Problems solved by technology

[0005] [4] These methods of personalization have many disadvantages
However, to obtain such decorative labels, users of portable electronic devices must go to a store to purchase such labels and are limited by the options offered by the vendor
Additionally, the decorative labels thus available cannot be readily applied to a variety of devices, and it is not known whether they will conform well to the various surfaces of portable electronic devices, many of which are irregular or discontinuous , so such labels have the problem of forming creases or wrinkles when applied to such devices
Many such labels are not suitable and are not easily removed from the device

Embodiment 1

[0102] [99] The following formulation of the vinyl halide polymer material was fed into a hopper, extrusion coated, and then calendered to produce the formed film.

[0113] [100] Additional examples of vinyl halide films include the following:

Embodiment 2

[0115] [101] A membrane was prepared by adding 64 parts of Solvesso 100 to the container. With a Cowles mixer at 500 rpm, 14 parts of nitrile rubber (Nipol 1312LV) were added to the vessel. When the rubber is dissolved, 3 parts of heat stabilizer (Baerostab BZ8780) and 0.75 parts of UV absorber (Chimassorb 81) are added to the container. Next, 35 parts of plasticizer (Palamoll 656) and 100 parts of polyvinyl chloride with an intrinsic viscosity of 1.22 and a K-value of 78 were slowly added to the vessel and mixing continued for approximately 30 minutes. The temperature of the material was maintained at or below 28°C. Continue mixing until the mixture, which is now a dispersion, has a maximum PVC particle size (measured with a Hegman fineness meter) of less than 10 microns. The PVC dispersion was filtered through a 25 micron filter and 55 parts of color (Kronos 2220) was added to the container. The dispersion was stirred for 1 minute and filtered with a 10 micron filter unde...

[0126] The above PVC paste is ready for coating to form a PVC film. Two coating techniques can be used: knife on roll (KOR) and reverse roll (RR). The choice of one of these two techniques depends on film thickness, quantity, paste viscosity and film quality. The white film will be coated with a reverse roll coating system since white is produced in larger quantities. Silicone-free release paper was used as the substrate for the coating. The paste was applied to release paper...
