Protective enclosure for electronic device

A protective cover for an electronic device having a front surface including a capacitance-sensing touch screen display, a back surface, and a plurality of peripheral sides at least one peripheral side having one or more control buttons positioned along said peripheral side, the electronic device including a camera feature, the protective cover comprising:

• a protective shell base having an inner surface and an outer surface bounded by a plurality of side members defining a perimeter of the protective shell base, the perimeter at least partially covering the peripheral sides of the electronic device and having one or more compliant portions formed to flexibly engage the electronic device, the protective shell base formed to at least partially cover the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base, the electronic device being a separate unit from the protective shell base, the inner surface formed to receive the back surface of the electronic device;
• a first opening defined by the perimeter of the protective shell base, the first opening being aligned to expose at least the capacitance-sensing touch screen display of the electronic device when the electronic device is at least partially covered by the protective shell base;
• a cushioning member molded with the inner surface of the protective shell base;
• an access hole in one of the plurality of side members of the protective shell base, the hole for accessing at least one of the one or more control buttons of the electronic device after the electronic device is received by the inner surface of the protective shell base;
• and
• a second opening, passing through the protective shell base and providing visual access to the camera feature of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base.

A protective cover for an electronic device having a front surface including a capacitance-sensing touch screen display, a back surface, and a plurality of peripheral sides at least one peripheral side having one or more control buttons positioned along said peripheral side, the electronic device including a camera feature, the protective cover comprising:

• a protective shell base having an inner surface and an outer surface bounded by a plurality of side members defining a perimeter of the protective shell base, the perimeter at least partially covering the peripheral sides of the electronic device and having one or more compliant portions formed therein, the protective shell base configured to at least partially cover the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell base, the electronic device being a separate unit from the protective shell base, the inner surface formed to receive the back surface of the electronic device;
• a first opening defined by the perimeter of the protective shell base, the first opening being aligned to expose at least the capacitance-sensing touch screen display of the electronic device when the electronic device is at least partially covered by the protective shell base;
