Patent number: 10448718Abstract: A protective enclosure for an electronic device includes a back structural member configured to connect with a front structural member, the back and front structural member connected with clasping features and forming a hard shell shaped to and surrounding an installed electronic device. An external cushion member can be disposed over the hard shell of the protective enclosure. An internal cushion member can be lined in between the back structural member and the electronic device. The front structural member can include a portion that extends over the touchscreen of the installed electronic device, the portion of the front structural member that extends over the touchscreen of the installed electronic device having the same material as the remaining portion of the front structural member.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Otter Products, LLCInventors: Jamie L. Johnson, Jonathan H. Guerdrum, Aaron M. Gaylord, Shanshan Li, Ross V. Bulkley

Patent number: 9362972Abstract: A protective case for an electronic device having an antenna includes a first case member and a second case member. The first case member includes at least two metallic case portions joined to each other by at least one electrical insulator segment that electrically isolates the at least two metallic case portions from each other to reduce electromagnetic interference between the first case member and the antenna of the electronic device. The second case member that attaches to the first case member to form an enclosure that at least partially encloses the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2016Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: OTTER PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Jamie L. Johnson, Aaron M. Gaylord, Julie T. Pettit, John P. Fitzgerald

Patent number: 9264090Abstract: A metallic protective case for an electronic device having an antenna structure includes a first metallic case element and a second metallic case element. The first metallic case element includes at least two metallic case portions joined to each other by a first set of electrical insulators and also includes a lip. The second metallic case element is hingedly attached to the first metallic case element to form a hinged enclosure having an open position and a closed position. The hinged enclosure is adapted to receive the electronic device when in the open position and at least partially enclose the electronic device when in the closed position. The second metallic case element includes at least two metallic case portions joined to each other by a second set of electrical insulators, a first latch portion, and a second latch portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2015Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: OTTER PRODUCTS, LLCInventors: Jamie L.
