Abstract:
A case for a portable electronic device includes an enclosed, elongated space extending within the case from an opening in an interior surface of the case. The opening corresponds to the location of a microphone in the device. The enclosed space is tapered to an increasingly smaller cross-section as it extends away from the opening. A first edge of the enclosed space aligns along most of its length with an exterior surface of the case. A screen covers a second opening in the exterior surface of the case along the first edge of the elongated space and provides an acoustic resistance between the elongated space and air outside the case through the second opening. A gasket located at the first opening couples the elongated space to the microphone of the electronic device.

Claim (Index 14):
A case for use with a portable electronic device,\n the case comprising: a microphone; an enclosed, elongated space extending within the case from the microphone and acoustically coupled to the microphone,\n the enclosed, elongated space being tapered to an increasingly smaller cross-section as it extends away from the microphone, and \n a first edge of the elongated space aligning along most of its length with an exterior surface of the case; \n an opening in the exterior surface of the case along the first edge of the elongated space; and a screen covering the opening along the length of the elongated space, the screen providing an acoustic resistance between the elongated space and air outside the case through the opening.
