Abstract: A protective restraint system is disclosed for a hand-held remote control device. While providing protection, the protective restraint system simultaneously allows smooth and accurate interaction with the hand-held remote control device, and protection against accidental launching of the hand-held remote control device as a projectile during use. The protective restraint system has a protective membrane that permits button interaction, and a cut-out permitting interaction with a trigger button. The protective restraint system is further adapted to allow for infrared and other communication signals to and from the hand-held remote control device while said device is in use in conjunction with said protective restraint system. Further, port connections with external devices can be made through the case without affecting the protection afforded the electronic device inside.
