Abstract: A binding cover having a transparent overlay cover disposed over and around the spine of the binding is configured to provide a label pocket on the spine portion of the binding cover wherein a label may be inserted easily without tools or rigid label material. In several embodiments the label pocket provides a fixed label space. In another embodiment the label pocket opens along the spine when the binding cover is opened, and returns to a closed position when closed, thereby retaining a label inserted therein. In another embodiment a method for forming the label pocket is provided.

Abstract: A protective case for a portable electronic device combines a first side panel, a second, transparent side panel opposite the first side panel, and a peripheral side panel that is connected to both the first and second side panels. The second, transparent side panel is formed of first and second transparent layers that are bonded together to form a panel having a plurality of uniform, trapped-gas cells, each one fully sealed from all other cells. The transparent side panel enables full visibility of the contents of the case while providing cushioning for the contents. The first side panel also provides cushioning.
