Abstract:
1. A phone case for a phone body having when in use a face with a microphone near one end of the phone body and a speaker near another end of the phone body, said case comprising a pocket having a bottom wall, opposing side walls, and a mouth end wall connected to said bottom and side walls beyond the microphone end of the phone body when nested in said pocket; wherein said sidewalls extend along corresponding sides of the phone body from beyond the microphone end thereof to beyond the speaker end thereof; wherein said side and end walls extend away from said bottom wall to form a pocket opening with a rim extending around the mouth such that the mouth is hidden from view and words spoken in a normal voice by a user of the phone body are received by the microphone while being muffled and blocked beyond the case sufficiently to be substantially unintelligible to persons in the vicinity of the user; wherein portions of said rim on opposite sides of said pocket opening are adapted to provide a curved shape conforming generally to the contour of a human face from an ear to a mouth; and wherein a portion of said rim along each of said sidewalls comprises a projecting lip of flexible material that provides a smooth surface for comfortably contacting the user's face and a substantial sound seal with the user's face.
