Abstract:
A non-limiting example cover includes a first cover portion that is provided with a plurality of operation buttons. Each of key tops of the plurality of operation buttons is constituted by a key top portion, an actuator and a conductive member. A connection portion of a conductive sheet is provided between the key top portion and the actuator, and the connection portion is connected, via a coupling portion, to a body portion that is provided on an outside of an area arranged with the key tops. The connection portion is connected to a protrusion provided on a lower side of the key top. Resin plating is applied to the protrusion, and when the key top is depressed and thus a portion of the key top portion where the protrusion is provided is brought into contact to the conductive member, the conductive member and the conductive sheet are electrically connected to each other via the resin plating. Therefore, an electrostatic capacitance of a touch panel changes at a portion that the conductive member is in contact, whereby it can be detected that the touch panel is touched at the portion concerned.

Claim (Index 20):
A cover that is removably attachable to electronic equipment having a touch screen equipped with a touch panel of an electrostatic capacitance system and a display, comprising:\n a first cover portion that covers at least a part of the touch screen; and a second cover portion that covers a surface of the electronic equipment opposite to a surface provided with the touch screen, wherein the first cover portion is formed with an opening or cutout configured to make at least a part of the touch screen be visually recognized, and the first cover portion is provided with a key top that is operable by a user and a conductor configured to contact to the touch panel and is connected in order to make the touch panel react in response to an operation of the key top, and the key top includes a first portion that is touched when being operated by the user, a second portion that is contactable to the conductor and a third portion that connects the first portion and the second portion to each other, the third portion having conductivity.
