Abstract

An assembly that affords easy application of a phone cover of thin, flexible, resiliently stretchable material around a bulbous phone (e.g., a microphone or earphone such as an ear bud). The assembly includes the phone cover that defines a socket adapted to closely receive the phone, and also includes a frame of stiff material having a passageway from which the phone cover is supported with an inlet opening to the socket aligned with the passageway on the frame. The phone can be moved along the passageway into the socket in the phone cover, whereupon the phone cover is separated from the frame.
