Abstract:
A case with multi-layer encapsulation of design elements. The case generally comprises a shell including a back panel which incorporates design elements encapsulated in a plurality of layers. Each layer comprises a different design element or a different configuration of design elements. And a method of encapsulation of two or more layers of design elements into a product, including the steps of mixing decorative design elements with a liquid epoxy monomer to form a mixture; adding a hardening agent or catalyst to the mixture; pouring the mixture into a cavity on a case or cover; allowing the mixture to harden to form a cured first layer; applying another layer of epoxy over the cured first layer; arranging decorative design elements onto the uncured layer of epoxy; applying another layer of epoxy over the decorative design elements, and allowing that layer to cure.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of encapsulation of two or more layers of design elements into a product, the method comprising:\n forming a first layer with decorative design elements of a first type encapsulated therein by mixing the decorative design elements of the first type with a first quantity of liquid epoxy to form a mixture, pouring the mixture into a mold or a recess in the product, allowing the mixture to polymerize and harden to form the cured first layer with decorative design elements of the first type; and forming a second layer with decorative design elements of a second type encapsulated therein by pouring a second quantity of epoxy into the mold or recess, arranging the decorative design elements of the second type onto the uncured second quantity of epoxy, applying a third quantity of epoxy over the decorative design elements of the second type, and allowing the second and third quantities of epoxy to cure to form the second layer with the second decorative design elements encapsulated therein.
