Abstract
A set of protective layers configured to protect and enhance a display or interface of a device is provided. The layers may include layers of material to strengthen the respective device components to increase durability and reduce damage from impacts. When the layers are impacted by a foreign object, the force may be absorbed by the strengthened component or transferred to other areas of the device, rather than catastrophically damaging the display, encasement or interface of the device. Additionally, the use of functional layers is provided to enhance device performance and user experience. Related assemblies and methods are also provided.
