  • Publication number: 20160254835
    Abstract: A screen and perimeter protector is provided that includes one or more of a screen protection layer, an outer layer, and/or an internal liner, as a single piece. A device is inserted into the screen and perimeter protector by pushing the front side of the electronic device containing the display into the back side of the screen and perimeter protector. Thus, the screen protector layer does not need to be adhered to the electronic device and the back side of the electronic device is exposed to the atmosphere, while the front side and perimeter are protected from impacts and the environment.
