Abstract: An enclosure for a portable electronic device such as a mobile telephone. The enclosure includes a cover made of an elastomer so that it can be stretched over the chassis containing the device's internal components. Raised keys formed on the elastomeric enclosure surface are marked according to their function. The marked key preferably forms a raised portion on the front of the device, that is, the front cover of the enclosure, and cause key pegs extending from the interior wall to close switches on the device's internal component assembly. Various structures formed in the elastomeric cover correspond with features of the chassis so as to tend to retain it in position.

Abstract: A elastomeric cover (300) is disclosed having a perimeter grip (321) for fitting on a raised lens of a mobile station. The elastomeric cover may have at least one strap (351), which may encircle parts of the mobile station. Button key-tops may be covered by the elastomeric cover, wherein the elastomeric cover may flex sufficiently so that the key-top may actuate a circuit. The elastomeric cover may block fluid ingress into the mobile station. The elastomeric cover may be removable without the use of tools.
