  • Protective covering for a hand-held device
    Patent number: 6273252
    Abstract: A protective covering for a hand-held device includes a resilient water-impermeable bag which is of one piece. The bag has a single opening through which the device can be inserted in the bag, and a layer of adhesive runs around the opening on the inside of the bag. The adhesive layer is covered by a nonadhesive strip which can be peeled off to expose the adhesive layer. When the bag is closed following removal of the nonadhesive strip, the adhesive layer forms a water-impermeable seal for the opening of the bag.
