Abstract
A system for protecting portable electronic devices within a disposable protective enclosure is disclosed. The system includes a housing, one or more processors, and a power source. A display is communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. One or more user interfaces are communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. A device encapsulator is communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The device encapsulator includes a receiving area that is configured to receive at least one portable electronic device and a reactive disposable enclosure material. The device encapsulator further includes at least a first forming element disposed above the receiving area and at least a second forming element disposed below the first forming element. The first and second forming elements are configured to apply a stimulus to the reactive disposable enclosure material. At least one of the first and second forming elements transitions from a first position to a second position as the receiving portion transitions into and out of the housing.
