Mobile media device case/attachment for providing passive acoustic boosting

摘要

A passive acoustic booster attachment for a mobile media device is disclosed, the attachment including an attaching portion, and a passive acoustic boosting portion extending from the attaching portion. The attaching portion attaches the passive acoustic booster attachment to the mobile media device. The passive acoustic boosting portion includes an acoustic waveguide, the acoustic waveguide being a conduit capable of guiding sound waves from at least one speaker of the mobile media device towards a listener. In some embodiments, the attaching portion serves as a case that holds and secures the entire perimeter of the mobile media device. In some embodiments, the attaching portion is a clip that can attach to a mobile media device. By guiding the sound waves produced by the speakers of the mobile media device, the passive acoustic booster attachment provides an enhanced listening experience.

主权项

1. A protective mobile media device case that provides acoustic enhancement of sound produced by a mobile media device when encased therein, the case comprising:
a protective portion that is configured to protectively encase a mobile media device substantially in its entirety, except where necessary to provide access to features of the mobile device when encased therein; and a passive acoustic boosting portion, the passive acoustic boosting portion having at least one acoustic waveguide, the at least one acoustic waveguide having an input opening, an output opening and a waveguide body therebetween, the input opening being located in the boosting portion so that it will be substantially aligned with the at least one speaker of a mobile media device when a mobile device is encased within the protective portion, the at least one acoustic waveguide for enhancing sound produced by the at least one speaker and providing the enhanced sound at the output of the least one acoustic waveguide, wherein the case, as formed by the protective portion and the boosting portion, has a substantially uniform depth between a front and back of the case, and wherein the input, the output and the body of the at least one acoustic waveguide are formed entirely within the substantially uniform depth of the case.
