Electronic device case with a friction surface

摘要

A case for use with an electronic device includes a base portion with side portions extending therefrom forming a pocket. The case also includes a first material generally at an exterior of the pocket, forming a majority of an exterior surface of the base portion, and a second material secured to and having a higher coefficient of friction than the first material, generally at an interior of the pocket. The second material protrudes through aperture(s) in the first material at the base portion to protrude from the interior to the exterior of the base portion, and outward from the first material such that the second material contacts a support surface when the base portion is placed thereon. The protruding second material extends away from the aperture(s) on opposing surfaces of the first material at the exterior and interior of the pocket to provide securement between the first and second materials.

主权项

1. A case for use with a portable electronic device, the case comprising:
a base portion with side portions extending therefrom, the base portion and side portions forming a pocket configured to surround a back and sides of the portable electronic device, the base portion comprising a first material, wherein a majority of an exterior surface of the base portion is formed from the first material; and a second material generally being positioned at an interior of the pocket, the second material protruding through one or more apertures in the base portion and the first material forming the exterior surface thereof so that portions of the second material protrude from the interior of the pocket to the exterior surface of the base portion, and protrude outward past the first material forming the exterior surface of the base portion such that when the base portion of the case is placed on a support surface, the second material protruding through the one or more apertures contacts the support surface; wherein the second material has a higher coefficient of friction than the first material and is secured to the base portion, and wherein the second material protruding through the one or more apertures in the base portion extends away from the one or more apertures along both opposing surfaces of the first material forming the exterior surface of the base portion and the interior of the base portion to create interlock connections between the second material and the base portion that secure the second material to the base portion.
