  • METHODS FOR PROTECTING PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20230042526
    Abstract: A protective film includes an adhesive material configured for “dry” application to a surface that is to be protected, such as the surface of an electronic device. An installation assembly that includes the protective film is configured to minimize or eliminate contact with the protective film as it is applied to the surface that is to be protected. Methods for manufacturing a protective film and an installation assembly that includes the protective film may be effected in contaminant-free conditions. Methods for applying the protective film are also disclosed, as are devices (e.g., electronic devices, etc.) with at least one surface covered with a protective film.

  • PROTECTIVE COVERING WITH A CUSTOMIZABLE IMAGE FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20100270189
    Abstract: A customizable protective cover for electronic devices. A film is prepared which includes a first layer and an adhesive layer. An image is printed on a first side of the first layer such that the image is covered by the adhesive layer and visible through a second side of the first layer when applied to a device. The film provides a protective layer for both the image and the electronic device. The film may include multiple pieces, including portions which include the vinyl layer and other portions where the film comprises solely a transparent covering.
