Abstract: An improved soft inside enclosure for shock protection of a variety of external electronic and computer peripheral comprises a set of substantially evenly spaced small columns of Micro Shock Absorber (MSA) protrusions that are integrated on the inside surfaces of the soft inside enclosure. Additionally, the base wall of the MSA structure can include a set of micro venting features for the improvement of heat dissipation from the enclosed devices to the ambient. A number of specific candidate materials are also presented for the construction of the soft inside enclosure with the MSA structure. A method for the systematic and experimental determination of a specific design of the MSA structure based on its durometer, thickness, diameter, column height, and pitch are disclosed.
