  • Protective layer for use in computing devices with touch-sensitive surfaces
    Patent number: 7944436
    Abstract: A computing device is disclosed comprising a touch-sensitive surface, a housing structure, and a protective layer. The touch-sensitive surface receives touch as input, and a housing structure has a tip segment that overlays the touch-sensitive surface. This tip segment of the housing structure is positioned to form a gap over the touch-sensitive surface. The protective layer is positioned to contact the tip segment of the housing structure and the touch-sensitive surface so as to form an obstruction in the gap against intrusions, such as debris buildup, for example.
