Patent ID: 8767992

Claim:
A protective mobile media device case that provides acoustic enhancement of sound produced by a mobile media device when encased therein, the case comprising: a protective portion that is configured to protectively encase a mobile media device substantially in its entirety, except where necessary to provide access to features of the mobile device when encased therein; and a passive acoustic boosting portion, the passive acoustic boosting portion having at least one acoustic waveguide, the at least one acoustic waveguide having an input opening, an output opening and a waveguide body therebetween, the input opening being located in the boosting portion so that it will be substantially aligned with the at least one speaker of a mobile media device when a mobile device is encased within the protective portion, the at least one acoustic waveguide for enhancing sound produced by the at least one speaker and providing the enhanced sound at the output of the least one acoustic waveguide, wherein the case, as formed by the protective portion and the boosting portion, has a substantially uniform depth between a front and back of the case, and wherein the input, the output and the body of the at least one acoustic waveguide are formed entirely within the substantially uniform depth of the case.
