Abstract:
A protective case for a mobile device having a multi-layered construction is disclosed. The multi-layered construction includes two layers co-molded to one another and produces a lightweight and low-profile case providing a high level of impact protection. The first layer generally forms the internal rigid shell of the case, and the second layer forms the external soft shell of the case which may include a perforated pattern of holes. The first layer is comprised of material that has a hardness greater than the second layer. The layers are configured to interact with one another so that they are capable of distributing and absorbing impact forces to mitigate damage to the mobile device. The first layer includes apertures in which the second layer forms buttons corresponding to mobile device user controls. The second layer also bonds through attachment openings at the corners of the first layer.

Claim (Index 1):
A protective case for an electronic device, the protective case comprising:\n an inner shell constructed of a first material, the inner shell having a perimeter and opposing front and back sides, the shell perimeter including one or more apertures configured to correspond to one or more user control interfaces of the electronic device and a plurality of attachment openings; and an outer layer constructed of a second material with a lower hardness than the first material, the outer layer including a first outer layer bonded to the front side of the inner shell and a second outer layer bonded to the back side of the inner shell, the outer layer having a plurality of attachment connections constructed of the second material configured to bond the first outer layer to the second outer layer through the attachment openings, wherein the first outer layer and the second outer layer merge together at the perimeter of the inner shell and encase at least a portion of the inner shell in a continuous outer envelope overlay, and wherein the first outer layer and the second outer layer merge in one or more of the apertures and form button covers therein.
