  • Patent number: 11498727
    Abstract: A storage container includes a base having an interior storage volume, a lid, and a latch configured to move between an unsecured position in which the lid is movable from the closed position and a secured position in which the lid is retained in the closed position. The latch is configured to extend through an aperture defined by the lid and the base. The latch includes an extended edge to prevent the latch from passing entirely through the aperture. The latch is captured by the lid and floats within the lid portion of the aperture. The latch also includes a resilient portion configured to engage an opening in the base portion of the aperture to selectively retain the lid and the body in the closed position when the latch is in the secured position.

  • Patent number: 10524552
    Abstract: A lens assembly for covering at least a portion of an electronic device having a camera and a microphone. The lens assembly includes a first optically transparent portion configured to cover the camera of the electronic device. The first optically transparent portion extends from a first front optically transparent region having an area bounded by a light-blocking material covering a portion of a front surface of the lens assembly to a first rear optically transparent region having an area bounded by a light-blocking material covering a portion of a rear surface of the lens assembly. The area of the first rear optically transparent region is larger than the area of the first front optically transparent region. The lens assembly further includes an acoustically transparent portion configured to cover the microphone of the electronic device. The acoustically transparent portion includes a water-resistant membrane.

  • Patent number: 10362847
    Abstract: A protective case for an electronic device having a camera and a microphone. The protective case including a lens assembly that comprises a transparent lens and a water-resistant membrane attached to the transparent lens and configured to cover the microphone of the installed electronic device. The transparent lens has a first side configured to face the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case and a second side opposite the first side. A first portion of the first side and a second portion of the second side are each coated with a light-blocking material. The first portion has an area greater than an area of the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20190029383
    Abstract: A protective case for an electronic device having a touch screen and an audio port. The protective case includes a front portion including a rigid frame extending around a perimeter and a screen aperture configured to provide access to the touch screen of the installed electronic device. The protective case includes a back portion removably attached to the front portion and includes a sealing member configured to directly contact a portion of the electronic device. The sealing member has an aperture defining a circumference configured to encircle the audio port of the installed electronic device and form a water-proof seal between the installed electronic device and the sealing member of the protective case. The protective case includes a vent mesh covering the aperture of the sealing member and configured to allow air to pass through the vent mesh and to resist the flow of water through the vent mesh.
