Abstract: A protective case comprising a rigid or substantially rigid exterior which is preferably divided into a lid section and a base section pivotally joined together with one or more hinge mechanisms is disclosed. A divided first layer of material is preferably joined in continuous contact with the interior of the lid section and the interior of the base section so that no empty space or dead space exists between portions of the first layer of material contacting the lid section and portions of the first layer contacting the base section. A divided second layer of material is preferably joined in continuous contact with the first layer of material so that no empty space or dead space exists between the second layer of material and both portions of the first layer of material contacting the lid section and the base section.
