Abstract
A system and method for bonding a protective cover to a mobile device is disclosed. A cold cast protective cover is permanently bonded to the device and provides protection against damage from dropping, impact, exposure to electric or static discharge, and exposure to liquid, gas, and dusts. The cold cast protective cover takes the shape around all or some desired portion of the outer surface of the mobile device while still providing access to the device's user interface, including display, power and volume buttons, power charging port, memory port, speaker port, camera lens, and the like. The cold cast protective cover can, with additives, increase the safety of the device for Intrinsic Safety or Hazardous environments.
