to clasp one of the interior and exterior members, and to seal the bottom member with the top member.

A waterproof apparatus for housing an electronic device having a control feature and a touchscreen surrounded by a perimeter portion, the perimeter portion including an electrical interface for charging a battery of the electronic device, the apparatus comprising:

• a two-piece housing for enclosing the electronic device, the two-piece housing having a first housing member and a second housing member configured for interfacing with one another to seal the electronic device within the housing when the first and second housing members are coupled together, one of the first or second housing member having a channel and the other of the first or second housing member having a wall that couples with at least a portion of the channel;
• the two-piece housing including within one or more of the first and second housing members a coil for generating energy, a battery cell for storing the energy generated by the coil, and an internal electrical interface, the battery cell being in operable communication with both of the coil and the internal electrical interface, the internal electrical interface for coupling with the electrical interface of the electronic device so as to provide stored energy from the battery of the housing to the battery of the electronic device.
