Abstract

This is a process of hydropainting a case, box, container, shell, protector, or holder for an electronic device or communication device. In one example, we describe a method which offers the advantage of eliminating the need to mask the device, and therefore, it reduces the cost of using this printing method to add graphics to the case. One example is based on an over-molded or dual-shot case. The case has a hard external shell manufactured by injection molding. This external shell is then over-molded in key areas with a soft rubber material, to provide a case that cushions the electronics with the rubber, but also provides the hard case protection of the external shell. It also provides excellent printing quality, at a lower cost and production time.
