Claim Text:
1. An impact protection apparatus, comprising: a flexible and stretchable band capable of placement around a perimeter of an electronic device for which a length of the perimeter falls within a predetermined fixed range, the flexibility of the band enabling the band to adapt to a shape of the perimeter of the device upon placement of the band around the perimeter, the band being removable from the device subsequent to the placement around the perimeter, the stretchability of the band enabling the band to adapt to a different perimeter shape of a second electronic device, the different perimeter shape having a different perimeter length that falls within the predetermined fixed range; a plurality of objects integrated into the band and disposed along a length of the band in pairs, the plurality of objects comprising at least 5 pairs of the objects, each of the objects having a height suitable for causing the device to remain at a distance above a surface on which the device is placed after the band is located around the perimeter of the device, at least a first one of the pairs of objects being disposed along the length of the band so as to contact the device at a corner of the device upon the placement of the band around the perimeter and at least a second one of the pairs of objects being disposed along the length of the band so as to contact the device at a location different from any corner of the device upon the placement of the band around the perimeter; and the band having a groove into which the device is insertable, the groove enabling the band to grip the perimeter of the device.
