Benefits of technology
[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a device and method for protecting portable wireless devices from moisture, such light rain, snow, water spills, etc.
[0005] It is another object of the present invention to provide a device and method for protecting the exterior surfaces of portable wireless devices from being scratched, especially their LCD screens, while they are carried around inside the users' pockets, purses, glove compartments, etc.
[0006] It is still another object of the present invention to provide a device and method for personalizing a portable wireless device so that it is readily distinguishable from other similar devices and thereby lessen its chance of being picked up by mistake by someone thinking it was his own.
Problems solved by technology
With their widespread use, it would not be unexpected that these devices would get a lot of abuse, such as getting exposed to rain, getting their screens scratched up inside a purse or pocket, or accidentally getting picked up by mistake while laying out on a counter.

Embodiment Construction
[0017] A portable wireless device, such as a cellular phones 2, using a protective device R made in accordance with the present invention is disclosed in FIG. 1. The device R is made of a clear or light transmitting plastic material, such as PVC or polyolephin, which has been heat-shrunk to conform to the outer shape of the cellular phone 2. The material is light transmitting to allow the user to clearly see the keypad and screen of the phone. The plastic material is moisture resistant, thereby affording the cellular phone protection from exposure to moisture, such as when used in a light rain, snow, etc. The device R provides a replaceable wearing surface to protect the outer surfaces of the phone from scratches, particularly to the LCD screen, to keep the device looking new longer.
[0018] Referring to FIG. 2, the device R may be imprinted with an indicia 4, such as the shape of an animal head, to provide a distinguishing mark to the cellular phone from other similar phones. The in...

Abstract
A method for protecting a portable wireless device comprises providing a heat-shrinkable, light transmitting plastic bag; inserting the wireless device within the bag; heat shrinking the bag to intimately contact the outer surfaces of the wireless device with the interior surface of the bag. A protective bag for portable wireless device comprises a heat-shrinkable, light transmitting plastic bag adapted to receive completely therein in the portable wireless device, wherein the plastic bag is heat-shrunk to intimately contact the outer surfaces of the device with the interior surface of the bag.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is directed to a device and method for protecting and personalizing a portable wireless device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Portable wireless devices, such as cellular phones, are increasingly popular today for their convenience and the sense of security they give in case of an emergency. It is common today to see someone walking along while using a cellular phone, a driver operating a vehicle with a cellular phone stuck to the driver's ear, or someone on vacation with a cellular phone next to his drink. With their widespread use, it would not be unexpected that these devices would get a lot of abuse, such as getting exposed to rain, getting their screens scratched up inside a purse or pocket, or accidentally getting picked up by mistake while laying out on a counter. [0003] There is, therefore, a need for a device to make these wireless devices more resistant to the weather, such as light rain, provide scratch protection to...
